He's quoting the chart for cumulative sales throughout November.
How on Earth do you draw that conclusion? Sales positions do not give any indication of unit sales. It could be 1.1x or 60x.
Anyone hoping for landslide victories for either side this November (December as well), are setting themselves up for heartache. There will be a NPD leader of course, but not in the fashion of a slaughter.

PS4 might have been boosted today by this I saw on GAF
Didn't go over great but could have been a small boost from normal sales. Could have helped it stay at #7 today instead of continuing to decline after the scam effects boost.

PS4 sales are up 75% based on Amazon Mover and Shaker's list:

Edit:
Not exactly sure what one can infer from this but PS4 appears to be gaining some momentum. Again perhaps due to new releases Far Cry, DA:I and GTA V.
I believe Walmart is offering a $50 gift card with the purchase of a PS4 as well.

Sure. But both 1.1x and 60x are extremely unlikely.
XBO at the time had positions 7, 25, 46, 55, and 59 while PS4 had position 15.
7 going to have more than 15 obviously. 25, 46, 55, and 59th positions in total are highly unlikely to come out to be only a small fraction of position 15..
It is unlikely but certainly possible that 7, 25, 46, 55, and 59 are only 1.5x as much as 15th. I just went with it most likely being 2x-3x as much. Not absolutely obviously. "Most likely" doesn't mean it can't be less than 2x or more than 3x. I'm just stating that my guess is that 2x-3x is the hump in the probability curve. Other's are free to disagree, of course, and that's perfectly fine.
I wonder how often the monthly rankings get updated as the positions remain the same. Granted 1 day of sales is unlikely to move the chart much at this point.
I do find some things interesting. Titanfall (20 USD digital code, physical package is at 35) is the 2nd most sold video game product for November. Looks like the holidays are giving Titanfall another sales push (all those new XBO owners, I guess). Halo: MCC is 5th and Super Smash Bros. for the WiiU is 6th. In 7th is the XBO: AC bundle which is outselling all other games for the month of Nov. on Amazon.
Interesting thing number 2. Of the top 5 video game items, 3 of them are Playstation Store gift cards. Those are likely to be quite popular items for holiday gift giving. And should lead to a huge influx of digital sales (WOOOOOT) over the holiday on PS4. By comparison the first XBO gift card is all the way down in 22nd following another PS4 gift card (100 USD!!!) at 21.
That's extremely good news for Sony as it means their digital market, at least going by Amazon is likely to be healthier than the XBO digital market. Although technically Titanfall at #2 is just a gift card.

Just for S's and J's. The hourly chart at this moment.
08 - PS4 (down)
14 - XBO: AC bundle (down)
60 - PS4: Destiny bundle (down)
65 - XBO: AC bundle (down)
66 - XBO: COD bundle (down)
Meh, seems to be mostly a wash. You could make an argument for PS4 being ahead and you can make an argument for XBO being ahead. I'm not going to bother trying to call this one. And hourly rankings don't really tell us much other than what is popular that hour.
And just because I'm bored before I head to sleep. The hourly "Movers & Shakers" has the only consoles belonging to...Nintendo. With the Wii (not the WiiU) at number 88.
Ok, maybe not so much () since it's just a ranking of how much its position has changed relative to before. So the Wii moved up from rank 489 to rank 389.

I've noticed across the major Amazon territories (sites) that PS4 GTA V is kicking ass, and actually taken the number one spot for the year in certain countries.
I think I may have confused a category…
Anyhow, PS4 GTA V rankings...

Whoops, had totally forgotten there was a PC version as I no longer buy EA games.

To add.
08 - PS4
12 - XBO: AC
53 - PS4: Destiny
56 - XBO: AC
62 - XBO: COD
So everything moves up a few positions except the base PS4.
Basically shows how hourly charts aren't terribly useful other than to see what people are buying in that particular hour.
Daily or weekly charts would be far more useful in gauging trends.

You can track the positions over months with CamelCamelCamel. The PS4 is basically a flat line for nearly a year. Also, stuff > #20 is getting into low numbers, twice the position is definitely not half as many sales.
missed one, but I'ld say xbox 2:1 over ps4
though at the moment I'ld say the ps4 is outselling the xbone so it should close up during the rest of the month, I'm still picking a xbone victory for NPD novemeber
EDIT: forum bug I wrote the above post 2or3 days ago & posted it & it didnt show up, now I log on and here it is at the bottom of the page in the editbox
