theire 2013 and 2014 report

2013 xbox one won bf by a mile because of ps4 shortages, but lost overall november npd due to higher ps4 preoder and launch sales...
2014 xbox one won bf and total november npd by 400k

True, they predicted the winner, but both of those black Fridays were fairly obvious (i.e. anecdotal evidence said the same thing) and we have no idea how accurate their actual numbers were. 

I'm not saying they're wrong, that Gears bundle at Target was likely very tempting, but I'm not sure how accurate their numbers actually are. (Some) People seem to misread their analysis of 250,000 receipts as if every one of those purchases was going towards a game. But going by their report last year, only 2,000 of the 180,000 submitted receipts were towards games-related merchandise. There is quite a discrepancy in the accuracy of a survey conducted between 250k consumers and 2 to 5k. 

And thanks for the greetings, everyone. 

and maybe less than 500 hw surveys
