Sure, I can give approximate percentages:

PS4: ~$133 million software sold in May 2016 NPD (~65% marketshare for 8th-gen consoles) (+88% from last May)

XB1: ~$62 million software sold in May 2016 NPD (~30% marketshare for 8th-gen consoles) (+26% from last May)

WIU: ~$11 million software sold in May 2016 NPD (~5% marketshare for 8th-gen consoles) (-38% from last May)

WOW, thank you very much!! 

That software split is just crazy. I would have never imagine PS4 would have had over double the software sales with only a slightly larger install base; Uncharted 4 certainly affected that in a major way, but still very impressive.

And that Wii U marketshare is just pitiful, Nintendo really needs to hit it big with this NX, I mean it's difficult to grasp how bad the situation is until you see the numbers laid out like this.  Such a massive fall from grace, just a few years ago, Wii was phenomenon in US breaking records left and right, and then to.... this. It's jarring. 

Thanks again for numbers Aqua, really appreciate it. 

You have a weird definition of "slightly".
