How is the end of a fiscal quarter arbitrary? Its not.

We cant compare exactly 12 months from launch because Sony/Nintendo do not report that way, they report numbers at the end of each fiscal quarter.

You have a fair point.  But on the other hand, the easiest time to declare a console in "the lead" is right after December.  If they are still the fastest selling console in a few months after the Wii and PS4 get an extra holiday season, then that would really be something.  It would be "the lead" in a more permanent sense.

Well we can look at things a few different ways

Launches aligned (4 fiscal quarters)

Wii-13.17m

PS4-13.50m

NSW-14.86m

 

Calender year

Wii 2007-16.94m

PS4 2014-15.40m

NSW 2017-14.86m

 

First full fiscal year (Apr-March)

Wii-18.61m

PS4-14.80m

NSW-15.00m (forcast)

 

Basically they are all right there next to each other and you can look at it different ways to get slightly different results.
