Alright. So it means the gap in the US isn't nearly as big, and vgchartz is way overestimating it.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

The Xbox one really can't catch a break. Sigh*

PS4 probably down YoY, unlike previous months no mention of YoY growth in Sony's statement.
