Geez, you guys gotta calm down on treating the hourlies as gospel. As it currently stands, the PS4 has two SKUs in the top 100 monthly chart counting for this month, while the XBO has three. Granted, PS4 is @ #9 & #83, while the XBO is @ #53, #92 & #94, but I think you guys are severely overestimating the significance of this hourly snapshot, even though it has been going on for a few days.

Every day eventually adds up to a month. PS4 wins this month easily and I know that NOT because I look at the monthlies but because I follow the dailies, which then gets reported eventually in the monthlies. Why wait a whole month when you can see the potentail result at the beginning of the month, the likely result in the middle of the month and the outcome towards the end of the month? If people just want to wait until the end of the month that's fine. I prefer watching how it goes ALL month. Keeping up with the dailies has produced a 100% record for who eventually appears in the lead in the monthlies.

Yeah, but people act like the current hourly snapshot is in any way representative for the rest of the month, which it rather clearly isn't.
