He is estimating that Microsoft sold 325,000 new Xbox Ones at U.S. retailers last month while Sony sold 250,000 PS4s.

For 250,000 sales in one month, that works out to ~8,333 sold / day. Making the assumption that both the PS4 and the Xbox One sold on par with each other for all but those seven days, that means that about ~19,047 Xbox Ones were sold per day during the promotion. Do those sorts of promotions usually result in >100% increase in sales?

Yeah, NPD numbers are released/leaking out today and he's not really close. Sounds like the PS4 did something like 550,000 - 600,000 for the month. Not sure about Xbone numbers but leaks will continue I'm sure.
