Read the thread title, December Best Sellers :P

read his cry victim comment, and get over what thread it is.  


Lol irony.

But he's right about this being December Amazon Bestsellers thread. People only want to comment in this thread when PS4 is ahead in the hourly charts. Which only happened for like a day.

People comment when there are interesting things happening. Like when the XBO first got a big boost on Amazon and we had a a 500+ post thread about it. Plenty of people commented there. If there are no major changes then what is there to say? XBO is ahead of PS4. Cool, been that way for a month and a half. 



Exactly. There's more comments when there's alot of activity in the charts. Whether from PS4 or XB1. There's no need to attach an agenda to every little thing. Relax with the confirmation bias. These are just plastic boxes.

The PS4 Destiny bundle is currently back ordered from Amazon. Its only available from 3rd parties at a higher price thorugh the Amazon website.


So buy it from one of the other million places that DO have it.  Bestbuy.com has loads as I'm sure tons of other sites do.



You miss the point! Its at #82 because its not in stock at its normal price. And 3 days later and its still not in stock from Amazon directly. So the ranking is not a good representation of how it is selling over all, since it can be bought cheaper else ware.

Amazon is great for predicting the winner, but not good at predicting the difference. Why would you buy a PS4 at amazon for 399, when you can get it for 329 at Walmart?

Does that mean Walmart is desperate to get rid of the PS4 at a fire sale now that it can't move them at the regular price?  Damn - I bought them at $450 just a month ago.

Nah, they just stopped paying employees.

Well today should be pretty light sales at Amazon since they no longer will guarantee, even with 1 day delivery that X1 or PS4, will arrive until Friday. Yesterday should have been pretty good for PS4 since Amazon was including free 1 day delivery on the PS4, but not the X1.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
