Looks like the Amazon top 20 list as changed. No PS4 games and 3 Xbox One games.

Forza 5, Call of Duty Ghosts, and Dead Rising 3. Also Xbox One still at the top.

What's really more important is the best sellers for the entire year.  For example, if you go on Amazon Germany, you will see that the PS4 is #1 and the Xbox One is #3 in the bestsellers list.  However, if you look at best sellers for the year, it shows an entire different story.  PS4 is #1, while Xbox One is only #31.  Big difference.

On the UK site, currently, the Xbox is #2 and the PS4 is #4.  Look at the best sellers for the year, PS4 is #4 and Xbox is only #70.  On the French site, the PS4 is #3 and the Xbox is #7.  Look at the best sellers of the year, PS4 is only #33 and Xbox hasn't even broken the top 100.  And lastly, the US site, Xbox is #1 and the PS4 is #3.  Look at best sellers for the year, PS4 is #2 and Xbox is only #8.


Outsiude of North America PS4 was able to be pre ordered way back in February because places don't wait for official release. Microsoft was able to be pre ordered in May. So you do the math on that one.

How many of those pre orders will be taken back by retailers and websites for both systems? A boat load.

You will see PS4 has been in the top 100 for 25 days. So they at least been able to pre order as early as 25 days ago.  However I know it has been earlier than that because people outside of NA were posting their recipets online showing people they had pre ordered the PS4 back when they had their reveal.

How could PS4 have spent 25 days in the top 100 when the real pre orders started after their E3 show which was 11 days ago?

Answer is they have been up for months in many places outside of NA.

It says "winners of the day".

Xbox One +1062%
Forza 5 +370%
Assassin's Creed Black Flag +376%
Ryse +300%

 

etc.

The Xbone is still on nr. 198

No offense but you really don't understand how this works and which console is selling more? It really doesn't matter that the xbox one is the "top selling" product on Amazon. While it's true it is, the PS4 is DOMINATING the Xbox One Still. The thing is the PS4 has several different versions for pre order between bundles, launch edition and standard edition. Xbox One has two but really people who buy it now are just getting the day one edition so that's where the total xbox one sales go on Amazon so I would hope that it would be at the top since there is really only one model that sells.

I hope that helps anyone who is confused understand things better. Sony is still destroying microsoft in pre orders but the situation is much better than it was for microsoft. It's bad enough now, just think a few days ago before the changes even with so many different PS4 versions the only xbox one version still couldn't be at the top.

I'm surprised Xbox one hasn't seen a bigger boost since the no DRM announcement.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

You do the math...when did One preorders start again? Something like 20-30 days ago? You could not preorder PS4 on Amazon until the day after the xbox reveal. I can't believe how you twisted facts here.

Xbox ONE has moved up 2 spaces in about a day or so for the whole best sellers 2013 list.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2013/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar

They'll both sell out though, so this is still quite pointless.

Still, PS4 has been able to hold onto the #2 spot.  And that's with 5 other SKUs dividing up sales.  SKUs that will evetually end up in the Top 100, as well. 

I think Gamestop shows an even clearer picture.  Before, the Xbox One was #8 on their best sellers list.  After the announcement, one of the One SKUs made its way up to #2.  Look at it today, and the One has dropped down to #9.  And the PS4 has 6 SKUs in the Top 10.  Heck, even the Dual Shock 4 is selling better than the One.  It seems that the DRM announcement did bring back quite a few fans into the One's corner, enough to give it a nice bump these past few days, but not enough to make much of a long term impact.  I think the damage was done.  And that limited supply problem isn't going to help the One, either.  Though, it hasn't sold out, yet.
