Dude you give Amazon too much importance. It's in stock at plenty of other places-

I understand we use Amazon as a gauge and it's been correct, but you can't use it to 100% gauge something as fact when other retailers don't match up with it. Retailers that have a bigger data for NPD.

Also as you can see the Ucharted bundle is taking it's place for sales. Even at BB it's number 1 on their charts. Took back over the Halo bundle just after 2 days. Amazon is fun to use but it's not the whole story.

so... considering amazon data and these other retailers can we conclude that right now it seems like the ps4 have the lead?

From what i've been looking at over the course of this month......Yes. Barring a sales boost for XB1 next week. Either way it will be close i think.
