Looks like X1 ACU bundle entered the yearly chart and it's at #43 already!

Since the PS4 is at 4 (vanilla) and 27 (Destiny bundle) ACU at 43 (the next console on the yearly chart), does that mean that BF did very little to close the gap and PS4 still has a huge lead? X1 also has 71 and 76 (rounding out the top 100), but how do these correlate to actual sales figures?

If we equate total X1 ACU bundle sales to the Amazon item at 42 on the yearly charts, it sold ~290,000 units in November (assuming Amazon is a repsentative sample size). That's some heavy lifting by one new SKU.

The gap before November was 1.2m. Before BF it shrunk to 1m. Best case scenario is that X1 made another 200k more than PS4 on BF. So even if PS4 wins December by a good margin we can at least say that the gap didn't widen over the holidays which is more than anyone could hope this year.

If we go by Amazon (You can throw BB and GS in there), PS4 took BF weekend. If you go by Infoscout, it was X1 that took BF (the actual day). To make matters more confusing, you have disagreements on who shipped more and who sold out, etc. If we just say everyone is right and use the data that the top 4 US video game retailers are Walmart, Bestbuy, Gamestop, and Target (in that order), nobody won lol.
