...any analysis, particularly one aimed to be critical about any console, immediately loses all credibility in my eyes when the person reporting it can't do basic math.
Five weeks is 35 days. How is this a confusing concept.
If you drop the To May 6 week numbers, you get
May 7 - June 3 (28 days): 891,703
June 4 - July 1 (28 days): 899,736
It's actually selling better. Check your numbers before you make claims like this again.
EDIT: I'll even do you one better by re-calculating the breakdown.
