riecsou said: it seems like only Titanfall and the bundle are actually selling on amazon: Titanfall currently at number 2 and the bundle at number 11. But the Xbox One by itself all the way to 76. I wonder is MS is going to be able to sell Xbox One without adding a free game when the Titanfall Bundle will be over |
The game at number 2 is fairly unimportant in the context of this thread (i.e. killing PS4) given it's selling to existing Xb one owners. What's important is the position of the TF bundle in relation to PS4. AFAIK TF bundle has never been ahead of PS4 except when PS4 was out of stock. It's back in stock now and PS4 is 9 while TF bundle is 10.
Either Amazon is its own little ecosystem where a lot of Sony fans shop and not many Xbox fans shop which is not representative of the country as a whole, or TF is largely selling to existing Xb one owners and the boost of the TF bundle is only moderate and that is a country-wide pattern. The thing about Amazon is the trending is a reflection of nation-wide demand, on Amazon only of course, whereas other individual retailer (or neighbourhood or city) information members post here is very localised information.
I wonder how VGC estimates Amazon sales (does it have an inside person?), and damn I'd like to know what Amazon's general market share is for games and hardware. 1%, 10%, 20%?
