How long until they do a monthly update?
What are the chances of PS4 winning the NPD for april?

Current monthly for amazon shows the Switch at #8, and the PS4 at #11.
However the switch seems to be sold out and the PS4 is ahead in the hourlies.

Could the PS4 actually take April?

Highly unlikely PS4 wins.  The Switch was ahead nearly all the time up until like 2 or 3 days ago and has likely slowed in sales purely due to the fact that it's become widely known that a large shipment of fresh stock is coming this Friday and thus it would be foolish to pay $90 over MSRP when you could just wait a few days.

Why are there No Man's Sky pictures below the rankings...?

Something pretty to look at :)

Well, I'm not complaining, but I don't see any kind of connection between those and the updates XP

I follow CAG on twitter. Usually when they announce Switch in stock it is gone with in moments.

The ones at Amazon have been in stock for over 40 minutes.
They are "prime only" so perhaps bots not being able to instantly buy them is helping it stay in stock?

Possibly, or Amazon actually got more than 50. lol

PS4 pro has been in the top 100 for like 2 weeks--most of the time in the 60s or low 70s--yet it STILL hasn't registered in the monthlies. I don't understand...

XBO down to #95 now on the monthlies. Wonder if it'll drop out of the top 100 by the end of the month. Still not anywhere in the hourlies, so certainly possible.

It'll just take a little longer for it to outsell the things that are lower and have been available all month.  Plus, I think the monthlies are behind by a few days.  As for the XBO,  there's a definite possibility it will drop out.  Though, I suspect it will be able to just make it. 

But, yea, a very poor performance for the XBO, and in its strongest region.  Seems they are reaching a saturation point of people who are interested in the system for $249, which isn't good for just a little over 3 years in.  They're going to have to drop the price to $199 if they want to stay relevant, as the PS4 is starting to grow the gap quite quickly, again.  Almost half a million lead just for the first 3 months, and we are just in the slow months.

I know the PS4 pro was out of stock for a while, but its just confusing bc it's been in the 60s-70s for so long. Surprised it hasn't at least registered in the 90's in the monthlies. It's especially odd bc the Pro and that fools PS4 slim showed up on the hourlies around the same time and stayed close to each other. The fools slim registered on the monthlies last week and and still remains there despite it selling out sometime last week (while the Pro has continued to remain in the 60s-70s). 

As for the XBO, just moved from 95 down to 98 within 1-2 days. Looking even more possible it'll drop out of the top 100 for April. XBO definitely not selling too well, tho amazon is definitely the worst for XBO. Seems to be actually selling better than PS4 at GameStop somehow.

Switch sold out again. Amazon is taking pre-orders for prime members only, back in stock Sunday.

I'll bet Switch will jump back up to no.1, unless Mario Kart stumps it.

Well, that prediction didn't take long to come true.

Switch #1, MK8D #2, Zelda #3
