I don't know if anyone noticed but with the hardware YoY tool (the one that's not broken) you can see that VGC gives PS4 the NPD win. ~350k vs ~300k. We'll see how that stacks up against tomorrow.  Numbers don't seem right tbh, including global. PS4 with price cut is flat and X1 a neglible (~30k-50k WW) increase with Halo 5? 

For PS4 you have to drill down to the weekly numbers. The week before the price cut - w/e 11 Oct - PS4 will be substantially down on 2014, the subsequent weeks PS4 will be substantially up, but that one down week will over the course of the month make the $50 cut seem like it has had less of an effect that it did. The one week we do have hard number for, - 31 Oct - PS4 is up YoY by 27K or 10%. That's possibly a bit on the low side but it is up.

You're forgetting the Japanese price cut, which should offset the YoY decline elsewhere.

You mean 30K? That's only 15K above the previous Japan weekly average. That's not going to be anywhere near compensating for PS4 being substantially down everywhere else in the world. The big boost was the previous week, which counts towards September.
