The days of play PS4 Pro has really pushed the sales a lot, but probably will go down fast again as it's selling out already.

Switch sales have recovered a bit with the Pokémon announcement, but nothing to write home about just yet.



Great job @Symbios63, May NPD results should help show how much (if any) of an influence Gamestop's PS4 bias has on the data from the tool and if there is any need to further tweak your weightings. I really do think the 'scary' accuracy of last month's results would be tested by this month's NPD.



Days of play holding well pokemon Go effect in terms of hardware sales difference.

Why is the Days of Play model being used for the May predictions? It doesn't launch until June 8th. May NPD ends tomorrow.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Final day for May NPD with final graph.
PS4 points from Days of Play Edition were removed (they will be added back at release day).



Great work as ever Symbiosis.

Last day of the month also being the only day PS4 ain't leading, though that's mostly due to the Days of play PS4 Pro stealing sales for the next month.
