I get your point. I believe it is opening the door for misinformation to spread but it didn't happen that much for now.
They came after the results of last year and the first quarter. We had a post by the admin team here on ERA in April :
January was down.
Don't forget though that Xbox One S was $199 the whole month of December and only outsold PS4 by 100k at $299. It struggled by even at 3rd it struggled less.
oh, i remenber that, the only thin that puzzles me is bruno saying
either i misunderstood or i missed something, because i never thought that sony was the one that urged npd to do a herod (merry christmas). i remember that in ps3 years, sony tried to shut up leakers, but that makes sense as it was kind of damage control.
out of curiosity: do you know the best rank the aggregate ever had in an npd month?
Yeah it has the same fine print as the US Black Friday Bundle. So it's the old model again. Wonder why they have so many left or if the keep making them for those bundels.
European bundles are with the new Switch so I assume it is leftovers.
Nintendo always gives the U.S. the short end of the stick, like they did with the Link's Awakening limited edition (still bitter)

Cyber Monday is a very big week, probably over half of BF week (for Switch). I think it's more likely Switch was on the higher end of your BF 2018 range. Say 700k BF week then 400k cyber monday, that would put the first two weeks of Nov 2018 much below the weekly average of this year.
Thanks for calculating the ranges!
Honestly, IMO everything's going according to the popularity levels of each console.
Donny what does the score used in the overall ranking represent ?
Well, back when we got public numbers, the points would be shown, and for the Top 10, they would typically be 90s-120s for the month. The annual points is the sum of the top 9 of 11 of those monthly point totals per user. Therefore for December for Kaveri to pass you (for example), he'd have to at least have 16 more points on the monthly list than you, if the lowest months being thrown out didn't change. (The point system itself is a way to normalize the months making November totals worth as much as April totals. Otherwise, only Nov/Dec would matter to the year, if only unit differences were used.) The point in showing the Top 5 going into the final month is to show how close or far apart all are to have an idea of how well people need to do to try to move up to the top spot. (^_^)
