Is the ps4 down the first week of 2016 compared to last year?
Either way, good numbers for ps4. Bad numbers everywhere else except vita lol

You don't need to ask you know. That information is just a few mouse clicks away. And the answer is no. PS4 is up pretty decently compared to last year, as you would expect being $50 cheaper.

But is that NA number for PS4 for 9 Jan right? That is crazy high, and pretty unbelievable that PS4 is almost 2:1 over Xb one in NA for a week where there's nothing special going on for PS4. If this is what we're going to see with PS4 and Xb one being at the same price in NA I think we'll be seeing a Xb one price cut some time in Q2.

Well, for some reason Amazon indicates a 2:1 gap for the week. But it certainly can't be said to be accurate.

That's only for the top 100 list. Given Xb one has 10 or more skus available on Amazon it's conceivable that all those combined skus mean PS4 is not running at 2:1 over Xb one. Though the gap, on Amazon, does look like it would be quite substantial. Get a proper Halo and RoTR bundle out there and things should improve a bit. They are pushing shit up hill trying to make their Gears remastered bundle the one to compete against Star Wars and BO3. When it's only Xbox 360 owners buying Xb ones it's hard to convince people to buy a last gen remaster bundle, especially given that game is b/c anyway. PS4 can get away with last gen remaster bundles because there's a whole lot of non-PS3 owners buying PS4. But of course even Sony has dropped the last gen remaster bundles now. MS needs to move on.

Acording to VG Chartz, Xbox One, is down 1.5% from  first week last year, and up 1% from second week last year.

and Playstation 4, is up 33%  from first week last year, and up 40% from Second week last year, so Xbox One, is either flat, or down, and Playstation 4, had a Huge increase in sales.

Yes... but how much will 10 SKU that could be between 100-300 in the rank would count against the top 20? Probably not much. But I was just saying that Amazon shows 2:1 even though it isn't accurate. But for some reason VGC is showing the same.

Indeed, I am skeptical of the 2:1. Given the relative LTD positions of PS4 and Xb one even 1.5:1 would be rather a large gap for a single week where there isn't a big name exclusive new release. Or some other special deal / price cut.

End of timed deals. Happened a similar gap last year.
