OK. Pretty sure I have almost exact PS4 number assuming Xb one 305K is pretty much correct to within 1000
Based on NPD PR from the venture beat article:
"Console hardware sales increased by 3 percent over October 2014,” he said. “This was due entirely to [Xbox One and PlayStation 4] generation sales, which rose by 12 percent to offset the 66 percent decrease in hardware sales for last generation consoles.”

PS4+Xbone is 12% up on PS4+Xb one Oct 2014.
Oct 2014 Xb one + PS4 *12% = 553,831-305K (Xb one) = 248,851 for PS4.

Better than the 230K extrapolated from Zhuge's deleted tweet, but not much better. 50K down YoY which is almost 20%. But I am surprised NPD didn't comment that PS4 is down YoY while Xb one is up. So the fact is all hardware is down bar Xb one. But somehow NDP/VB decided to say PS4+Xb one is up YoY. Weird and quite misleading.

Problem is we can't be sure whether they mean actual units sold or revenue in these comments.

If Zhuge actually has numbers. And the 8th gen home console cumulative is in the low 600's despite his tweet being wrong by saying ~600K and being deleted it does seem to point to PS4 being in the 250K range. 

Well I did delete that tweet because it was wrong :P
