2DS XL popped into the top 40, where did that come from?

A (nerdy) part of me really wants to run some ordinal statistical analysis between NPD and Amazon US data (and maybe even Amazon UK and the weekly GFK chart; and Amazon JP and Japan's Media Create data) to see how predictive Amazon is.

Do you ever bully your nerdy part for lunch money?

Heyy Xbox One X is staying consistently strong (for a 500$ machine) against the likes of its cheaper competitors. this is certainly no small feat. just need to see how many Xbox One X's sold at the end of the year.

Short term the X was always going to sell. The test is January onwards. I expect the Xbox to be outsold by the PS4 comfortably. If it can hit similar sales to the PS4 we can deem the X a success. It will be interesting to see. Right now it's selling as most people expected.

Not sure if amazon is doing this but I just saw on GameStop.com they’re running a special where you buy a Pro, you get a free game. https://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-3-HSPS4ProDec17,28zu0



That $199 PSVR is moving up the ranks quick now. Will it reach #1?

Well I believe most people were expecting it to taper off immediately after launch. So it is interesting to see that there is still healthy demand for it.  Most Christmas shoppers would aim for the cheaper One S for the kids etc.So perhaps with a good deal of word of mouth the One X has garnered a bit of a following.

It sucks that it's only offer is for Fifa or Battlefront 2. I guess I will have to get Battlefront 2 :/

A few people expected it to be DOA with no other reason than they hate Xbox. It's best to ignore these people. Some people expect it to be DOA because of price but I think the general view was that it would have a good holiday in the US. I think Xbox is in for a tough 2018 after the holiday.
