No numbers, I have no idea where that came from. Those numbers might make sense as a weekly average, but then the PS4-XB1 gap seems too big for the such small difference in revenue.

The S sells for cheaper than the PS4 slim though, it balances out somewhat.

Apologies for the bump but I'll add that the decent estimate we have for this month was:

Switch 268k
PS4 257k
XB1 241k

Close month

Why is the Xbox selling that high?

Well this was a spillover from the X launch holiday season I guess. The latest numbers have it slipping quite far behind PS4 and Switch, as would be expected.
