what's more shocking is that xbox one (which is out of stock) is ranked at number 9.

ps4 selling less than 0 units per hour.


Xbox One was in stock 8 hours ago.

PS4 was ranked #67 before the new stock, not sure there has been an update.

There hasn't.  Supposedly it updates every hour, but that's must not be true.  Or at least not true for the holidays.  Xbox One was in stock and it took about a day for it to finally shoot up to the top ten bestsellers for the hour.  So, obviously there is a delay in updates.

@ OP

You're going to be unpleasantly surprised when Amazon finally updates AND the PS4 probably puts even more space between it and the Xbox One on the Bestsellers for the year.

The charts has a momentum/time average component. If you sell 1 million one hour, then out of stock and sell 0 the next, you wont just fall off the chart. Maybe you will just fall from #1 to #2, depending on Amazon's algorithim. If you keep selling 0 you'll keep dropping.

 

Xbox One has been in and out of stock many times the last few days hence #9. Comes in stock goes up, then out of stock and back down.

you just walked right into that one didn't you..

Supposedly there is some trick to tell how much stock amazon has of an item, you put it in your cart then change the amount to 999 (max allowed I assume) and however many Amazon has it will change to that. So if there is only 183 of something, it will change your order to 183 from 999 if that's how many are left.

Anyways I just tried that with PS4 and it allowed me to put 999 in my cart no problem. So by that measure there's at least 1k+ remaining...

Just tried it, the cost is $399,590.01     :-0

Well, some update are in on the Amazon website. Playstation 4 is now ranked #8 in best sellers of 2013 so far in video games at the moment.

Because MS separated their Xbox One listings. Day One, Standard, and Xbox One are the 3 big ones.

PS4 did the same thing.

Lol, not true, at all.  The PS4 Launch Bundle was already ahead before Amazon took it down.  The Standard PS4 was ahead of the Standard Xbox One by a great deal before they took it off.  And there is only two SKUs for the One to split sales, while the PS4 has 5 to divide sales up between (before it was 6, with the Launch Bundle.)  So, the PS4 has always been ahead.  Amazon is just doing something screwy with it on the bestsellers for 2013, for whatever reason.
