Legend does this make mathematical sense?

So PS4 187k and XB1 131k


That is really bad for PS4

[Xevross]

The holiday could be very close in America judging by this. Also, PS4 must be killing Europe if its doing bad in America

How is that bad? Lower than we hoped, sure, but not bad.

It sort of is, why would it drop so much?  Or rather, why would last month be so high if these numbers are right?

Last month was a 5 week month. Adjusted for 4 weeks it was 215k. Vs. July at 187k, not a big discrepancy there. Now, July is most of the time lower than June I believe.

June was also higher on average thanks to Watch Dogs. The PS4 didn't have anything else working for it in July. The Last of Us didn't drop until the end of the month. April through August is never a time to concern yourself because they are typically low months for sales and the PS4 is actually doing fine for Year One sales in the slowest months of the year. It's also competing against a now $400 X1. If you're judging the holiday by this you're being silly.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think you guys are missing a very important fact. The Destiny bundle which has been outselling the X1 itself on Amazon. Clearly it's going to take away some PS4 sales until September. Also, outselling the X1 by 56k is pretty much what it did in March even with all the Titanfall hype. This isn't even the smallest margin. That belongs to February. As far as PS4 sales being 'bad' let me remind you that roughly this same time last year people were talking about how bad the Wii U was doing. It did 160,000 GLOBALLY across April, May, and June. Three months combined across the world. 160,000 sold. The PS4's lowest month just in the US so far is 187,000 with a highly popular bundle not being counted yet.

Lol funny that people are calling Sony's PR battleship due to the NPD results

I think you are missing a very important fact. The WiiU is more doomed than the Gamecube! Other than that I agree

On the bright side it is less doomed than Vita
