So how does the software list work exactly? Why is ARMS still listed even though it's been out for almost a week?

Thanks!

If you're talking about the software placement on Amazon, it means it's selling well. It's not just pre ordered if that's what you think. It's just a hot selling game right now.

KH 1.5+2.5 is back at 28. Nice.



Wow, looks like GeOW Bundle will make it into the Top 100, after all. Well, if this keeps up it will, I mean. Still, better showing than last month. Though, it does look like another month where last year the XBO was pretty damn close to the PS4 (the PS4 outsold it by 20K), while this year the gap will be ~100K. Last year the PS4 was at #16 for June, while the XBO was right behind it at #18.



10 hours since last update:

HARDWARE:
#13 PS4 UC4 (up 1)
#25 NS Neon (down 2)
#37 NS Grey (down 7)
#51 PS4 Pro (same)
#89 XB1 Gears (down 4)

SOFTWARE (Pre-orders Only) **:
#07 NS ARMS (down 1)
#10 PS4 Final Fantasy XII (down 1)
#14 NS Mario Odyssey (up 1)
#17 3DS Metroid Samus (down 2)

Does not affect this month: *
Software outside of the month only gets added if it's in the top 20: **

PS4: 1 in the top 100 / 1 in the top 50 / 1 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10 / 0 in the top 5
XB1: 1 in the top 100 / 0 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10 / 0 in the top 5
NIS:  2 in the top 100 / 2 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10 / 0 in the top 5



 

The PS5 Exists. 


7 days left.... Switch hasnt been ahead of the PS4 once all month.
That week (E3) with the Golden Limited editions, there wher 4 PS4 sku's in the top100.

I dont think Switch can take this month, even if it got a good sized shipment of units.
Maybe things will be better in July for the switch.

Well, the Switch hasn't been actually in stock on Amazon proper all month iirc.  So Amazon is a poor indicator for Switch.  Still don't think it will win, the shortages are still very real in brick and mortar stores.

Well my question was just about the post.. in the list it says Pre-orders Only.

SOFTWARE (Pre-orders Only) **:



very impressed with the ps4 performance considering its a 4 year old console.

June is looking to be a no go for Switch at this point to take NPD due to stock issues but I think it will easily take July with Splatoon 2 releasing and if production increases by then. 



Super impressive with ps4 performance lately
