Sales momentum of their new console coming out? Thats the single worst reason you could give.
Look at what "sales momentum" of the PS4pro did to PS4 sales. Right now, all the momentum MS has is on the introduction of the slim and selling off older XB1 stock at really low prices. Once a box for the scorpio is shown, expect the effect it has to completely decimate sales of XB1s in anticipation of said box. It happened with the PS4 and it will happen with the scorpio.
That internal data you mention could also as easily be showing them that they are fucked. Cause winning 4 months out of 12 in the one territory that you have a fighting chance isn't anything to be proud of. Point is, we don't know what that internal data suggests. But we do at least have a years worth of sales and full knowledge of everything that has happened in the market in retrospect to draw our conclusions.
And next year, don't forget the switch is coming out. That thing is going to sell like crazy to the soccer mom crowd wanting to buy the newest best handheld/tablet/console for their kids. . Chances are Nintendo wins every NPD month from March through to December if the Switch is nearly as successful as it could be. Even if it's just on the merit of being a new console.

I hope that we will have 3 consoles fighting for NPD's 1 spot again. That the Switch will be successful in the USA and WW.

That right there is absolutely best case scenario. I would love to see it myself.
