So basically it got everything wrong. Closest was 360, but it was still nearly 20% out.
So this methodology is worse than VGC.
People so fast to come here and say "downplay incoming" without actually analysing whether this is quality information. Indeed presenting this as any sort of definitive information is mischevious. Direst retailer information (if their website best seller rankings are actual sales) suggests it was very close and possibly a PS4 win.
