The PS4 did over a million the first day (but over North America - probably not that many relatively speaking in Canada). So he's averaging the PS4 numbers over the additional days it was available to knock down the total PS4 number lower.
"XboxOne was the fastest selling console in NA last month"
909K is a great number, but that spin!  |
Honestly not sure what the issue is. "Fastest" implies a rate which is going to be a per day type thing. "Most" would be the actual number sold, but the One likely wouldn't win that number given one less week of sales and clearly less NA supply at launch compared to the PS4. So rate makes the most sense for them to use.
In the end the numbers still are completely meaningless as they are supply limited still. I wouldn't be shocked to see end of year numbers in NA to favour the Xbox One as they seem to be consistently trickling them into stores (and amazon) at a steadier rate and greater numbers. Amazon will let you order them but will say "1-2 days for processing" which indicates they are getting regular shipments of consistent numbers so that if they aren't in stock they know it will be. It's consistently been at the #1-4 ranking in amazont he last week and a half. PS4 remains top 100 but is currently being outsold by the 360.
