The NES at $173 easily outsells a $250 PS4. The Nintendo brand really is much stronger than the PS brand it seems.

That sound you just heard was my palm smacking against my head. Yes, it traveled all the way across the Atlantic, then across Portugal, Spain and Italy :)

Ah no. It's just Amazon and it's not outselling the PS4. Nintendo has not even released numbers as they only ship limited units as it was only in stock at retail stores when it launched. You are always spouting some mon sense in this thread from what I seen. PS4 will continue to dominate even when Switch releases. Those are just facts. PSN waz more profitable than the whole of Nintendo last year so let's keep the discussion strictly on Amazon.

Sorry again for the lack of an update yesterday. I had to close last night and I went to bed shortly after I got home. Today's update covers two days worth of rank changes.

Here's the update to the rankings for February:

NES Classic Edition: #4 (↑11)
PS4 Slim Uncharted 4 bundle: #14 (—)
XBO S 500GB Battlefield 1 bundle: #73 (↓3)
PS4 Pro: #80 (↓11)
XBO S 500GB Minecraft bundle: #87 (↑5)
PS4 Slim CoD:IW bundle: #88 (↓3)


And here's the initial rankings for Week 8:

NES Classic Edition: #2 (↑17)
PS4 Slim Uncharted 4 bundle: #10 (↑4)
PS4 Slim CoD:IW bundle: #49 (↓19)
XBO S 500GB Minecraft bundle: #68 (↑32)
XBO S 2TB Gears 4 SE bundle: #86 (re-entry)


Holy shit at the NES Classic. Did Amazon get some of the $60 stock in yesterday?

Yeah, that's why it shot up to number one there for a while.

No, it had more revenue. Nintendo made more profit than the whole of Sony last year, as usual. 

Gross profit is far more important for any company than revenue. I work for a big international company in a sales department, I think I know what they'd rather have. All our targets are set at gross profits, not total revenue.

Both versions sold out on amazon. God damn. Zelda will be a 10mil seller! :o



Wow, seems Zelda hype is really riding high on the preview positivity. Hopefully Nintendo can also increase Zelda stock quickly.
