Ok, weird quote here:

“Sony’s PlayStation 4, Microsoft’s Xbox One and Nintendo Switch all achieved all-time unit sales highs for a May month,” said Piscatella. “Previous highs were May 2016 for PlayStation 4, May 2015 for Xbox One, and May 2017 for Switch.”

This is from the official NPD report. Now the "official" NPD leak number for May 2017 was ~195k oor just under 200k. So is this indicating the Switch leak numbers this May are THAT far off?

No May 2017 was 165k

Ok, what on earth is going on?  I distinctpy remember that May had PS4 just over 200k and switch just under at 195k.  https://www.neogaf.com/threads/june-2017-npd-u-s-hardware-predictions-closes-tuesday-july-11th.1400194/

That was the number posted to the NPD predictions thread.  Did something happen?  Were these numbers corrected after I left that thread?  And why can't I FIND any of the old NPD threads on this forum to confirm?
