He claims he uses real data, but how can he when he wasn't even sure ps4 would beat switch last month? yet he's pretty sure switch will win this month.

Based on his posts, it sounds like he works for GameStop and has access to all of its sales numbers. While GameStop holds the plurality of the video game marketshare, it is not necessarily representative of the landscape from Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon. Abdiel has numbers from Best Buy. If his assessment shows similar patterns as Benji's, then it's safe to assume that the trends are similar in other retailers.

I am pretty sure that GameStop is number 1 in the US for software market share but Walmart is number 1 in the US for hardware market share. At least that's how it used to be.
