Really an excellent sign to see the Xbox One perform well on Amazon and Target thanks to those additions (more so Target I believe)! Here's hoping that the success and momentum can at least carry onwards towards the end of the week.

PS4 TLoU bundle seems to be on the rise, it's up to #18 now.



CosmicSex on 29 April 2015

Based off of the data that we have currently, it looks like PS4 will win again in the month of April.

Man, this kinda bums me out. If Amazon stops being reliable for predicting the best selling consoles because of something like this.

PS4 is still pretty well ahead of any Xb one sku in the monthly chart http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2015-04/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar#2

not sure when it will next update, but the months is virtually over and my guess is the April monthy chart will show PS4 as the highest ranked console for the month. So they only way Amazon will lose its mojo is if Xb one ends up beating PS4 in NPD.

I'm still picking Xb one to beat PS4 in the May NPD because of the Batman effect (unless Sony does a TLOU+1 bundle during May), so it's good from my prespective that Xb one is heading into May with the highest ranked sku in the hourlies right now. Cross fingers that the TLOU PS4 doesn't overtake the AC bundle. A bit worried about what will happen if the AC bundle is discontinued some time this month. But damn, that sku cannot stick around much longer. I'm sure MS would have stopped shipping it if the MCC bundle had sold better from the start. Has it broken some kind of record as being the longest base sku on the market that includes 3rd party bundle games? It certainly feels like it's broken some kind of record.

Ass Creed bundle up to #12!

And it looks like Amazon finally got sorted with PS4. Seems like TLoU bundle is the default going forward, up to 26 now. Hopefully it will keep rising and be above X1 again soon

How long did it took for Amazon to realize this? XD


Your sig makes me look like such a weirdo when ppl walk into my office at work

Yes it did, it most likely is the most overshiped bundle ever. Suposed to be a 2 month limited offer and lasted for 7. MS just had to inflate thouse shiped numbers to derail all the doom talk.

I can see that clearly, but doesn't that carry a notable risk for the next quarter? The channel will be stuffed to breaking looking at the sales of X1 the past few months. If anything, the 1.6M combined shipped (~1.2M X1?) they announced will more than offset any sales during that same time period, so that huge overshipment previous will still have the channels stuffed to the gills. So next quarter announcment for MS may be even worse.
