Illogical theory and in no way "clear". 

1. We don't know  the sales difference between positions to just break it down into even splits.

2. 2 of those PS4s aren't counted until November.

The natural way is to assume that the unit differences are getting greater the closer you get to the top. So it would look even worse for X1 right now.

So where do you think, X1 will be at October NPD?

But when you consider there are thousands of items in the video game category the whole top 100 is the top. And also it might be natural to assume the gap is larger in the top to compared to 80-100. But that may not be the case. When you have several items selling very well then the gap between those several items may be small, but then there is a sudden large gap between the worst of the best and the best of the worst. That would make the average gap quite large, but the actual gaps between adjacent positions would mostly be small. We cannot draw any real conclusions about how much one item is outselling another.

The Halo 5 bundle is so close to breaking into the top 20. Possibly for the first time since August?
