For your consideration, the following meteric:

 

Sometimes I think people forget that parents can have a heave influence on sales results.  In the sample above consider the following:

·         The vast majority of buyers of the Wii U were parents.  For the Xbox One, this number amounted for 2/3 or purchases.

·         The PS4 was the only console were the majority of people bought the console for themselves at 55%

·         Are parents more likely to use an app that gives them credit for reporting ther purchases?  In otherwords, are the results skewed in favor of parents who would use such an app for rebates and rewards?

·         As a responsible parent, doesn't it make sense to get the cheapest console for your kids? (When comparing to similar consoles like the Xbox One and PS4)

 ·         Why are only 8% of Wii U owners buying the consoles for themselves?  And conversely, does the higher price of the PS4 motivate purchases for ownership reasons?

Because that is assuredly untrue and that's why this report is bogus. Only 8% of WiiU owners bought it for themselves? Madden 15 is the best selling game in November? Meanwhile Smash doesn't chart, but Watch_Dogs does? Everything about the report is fishy.
