Seems our In Progress NPD prediction tool was off by a bit.

In there was it:
Switch 1.0
XB1 0.5
PS4 0.34


But actual numbers (above by Miyamoto) says:
Switch 1.0
PS4 0.71
XB1 0.58


It got it right that the Switch won the month, but it greatly under predicted the PS4 sales, and seems to have over valued the XB1 numbers.

Im actualy abit surprised by the news, that the PS4 did as well as it did this month.
The online rankings for PS4's wherent great in july on amazon/bestbuy/gamestop ect.

Name me one reason why X1 should've sold more than PS4 that month.

Prime Day sales, 4-5 SKUs available at all times whereas PS4 had 0-1 for most of the month.

Great month for the Switch. Well done Nintendo!
