Xbox One won

The Xbox One is very, very cheap in Australia at the moment. You can get one with 1TB and 2 games for $298.

Verryo interested, if xbox one wins amazon is unreliable.

It has been very much unrealiable for actual sales, we use to have term here for it, but it might have died with the old guard that is gone. It was basically mention or show clubbing seals (not actually getting clubbed, but were about to) everytime amazon would be used an actual format to judge real sales. 



 

Well, Amazon got it worst than poollisters with the elections



Good to see the king back on the throne where they belong. The Xbox One S is a great console and deserves every sale it gets.



Yay, Xbox One comes first again for the fourth time in a row, admist adversity and fierce competition!

Why are NPD results released one week earlier than the chart?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I am so happy that you mention it, it is like almost nobody remembers.  Especially on Neogaf people would put down those clubbing seals pictures when someone dared to bring up those numbers. We had serious threads where people believed uncharted was outselling mario kart (wii) because it was higher on amazon.

Because people pay for the npd results and NPD doesn't want that the charts becomes public otherwise nobody want to pay for the numbers now...or you mean something else?






I really don't understand why people use Amazon as a source, it's like Target,Walmart, Best Buy doesn't exist for them. I also remember people are claiming that the PSVR will ensure victory for PS4 this month.



Proud to be a Californian.

MS don't care about sales, but shout them from the rooftops each time they win. Interesting.

Should be back to normal next month, Pro has been taken away lots of sales. I guess Greenberg and co. will go back to being more interested in MAUs
