Best-guess estimates are apparently:

[NSW] 195K
[PS4] 185K
[XB1] 102K

And with that I'll have to update my charts. I hate not having exact numbers anymore, but this'll have to do. Hopefully the margins of error for the best predictors aren't too far off. The #1 guy has the Switch beating the PS4 by 10k when the PS4 was the top system in May, so that means the margin of error is at least 2.5 to 3 percent, assuming the PS4's victory was very narrow.

wait, didn't the ps4 win? I'ts late and I'm sick so maybe I'm talking stupid things lol

The "closest" means it was the least units off, of all 3.

Lets say  the real numbers where like:

200k PS4, 190k NSW, and 100k XB1.

That would mean that user guessed 15k wrong on PS4, 5k on Switch, and 2k on the XB1 = 22k off total.

That could still be the "best" / " closest" guess anyone made, even if it did have NSW>PS4, which we know isnt true.
