NPD says PS4 was best-selling console in May but we're all going to die someday so what does it matter

"As we head into E3, we would like to thank gamers for making PS4 the top-selling console and the leader in software sales in the U.S. in May," a Sony spokesperson said in a statement provided to GamesBeat. "We are truly humbled by this success and we look forward to sharing what's next for PS4 at our E3 press conference on June 15."
The PlayStation 4 has outsold the Xbox One every month this year except for April. That has helped Sony's hardware build a substantial lead over Microsoft.

PS4 takes May despite not being able to count Batman bundles.Amazon isn't making the Batman bundles look very big. Destiny bundles stayed close to the top for months but Batman is no where to be seen. I don't think it will have affected sales by too much
Amazon is right, again.Never bet against amazon!
Amazon isn't making the Batman bundles look very big. Destiny bundles stayed close to the top for months but Batman is no where to be seen. I don't think it will have affected sales by too muchOne thing you may not be considering is the limited edition bundle which shot up the charts and sold out two or three times very quickly before it stayed gone. I'm guessing there are more than a few people who are holding out until the last minute to see if it becomes available again before taking the plunge on the normal bundle. I also don't expect Batman to have the same impact that Destiny did. Destiny was hyped to high heaven, was highly anticipated just for being made by the guys that did Halo, had its bundle announced at E3, and released at a time when games sales start picking up. Even if the normal Batman bundle is only selling 20 to 30k more PS4s a month, that's 20 to 30k that aren't being counted in April and May. That normal bundle alone would have been the difference between winning April and losing it, which they did. Again, that's not even considering how many the limited edition may have sold in April.

I don't think it will have too huge of an impact. It definitely caused PS4 sales to drop in April and maybe a bit in May but I still don't think it will be very much. Maybe 20 to 30k is about right.

Wouldn't surprise me if PS4 has a 300k+ month.
