LOL.
While I doubt that it's intentional, history has shown us that for 2014, VGC numbers have gone from bad to terrible in terms of accuracy.
What we know for a list of facts :
Amazon has predicted the winner of PS4 v XBO every month this year with ease, even with relative accuracy by extrapolating from their best-sellers lists.
NPD has shown VGC to be off EVERY_SINGLE_MONTH, sometimes by triple-digit percentages.
VGC has CONSISTENTLY OVERTRACKED THE HOLY HEL OUT OF XB1.
----
With that taken into consideration, and looking at Amazon data :
(1)- PSN $20 Card
(2)- PSN $10 Card
(3)- PSN $50 Card
(4)- MK8 for U
(5)- PS Headset
(6)- GTAV 360
(7)- XBLG $10 Card
(8)- PS4 Bare Console
(9)- XBLG 3mo Card
(10)- X360 Controller
---
(47)- $399 Xbox One
(58)- PS4 Destiny Bundle Preorder
(63)- WiiU 32GB Mario/Luigi Bundle
(65)- Xbox 360 S
The Xbox One Kinect bundles aren't even in the top 100 any more. Poof. The 360 is outselling XB w/Kinect.
As for 360 players moving to PS4, they're already doing that en masse. Higher than normal sales of TLOU:HD will prove that (due to people not having played the game in the first place). Double-dippers are the more hardcore crazy people, and there really aren't that many of them. I could see a decent number of former PS3 players rebuying TLOU:HD if there were a good trade-up program, or later on for $19 or something, but $50? Nah, that's for the REALLY hardcore fans. Remakes overall are not going to be huge movers this gen, people overwhelmingly want fresh experiences and games not hobbled by old designs.
