I fixed Day 4. I'll also provide the XB1S's progression for the yearly.

Yearly
Day 1: Unranked to unranked
Day 2: Unranked to #62

Where did you pull that from?

I found discrepancies between daily posts and Shadow's summaries.

Yesterday (which accounts for sales up to Thursday), the XB1S was still not in the Top 100. Today's update (which accounts for sales up to yesterday), the XB1S hit #62.

Whay ever happen to the gamestop isnider that used to be here? I think his name was bentrigger or soemthing could it be the same ben?

Yeah, BenVTrigger was his name. He just sort of disappeared, stopped posting. Last post was in the November NPD 2014 thread.  

What if BenVTrigger and Benji are the same person? They both have "Ben" in their usernames and BenV rhymes with Benji

Another poster stated that it went up 20 spots, then 7, to land at #10, so I presume those are yearly numbers.

Nah, that was me that said that, the 20+ spots, then 7 was monthly chart, not yearly. 

Yeah, I couldn't type your name accurately from memory lol.

I guess I missed a day in my memory.  Though, you shouldn't leave Day 4 blank.  The PS4 sits at #50, now, on the yearlies, so it went up 4 more spots on Day 4.

I went through every post and couldn't find a contemporaneous reference, so I figured it best to leave it blank than use the current raking of #50.

With trailing averages being what they are, missing that interim ranking is as crucial as it is unfortunate.

I tried, man. I really tried lol.

It was actually #51 on Day 4.  Here's my post for that day.  X was #54 at the time.  So, on Day 5 the PS4 moved up one more spot to #50, while the X moved down a spot to #55.

Thank you; I was bound to miss some posts.

Yeah, sorry that I messed up by one ranking. This is why I hate retracing old posts on this forum.

No problem.  Kinda interesting how the PS4 and X sold out around the same time, yet the PS4 is sticking at #50, so far, and the x is slowing falling.  PS4 must have been just behind the Steam Link, which is #49, while the X must have had some distance between whatever was at #53 at the time.

Doubt it would have set a record, Wii did over 2 million in Nov 2008.

When NPD comes, i want all CEO's to congratulate each other on Twitter because all of them did a fine job this month by selling a shit ton of units.

No matter what happens, this will be a Technical Draw between the 3 for me.

Amazing numbers across the board, the industry is at an all time high and we should enjoy this moment.

To a better 2018 my friends!

Yep, this could be just the 2nd time in history that 3 consoles passed 1 million in Nov.

Only other time was Nov 2010 with DS, Wii & 360.
