Prime deals are great tbh. You can get a switch + 20$ eshop + 64gb msd for 379$ while it launched at 400$ (Canada)

Thanks for providing a source. Just a note Mar1217, if you wish to say it's beating FW sales then you shouldn't be using the word 'already'. Just say that it was double the first week sales of Bravely Default or sold more than BD's first week. The 'already' threw me off because it sounded like you were saying it 'already' surpassed BD's total sales.

He also said "surpassing", not "surpassed".

Curious, if we are in a race and I am surpassing you, where do you think I am relative to your position? Maybe my understanding of the gerund form of the verb is off.

It would mean you are ahead at moment but that the race was still ongoing.

Is this just because of Amazon Prime day?

So ... what happened to the charts it's completly different from 2 days ago.

Prime Day.  Unless you mean the layout, in which case Amazon just changed their look again.



So apparently the reason the PS4 and PS4 Pro were top 10 on Amazon JP is because there was a good bundle with Detroit. Weird though that the bundle didn't actually show up for me until after the deal was over.



Based on a short analysis I did on the Switch's sales performance across Amazon, I suspect that Switch scarcity might be returning to continental europe. I first found it odd that despite Amazon Prime sales, the switch was not showing up in the high positions (despite being the highest placed across most sites over the past months), then I noticed that almost across all Amazon sites asides from the UK, the SKU sale price is anything from 10 to 40 euros above the RRP for the basic console SKU. The I noticed than in France (where it is worst), the SKUs are currently being fulfilled by 3rd parties at significantly higher prices to the RRP (up to 40 euros above RRP).

It does appear this is less the case in the UK where it seems to be at par with the XBone and the PS4, the other 2 have 2 SKUs in the Amazon top 100 while the Switch has 4 albeit at lesser positions to the other two. It also has so many bundles that are outside the top 100, some of them in the low 100s. 



PS4 Games coming back in force ?

I'm kinda surprised the Amazon Prime Day effect still last this long.

So am I! The switch is holding that #3 and #8 spots like a lock
