Just to reinforce the idea that items in the lower half of the top 100 barely sell anything.. The only X1 bundle that hovered there that made it into the monthly is the Gears bundle and barely; only at #97, despite being in the 50s so often. Only makes sense, considering the ps4 fools edition stuck around the hourlies as well as the overpriced sold by 3rd parties Destiny bundle; how many do you think were buying those?
Kinect bundle dropping like a rock after first day spike and won't make it into the Monthly
Even though I still give X1 the win, it's clear Amazon gives it to PS4. 24, 39 and 47 in the monthlies is just much better than 22 and 97. (Plus, the NDC will get ahead of the Halo bundle by the time the final monthly update happens, given their current performance). Amazon can't always get it right. |
It's always bean which console was at the top on the monthlies that proved Amazon correct, no matter what was below that. IF it stays this way then it's an XB1 win according to Amazon (and I'm not going to disagree). The month isn't up yet though and the Nathan Drake Bundle is well ahead in week 4 so it's likely that when the monthlies get updated for the last time it will have the PS4 ahead. The ONLY thing that can change that is the Halo preorders.

Nope, it hasn't been about which console has the top SKU. It's just that nearly everytime, the top SKU was so far ahead of the others that it didn't matter. In the close calls, like april, where the PS4 had the top SKU, but the XBO had two SKUs, one was literally one place behind, while the other was about 10 more places behind. And, lo and behold; the XBO won april NPD. I think this month is looking similar (in fact I'd say this month, the PS4 lead suggested by Amazon is bigger than the XBO lead suggested by Amazon in April) *however* part of that is changed by the XBO Halo 5 bundle's preorders, so they'll be very close either way. However claiming that it's just about which console gets the top SKU is just wrong.

ya it was simple prior to April 2015. Generally it was a 1 SKU versus 1 SKU thing. I also agree with the pre-order argument. All of those Halo preorder bundles for the past few months will all be sold in October, but the same token all of those CoD and Star Wars bundles will count for PS4 in Novemeber NDP.
I think Xbox wins October my a decent margin. Not going to be a blow away, but 40-50k. PS4 will win Nov and Dec by a solid margin unless MS does something drastic. Halo has come and gone. Tomb Raider is not going to move the needle.
