Now with confirmation of the X1 being extremely overtracked in the US, does anyone else feel that the same could, to a lesser extent, be the case in the UK? Vgchartz has the X1 at the top since the beginning of April, I personally believe though that for the last 2 weeks the PS4 has been back on top, I arrive at that conclusion through a mixture of weekly GfK charts, Amazon rankings and intuition. :D

Not just Uk ( we'll know that in one year, when the official institute will give the real sales, there will be a big surprise after VGC put X1 at top all the year... ), but the whole world except Japan and US, they can trick the numbers as they want, there is absolutely no way to know how many X1 have been sold, since MS only give shipped numbers.

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

PS4 outsold the Wii+WiiU+3DS combined.

Very obvious that one, hope he elaborates.

3DS is below 115k, WiiU probably at 40k, Wii at 20k, is waaaay below 200k.

Look at that, first year of its life and the PS4 is already doing what I think it'll achieve lifetime, well in the US at least. :D

Yes, that "information" is something we've all already known. Elaboration would be nice. Although we can most likely count the Wii out of the larger equation seeing as how dead it is.

Terrible. It seems VGC doesn't favor any sort of thing when over-tracking.

Is not terrible when you think they got released on May 2th and NPD tracked until May 3rd

I think for this month Microsoft should have quoted VGChartz since it is a lot better figure for them.
