Wow, I thought the free games were only the three games listed down in SKUs not the full library including unreleased Fifa 17. Now that is some aggressive move from M$ though

PS4Pro and COD will give Sony the win this holiday unless they have shortages like in 2013.

The difference in profits between ps4 and xbox console sales must be crazy.  Microsoft go to ridiculous lengths to boost their sales. 

Who cares about profits? Lol.

Human beings care.

MS never really did. They lost 5 to 7 billion on the first Xbox according to Robbie Bach, they just shrugged it off and made another. They're pretty determined to open that warchest and strongarm their way in the market.

Well according to the monthly the xbox one s is only 10 places behind the cod bundle so its hardly cut and dry. Could jump ahead if they maintain the hourlies for the month.

True, but considering how much better Amazon's Xbox deal is than any retailer outside of Target, Amazon and Target are now the outliers, and may end up being heavily skewed. In all honesty, it's made the month practically impossible to guess at, as the Amazon and Target deals could either be selling relatively small or relatively great numbers in compared to other retailers. There's just no real way to know until the NPD releases. 

Oh I'm with you I think it's too close to call. But some have been saying it's ridiculous to say xbox will win this month because Amazon is never wrong, but if anything Amazon is skewed towards PlayStation cos it's the only outlet selling the ps4 for 279.

Whoa! MS looks grasp at any straw.

PS4 Pro (when Xbox has no answear for a year or more)

Playstation VR + VR games + VR movies (when Xbox has no answear)

Call of Duty bundle

Final Fantasy XV (which probably sells 10 times more on playstation)

 

These are not easy things to overcome for the Xbox. How exactly did sony get lazy?

If this is lazy sony,... what does the active one look like?

And here's the update to the Week 4 rankings:

PS4 CoD bundle: #20 (↑1)
PS4 Pro: #34* (↓2)
PS4 Slim Uncharted 4 bundle: #40 (↓5)
XBO S 500GB Halo bundle: #44 (↑1)
PS4 Uncharted 4 LE bundle: #53 (↓1)
XBO S 1TB Madden bundle: #65 (↓5)
XBO S 2TB: #86 (↑8)
New 3DS XL (Galaxy): #93 (↓18)

Well, that new Pokemon 3DS dropped like a rock this week. Also, for some reason "Disney Sing It" for the PS2 is at #22 in the weeklies. Why an 8-year-old party game for the PS2 sold that damn much is beyond me.

Well i think that shows how small sales can put you into the charts, its always the problem with amazon, the numbers to get into the top 50 isnt that great.
