Well for all practical purposes, given the low sample size, it is not possible to say whether PS4 or Xb one had higher sales on BF. I tend to give the edge to PS4 since Amazon and Infoscout agree that PS4 sold the most, it's just that on Amazon the apparent difference between the two was bigger.
My NPD pick for the PS4 win is <100K. So in the end I seem to be agreeing with X1Gates
But let us say that BF2015 is 10% up on BF2014 on a two console comparison. VGC has last years BF week at ~1.1 million. That would make this BF week 1.21 million. This makes PS4 sales 635.25K and Xb one 620.13K. giving PS4 a ~15K win for the week, it gives PS4 a big YoY lift, while Xb one sees a slight YoY decrease.
The VGC numbers for the first 2 weeks of November gives PS4 a lead of ~23K, add 15K and that's ~38K for 3 weeks of November. That 3rd week of November for which we have no numbers is not going to be >62K advantage for PS4.
The only elephant in the room is the great VGC PS4 undertrack, it could be that during November VGC has been undertracking PS4 in the USA by 20-30K. If that is the case, then PS4 could be up over 100K ahead in NPD.
Next Friday (my time) can't come soon enough.

Are those numbers even believable because the x1 outsold the ps4 by 19k the launch week of bo3 and the PS4 had the pre-orders from the bundle so it would be expected the ps4 sells more.
