Yeah, I couldn't be bothered to get into an in depth conversation about the potential loss of sales from the leaks. I could be wrong of course but don't you think it's odd that the BO3B has dropped out of the top 20 when the highly acclaimed and successful title RAC just released and UC4 is not too far off? And let's not forget the current promotions for No Man's Sky. One would expect it to at least maintain the consistancy it's been showing for weeks now.

I think that can partly be chalked up to it running out of stock for a few days, and it seems that Amazon's hourly charts seem to factor in more than the most current hour of sales (the psvr stayed at the top of the charts for days even though it sold out in less than an hour), so that it can take a few days for the sales to "catch up," so to speak. Also, April is generally a much slower time for console sales, but if the ps4 doesn't start rising in a few weeks (especially by May 10th), then yeah, I could see where you're coming from. 

I feel this is normal. It dropped out of the top 20 around this time last year too. Console sales are slower this time of year. 

 

However i I was just at toys r us tonight and they didn't have a single ps4 in stock but had 12! Xbox ones. Seems like ps4 is selling fine to me regardless of the 4K rumors.
