woah!! PS4 dropped like a rock(hourly)

XB1 is well above the PS4

Amazon still hasn't restocked? why aren't people jumping on those deals, they seem way better than the regular $399.99 PS4

It's going to be a tight month.

The problem is that Amazon only represents approximately 5% of US sales, which is why it is a useless metric for software sales. The PS4 has been ahead of the XBO for most of the month in Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, and Walmart, all of which cumulatively represent the vast majority of US sales.

If the PS4 isn't restocked by the start of May, we need to consider if it's worth having an "Amazon May" thread. I think a good solution is to keep an eye on the Big 5 (Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, Walmart, and Amazon) and document the rankings all month.
