I've got no idea at the moment. All I'll say is PS4 up YoY and a 100k+ gap.

PS4 could not manage a 100k + gap in march
no way it will happen in april, lol

It'll probably be 70k - 80k but I'm doing this just for fun.

Yeah March threw me for a loop.
I "predicted" like 80k above where the PS4 ended up, and like 20k above where the xbox one ended.

Im not really sure where April ends up.

The kinda obvious predictions are:
R&C > QB.
PS4 > XB1.

(ps4 has been #15-20 on amazon, vs XB1 around #60-90)

I think PS4 > XB1+WiiU.

Serious prediction but ultimately completely wrong as usual:

[PS4] 215,000
[XB1] 145,000
[3DS] 112,000
[WIU] 52,000
[PSV] 8k

If they're right then I'll have to thank my ass. This isn't my final form! I'll be keeping my eye on the big XB1 deals.

The PS5 Exists.

but mortal kombat is bigger than dark souls, quantum break and rachet combined
the new pricepoint will be the reason, why console hardware is up YoY

[PS4] 215,000
[XB1] 205,00
[3DS] 78,000
[WIU] 43,000
[PSV] 3k

"Buy an Xbox One, and get a FREE Xbox One, A 50'' Samsung LCD TV, a $50 gift card, and 4 free games." It seems these deals from Microsoft are almost never ending. PS4 may lose April NPD, but it will be because of another massive sale. They sure are trying.

MK may be more popular but there are more games launching this month than it was last year at this time that might entice more people. Also i agree that the lower price point will make console yoy.
