I wonder if any of you are following The Ninth Life and what he's been up to (NPD & E3 threads.)

It's absolutely trippy.

If you're a junior, keep your head down. It's not that hard. Although some of the stuff in the will MS announce oculus VR for the xbone is pretty good also. On mobile, can't link

Well it's a fairly simple calculation.

All you got to do is work out the difference between 47 and 32 which is 15, then work out the difference between 25 and 32 which is 7. Then you do 15 x 7 which is 105.

Then you got to work out the average between between 32 and 47 which is 39.5, lets call it 40, and add it to 105. So we can quite clearly see that the Xbox One should sell 145k.

Now we do the same for PS4. We got 25, then times it by 7 (difference of 32 and 25) and you get 175k.

So, it's quite clear that the PS4 will sell 175k and the Xbox One will sell 145K.

Did I mention I have a degree in Math?

I see where your error was now, you should have counted just the numbers between 25 and 32, not the actual difference between them. Bit of a schoolboy error, but we can let it slide. Apart from that, good solid maths. A+++ 11/10 would use for future predictions again.

145k was close haha
 
Anybody else find it a little, strange, that the recent Amazon monthly update has Xbox One ahead of PS4?

I suppose XBox One was increasing more than the PS4 was, despite PS4 being higher in the actual hourly chart, this makes sense in most cases with how Amazon works, but a bit confusing for June.

Not particularly. Vitatv being within striking distance in the monthly is tho.

Donny had a post about basketball scores that I could not decode. :/

I think it implied 91k. I'm probably wrong however.

It wasn't a hint. Figure 3DS is somewhere around there, so trying to see if anyone who knew had a *preference* for one of those NBA Finals scores. You know, just because they liked the score for some reason ...

Normally I'd wait longer for all the numbers, but I'm going to be offline for a while and need to get this out. Therefore, no numbers next to the rankings for this month. (-_-)

Since not all the results are public, no numerical results are shown here. Also, rankings are just a counter, so if two people are tied, it isn't shown here.

Once the numbers are all public, will this be updated when you get back?

It'd probably change around some of the orderings so probably not. (Everybody had really small diffs compared to actuals, so minor changes would probably shift a lot of people.) If everything's public, can then add that to the next month's OP, though!

Congratulations MasterSheen and panda-zebra. And as always thank you donny for doing this.

EDIT: Almost forgot. Thank you too Welfare for that last minute warning! I would have put XB1 above PS4 if it weren't for you.
