X1 AC was all alone at #1 all day yesterday at Amazon until the PS4 bundles went on sale last night. The X1 AC Kinect also sold out yesterday during that time. Still I dont even know if Amazon is the best gauge right now since it had the worst X1 price for the BF weekend. It was just the $329/$429 prices while all the other retailers through in extra gift cards, games, controllers.


X1 bundle wasn't up all day yesterday. It was up for a few hours before the ps4 went up. i checked it every hour. 

The top 100 the last few hours has been PS4 #1 X1 #2 PS4 #15 and PS4 #77 

That's it. SO it's safe to say PS4 is killing it today and if that's not enough then just look at gamestop. 

http://www.gamestop.com/browse

PS4 #1 PS4 #4 

And Xbox has dropped from like #11 a few hours ago to #13. I believe they hold hte biggest market share for consoles in the US so PS4 if that chart is true is killing it there too. 

Target is the only place I've heard of really fast X1 sales but they had by far the best deal. The end result even in target could be X1 selling out really fast, but PS4 has a slightly bigger shipement but it also sells out just over a longer period. November will be so interesting. Best battle in years. 

When I woke up at 7AM CST yesterday the X1 $329 price was already available at Amazon, BestBuy.com and Microsoft.Com.   Gamestop is an also ran for consoles nothing compared to BestBuy, Target, Walmart especially  BF.

But it wasn't #1. It was like number #5. It only went #1 a few hours before the PS4 did. 


So what? These are only relative positions. #1 one hour may sell less then #20 another hour.  



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Around the Network

Yeah may be but highly unlikely. So so what back at ya. 

I highly doubt that their #5 the day before BF was more than say #1 on BF. PS4 has been #1 for around 36 hours now. And the only X1 SKU in the top 100 has been the AC bundle and it's dropped to #3 for a while now. Comprehensive online victory for the PS4 if Amazon, Gamestop among others are anything to go by. 



The X1 pretty much deserves to win this year's Black Friday!

I hope PS4 give a chance for Xbox one to win NPD on November, it will be to sadistic if PS4 win November as well.

360 won over 30 consecutive NPDs. How is it sadistic for the PS4 to have its 11th?

If anything it would be mean for the X1 to break its streak.

Well if Xbox doesn't win after they sacrifice with discount and bundled and crazy advertising, and loose US, Europe and the world , Yes i called that brutality

All i have to say is March NPD.....anything could happen. But if Sony wins the meltdowns will be historic

Not just Black Friday but the entire month. They played it well.

Now all they need is to carry over the momentum and dominate the US and UK and bring balance to the console world. ^^

Based on anectodes, it certainly seems like XBone is gonna win BF and, ultimately, Nov's NPD rather easily.


Which again, is akin to being down 40 points in a basketball game and scoring 10 unanswered. lol

But in that case it wouldn't be PS4's fault.

Exactly! I'm hopeful that MS will manage to do that!
