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.

PS4 seemed out of stock online? same wasnt true for the Xbox One.
Thats why the prediction tool had the XB1 ahead of the PS4 for the month.
