Don't think online sales for the week before Christmas will be as representative as the first three weeks due to the need to ensure gifts are under the tree. Brick and mortar will dominate this period. Think X1 sales will be surprising if you base your estimates only on Amazon.

Indeed, in fact i think i saw the very same argument a few times before and totally agree with it. At this late stage (and postal services struggling), i've ordered more from places like Argos (where you go and pick it up after reserving it) than amazon. Just because its safer.

I'm going by what I've seen in this thread and Nov. You've been a little argumentative. Just go and reread your posts.

That the mood in the threads used to be generally friendly and although the majority of posters were PS fans, there were a few Xbox fans and Nintendo fans that came in that were quite gracious and no comments were taken in the wrong way and there was friendly banter.

Now I see PS and Nintendo fans acting like idiots. The complex of the thread has changed. I've noticed it more because I've had a break from VGC and the change from months ago is night and day.

Im known to be too aggressive i agree. I have mellowed out for the most part all year but i do have a bad problem when it comes to people posting stupid things (this doesnt mean gribble btw).

Your second post i completely agree with. Its all sides for sure. I personally pick out the bad sony comments i admit but i dont downplay any success. I want nintendo to win but im happy with the success every1 is getting. Again apologize if im being too agrressive but ill try my best to tone it down

I've seen you about for years. From what I can remember your a good poster for the majority of time and pretty passionate about your opinions.

I wouldn't base estimates only on Amazon, though it does give us an idea of the amount of demand of one product vs another. It appears that the $249 Star Wars bundle is more desirable than the $199 Forza bundle. If these two deals are to continue until the end of December, the PS4 would sell more. However, the PS4 deal ends earlier than the XB1 deal.

PS4 Pro has already surpassed both X skus for the year on Amazon. It's at #62. So much for fanboys claiming the X outsold the Pro for the year based on Amazon chart and preorders lol. Idiots.

Sidenote. This site is trash. All these idiotic trolls, but I keep getting banned? I won't post here again after this. Sucky site lol.

Yup. PS4 will win December too. Just came from the store and there was only one PS4 and it was a standard Pro. There were tons of Xboxes though and a bunch of Switches. PS4 is #3 on Amazon anyway. Sony dominance continues.
