those pesky ps gift cards are an annoying sight lol.

Yeah, I'm not sure why PS gift cards have consitently been ranked near the top of Amazon's bestsellers list for a long time now, higher than the Xbox gift cards in the US even though 360 sold more in the US than PS3 did. I can only assume that many people stopped trusting Sony with their credit card information after the security breach a few years ago, so now they buy gift cards for digital purchases. 


PSN giftcard domination didn't start before 2013, and has been more "severe" in 2014. That doesn't make sense, the PSN-hacking was in 2011, so you'd expect it to start in 2012 and then slowly degrade as more time passed between now and the hack.


Maybe the people that switched over from Wii and 360 started buying them because they knew about 2011.

But I'm sure its because people worldwide are buying them for the code because its much cheaper than buying in their own country.



SO bundle up to #6 (outselling COD:AW for PS4)
COD:AW bundle back to top 10

This is insane, lol.



Crazy. SO #4, AC #9, COD #10, ps4 #17, ACKinect #31, XBO standard #32, Ps4D #50...

Still rising.



Around the Network

Updated list.

SO $350 bundle - #6
AC $350 bundle - #9
AW $450 bundle - #10
PS4 - #17
Kinect AC $450 bundle - #31
Xbone - #32
PS4 Destiny bundle - #50



Reasons for high selling PSN cards are plenty.

1. PS4 has more digital only games as XBO so that even with the same sales of both consoles, these cards would sell better for PS4.

2. But PS4 sold more than XBO so that the difference is even bigger

3. 360 sold more than PS3 but I think most who by these cards nowadays do it for the new consoles. Digital purchases in general did probably increase a lot with the new consoles especially looking at full price titles and sales in general are pretty down on last gen consoles and I think the same is the case for digital sales so that last gen consoles are probably not a huge deal anymore for these cards.

I mean, those who spent the most for digital content own probably already a new gen console. Those who still play on PS360 are mostly people who don't buy so much digital.

4. There are probably many more who jumped from 360/Wii to PS4 as from Wii/PS3 to Xbox One and all of them need new cards and don't have money left on their digital account. Many XBO owners have probably still money from giftcards left from their 360. I as example have still some bucks on my Xbox account and can buy something with that when I get an XBox One before I need a new card.

If as example 50% of PS4 owners didn't have a PS3, that makes ~5.5 million people who will buy these cards for the first time. If only maybe 25% of XBO owners are people who didn't have a 360, only ~1.5m buy cards for Xbox for the first time. 

That are only a few reasons, there are probably more...



Man destiny bundle is down in 53rd!!! I don't think It can climb back up now whilst the standard ps4 sku slipped down to 17. SO bundle is 6, AC unity bundle is 9, COD bundle is 10, AC bundle with Kinect is 31 and standard X1 sku is at 32.

First CoD: AW review: 8/10 from VideoGamer

Positives
-Exosuits are fun and reinvigorate a stale franchise.
-Multiplayer maps are superb
-Campaign isn't totally rubish

Negatives
-Some weapons are overpowered

They weren't invited to the review event last week so the embargo doesn't apply to them, they found a store who broke the street date for the game and reviewed a retail copy. Apparently the embargo drops tomorrow.

Hmm was hoping for a bit better than that. Hopefully they're just pissed that they weren't invited to the review event



why is the base xbox one rising
