It seems rather sketchy to me that VGC has the Xbox slightly ahead of the PS4...Amazon has had the PS4 in the top ten best sellers all during this week...and the $399 Xbox One barely made it up to #41 before sliding back down below #50 this week!
So, either Gamestop, Best Buy, and Walmart are selling a whole lot more Xbox units than Amazon, or VGC overtracked again. My money is that it's over tracked.
Even if it's NOT...the Xbox One is barely keeping pace with the PS4 in the last few weeks of June...the advantage that VGC themselves showed for the first week of June should assure that the PS4 again comes out on top in NA once NPD numbers are released.
In any case, current numbers are showing a negligible impact in sales due to the price cut/new sku without Kinect....certainly NOT the numbers that MS was looking for.
Will Xbox "survive" with these numbers? Hard to tell...rumors have the shareholders becoming impatient for profits...but there might be enough of a bump for the Xbox team to stave them off for a while longer....HOWEVER, I wouldn't bet money on that being the case if sales continue to flag during the holiday season this year.
