How it works is that GAF opens an NPD prediction thread and people guess how many units each platform sold that month. A few weeks later, the OP will release the rankings based on how close people's predictions are to the real thing. This was how we got a general idea of how much the PS4 and XB1 sold in February NPD.

The closest prediction to the actual numbers.

but how do they know who wins when we dont get actual numbers?

Either the OP has access or knows someone who has access to the actual numbers, I don't know which one. However, NPD is extremely anal about numbers being leaked, but ranking people's predictions is okay since that doesn't count as a leak.

Did they do that yet for this month?

Not yet. If February NPD is any indication, the prediction rankings will be up by the end of this month.
