The Order is now #19, sweet. The box art for that game, like everything else for the game really, is beautiful. I hope reviewers review this like they're supposed to, put all their bias aside.

It could go either way. Either the gaming media remains highly skeptical and still sees the game through the underwhelming lense of most of what we saw in 2014, and...

...this will make them treat the game harshly because they will set a high threshold for the game to impress them

or

...they will have low expectations and their expectations will be exceeded and most will give the game positive reviews

But lack of online multiplayer will be a minus for almost all reviewers, except Yahtzee.

Great for it to break into the top 20.

I'm glad I don't care about reviews or multiplayer.I will enjoy this game in less than two weeks when it finally releases regardless of any review or lack of multiplayer.I like TPS games and this will be the best one in years outside of established franchises.

Evolve up quite a bit. PS4 version at 24, 2 places below The Order (22). XBOne version at 34.

This is just sad that MS paid for the exclusive promotion and bundle for game that won't sell much,but will sell better on the PS4 without a bundle.Why did they bother?

MS doesn't have major exclusives scheduled for quite some time, so if they didn't do some 3rd party promotions then they'd be selling worse than without them.

I wonder how long Xenoblade's gonna hang around in the top 100? All the way til launch? That would be crazy. But then again it has a lot more hype than the original version did, ironically. It gets hype from all the reviews and reception and general buzz about the first (which many who would probably like to play never did because of scarcity and scalpers), plus Shulk's appearance in Smash raised awareness, plus the sequel has gotten a lot of coverage in Nintendo events and by the media following those events. And it is the premier exclusive for the N3DS, the only one right now in fact.

Also. its sales in tandem with the sales of the chargers bode well for the N3DS launch in the west. Something tells me Nintendo is about to do some money printing :P

Let's see here...

PS4 #7
Resistance Burning Skies #14
XBOne #15
The Order #23
Evolve PS4 #27
Second Son #39
Evolve XBOne #40
Wii U #66
PS3 #80
The Order: CE #90
Last of Us PS3 fell off the list.

Any reason for the lack of 3DS/N3DS?

If memory serves, Amazon does not directly deal in Nintendo hardware, resulting in inconsistent pricing and promotion.  Also, more importantly, results in no pre-purchasing via Amazon it would seem.

Still a waste of money that could have went to making their own games which they need to do.The Order and Bloodborne do not even have bundles and if the X1 was selling so great in the US like they said they would not feel the need to do this which is not even helping

PS4 now comes with The Last of Us and Shadow of Mordor

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T6R60GG/ref=s9_acss_bw_hsb_VGJan30_s1_s?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-2&pf_rd_r=0GKX1PHKPA44KNYJ8XKX&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=2036904842&pf_rd_i=468642

Ouch! This is about to get real nasty.

Damn! I have not seen that deal. I have been wanting to grab a second PS4 and if I did not already have both of those games I would be all over that. Great deal. Thanks for pointing it out. I have a couple of friends that have been waiting for a reason to purchase and this deal is probably going to do it for them as they are interested in both of those titles.

Well without a picture in amazon.com a lot of people don't even know the existence of this deal. Sony is doing great deals lately but the communication about these deals sucks.

I have always been a bit confused by the Sony marketing machine. They do not always make decisions I personally understand. Sometimes I feel they succeed despite themselves. This is a deal that should certainly be advertised. Although because of the way Amazon operates (as big as they have become they still struggle with control over accurate listings) their listings I am not sure what to make of the lack of information on this bundle. I would certainly think this is a bundle you would want the word out on. They are obviously much smarter than I so who I am to question. But yet I do. ;)
