It's amazing how it took a 199 ps4 to top xbox one x in the hourlies so far - X seems to be doing really well at 499. i wonder what happens when ps4 goes back to 299? would it fall below x? who knows.

I'd say the X is modest at position 29. Besides, it was always going to do fairly decent in its opening month. How well it holds up over the next year is the better indicator of success. Remember, the Kinect sold great at launch, too.

Yeah I mean Sony is kicking it in early this week with Black Friday Week sale. Anything can happen. PS4 can skyrocket all the way to the top 10 on the yearlies before Friday gets here. It could take the whole week. Stock could run out.  Actual hardcore Black Friday shoppers may jump online only Friday and start pumping numbers for any of the three. This year is definitely the most balanced we have seen the competition since Wii/360/PS3 days.

Dude holy shit calm down You are't married to playstation.

To answer your question : Probably not. There is a sku of Switch at 4 and a sku of Switch at #11. The next sku of PS4 is at 73, below Xbox One s and X

In this day and age I would be truly more shocked if there weren't people officially married to their consoles.

To be fair, now that i'm playing Etrian Odyssey I should probably marry my 3DS

Ps4 plus has that #1 spot on lockdown. It's amazing how they can charge $40 just to play online and people lap it up. So much easy revenue. Just shows you how attractive psn is to the consumers.

#94 is the S not the X.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 position on amazons through different markets.

US - 35 (-2)
Japan - 12 (+4) ; LE - 49(+5)
Canada - 20 (+2)
UK -79 (same)
Germany - 128 (+9)
France - 2 (+3) ; LE - 81(-18)

This game is going to sell like a damn monster in France, though I dont know why it is doing so well in france.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I really rather not pay to play online, but there's no doubt PSN is huge for Sony. I mean it makes more money than all of Nintendo I believe.

Ok, I can see where you are coming from now. I would never have expected the XB1X to become the mainstay though, just as I never expected the Pro to do the same.  

Neither would I, but there is more to this...

The highest ranking XB console in the monthly chart is the XB1X at #20. The nearest XB1s to it is at #40.

If the PS4FE can pass the XB1x in the yearly, then it means its most likely going to sell better than all the XB1 consoles. 

The Xbox One finishing Third for this month would be Catastrophic for the brand IMO

Xbox One highest selling months have been attached to Xbox System Seller Games, this year they have been Down YoY because of the lackluster Line-up, and next year wont be much better than this.

I hope they realize that power doesn't translate to sales, games do.
