Forums - Sales Discussion - Amazon U.S. April bestsellers and general Amazon-based discussion

Oh, according to the NPD predictions thread over at gaf, the total sales gap in the U.S. is now over 2M. February gap was 170K i think. Maybe even 200K.

Sony is in a really comfortable position with the PS4. By the time Scorpio releases PS4 should have a price drop along with multiple 3rd party bundles. It's going to be very interesting to see how Microsoft sells the Scorpio this holiday with so much going against it. Price and games matter, not power.

I believe we are entering 7gen situation where Xbox was the most powerful but PS2 had the most games people wanted to play and cheaper price. The Gamecube was just there surviving on first party games. I think a similar thing is about to happen with PS4, XB1, and Switch.

Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Gotta give it to Nintendo, the Switch is doing amazing. Still doubt it will be able to hold on for years though once the releases start slowing down. Future pricing will also be important, if Nintendo sticks to $300 while PS4 and XB1 go to $200 then jeez. Especially with all the marketing deals.

I think we'll have to wait til May/June to see where the Switch starts to level off at. By then, Nintendo should have enough units out for the initial demand to be met and should be staying on shelves.  I agree about the price.  $300 for the Switch, when the PS4 Pro may be the same price later this year, is too much to ask from the general market.  They had better not try to pull off a Wii U and only drop the unit by $50 for the rest of its lifetime.  For the masses to really jump in, it's going to have to hit $199.

@ OP

About a week to go and Yooka Laylee isn't even in the Top 100.  Wonder if the appeal is that small or if the controversy with Jon Tron and them banning people asking for refunds has affected sales.  Looking at R&C sales, though, I would think there's a market for 3D platforms still.

Very nice to see the Switch holding so well! The test starts now.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
