Nintendo dominating hard as hell. Looks like Zelda at the top again. Was only down because its not like it can have a 101%+ attach rate ;p

Doing digging it seems the really low prices are scam artists.  The minor price variance, like $20 off seems to be a handful of retailers selling through Amazon taking advantage of those taking advantage of the situation, realizing they can price themselves just a bit lower and sell all their stock.  Nintendo has certainly not cut the price.

This is bad news then. Hopefully it isn't sustained for long because if it is Nintendo could find themselves in the same situation as MS, with people waiting for price drops a bargains.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


I hope for MS sake the, Nintendo has crippling stock issues, Sony doesn't have any price drops this year and scorpio sells like 6M units or something. Cause its not looking good at all.

I STRONGLY doubt that will happen.  Like. REALLY strongly doubt it.  For one, Nintendo isn't promoting a lower price, doing fire sales, etc.  The official price on shelves and in commercials is 299.  Second, it's a fairly small number of units actually being sold for anything under MSRP.  Majority are being sold at or above.  These 150 and 200 deals are, as I said, scam artists with multiple reports of failed delivery and such.  And lastly, all this is tied to these early supply constraints and are likely to only last a brief period and not be at all significant for that period (Amazon is just one portion of the market and the only one where this is going on).  

The Xbox situation was generated by official, MS promoted fire sales and bundles, constantly, on all sites and all stores for a period of over 2 years, almost 3.  Completely different situation in every regard.

would be pretty embarrassing if they weren't dominating

and there are more Sony stuff in the top 20 than Nintendo

Horizon last month #1 and #34. This month #7 and #83. And still at #19 on the hourlies. Doing work!

Also, anyone else impressed with MLB 17's performance? Idt I've ever seen a MLB the show game go this high on the hourlies. I also don't recall one being in the top 100 for as long as 17 has been. 

The Show usually sells really damn well, more than 300k usually, it's just that most hardcore gamers don't talk about it because it's a sports game. I think the series has been gaining steam over these last few years due to ps4's success as well, so it wouldn't surprise me if 17 is doing better on the charts than its predecessors.

Didnt the MLB 16 the show chart like 3 months in a row in NPD top10? Happy to see Horizon still doing so well, Guerrilla really nailed it.

I still think Sony does a 199$ at some point this year and sticks to it.

If scorpio launches at 499$ doubt it ll do 6m this year, that seems crazy high.

Also Unless MS does some good exclusives this year, it doesnt deserve great sales.



XB1 wont sell 6m in the US this year. Maybe 5m.
