Well, we have our answer. PS4 pro complete shortages online vs availibility in brick and mortar stores made the tool wrong for the month.

I am still pleased to see we were able to properly predict the turnaround between NS and PS4 and the ratio NS / XBO was alright. 

I will do all the summaries when I am back from holydays ;)

Dont be hard on yourself matey, you have done a great job with this tool and provided a lot of insight into sales. All this month's result has shown is the disparity between B&M sales and online sales.

The PS4 is a lot stronger in stores than it is online.

By the way, the tool still correctly predicted the winner and you may use this month's result to further tweak the tool but I would advise you be careful doing this. I wasnt really a fan of the changes to the XBox calculations.
