Where is tax not charged on the USA, which Amazon serves???

 

 I dont think so...


up until recently if you lived in Wisconsin you didnt need to pay tax on amazon. Until they built a distribution center. Now since they have a presence in WI you need to pay tax. Also, tax on Amazon doesnt change the value of the gift card

was in my local game store today and Ps4's cannot be got until next week, shelfs were full of Xbox 1 titan fall bundles.


You casn just buy a PS4 freely on Amazon if you're looking for one. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-4-Console/dp/B00BGA9WK2/ref=zg_bs_videogames_5


Great! Fallen now encourages people to buy more PS4s!

 

More seriously, PS4 in number 5 doesn't mean at all there is less demand than before. It probably means there is a stronger demand for very hyped Infamous and MGS5 (or other Sony games) both retail and digital.

It's been in stock for 6 days, 5 and a half of which were at number 1, a place I have never seen X1 or any X1 bundles, and is still ahead of X1's savior by four spots, and you have managed to spin it to sound like this is bad news for PS. You could work for MS with that kind of spin.


Heh, Titanfall bundle is not far behind in stock PS4.

 

It would be simply amazing if $500 Xbox started outselling $400 PS4 on Amazon, which as noted seems biased. But this has not happened yet.

it's hilarious when people bring up the hourly bestsellers.  How bout we talk about the ones that actually matter.  Like this one and this one. 

By the way, the only reason Amazon was more slanted than NPD results is because it was basically the only place you could get a PS4 in February.  This time Sony has gotten stock to Walmart and Gamestop (edit: and Target), so Amazon's charts should be a more accurate representation this time.

They charge you tax for things you buy digitally?


Not on PSN.


I was wondering if he was somewhere that was an exception. Even buying digital psn games on amazon there wasn't tax (I do pay on physcial where I am)

Me thinks OP is a bit obsessed with PS4 amazon sales. 

That's exactly what I meant too. He's obsessed on the issue. Ranting about people don't want to see negative Sony news but it's not about that. It's about his numberous attempts to downplay PS4's success on Amazon. It probably keeps him awake at night.

It's pretty much like saying, "HA HA! You're console of choice isn't kicking my console of choice's ass quite as hard as before, so you guys lose!  Let me rub your face in it."

FINAL FANTASY X|X-2 on Vita has moved up a spot into 8th place! The highest non-PS4 game!

... what? Isn't that what this thread is for?

Good thing someone else gets it. Only Amazon had stock for a good amount last month.

Thing is no one knows if it was slanted. 8 things between the consoles were giftcards. That makes the consoles a lot closed if you remove those. Also, #1 could be 30 units more than number 30.

Why remove the giftcards? They are sold like every other item on Amazon as well, aren't they?

Btw. the PS4 camera is number 8 now and it seems like it made a pretty big jump, what happenend there, was the camera out of stock before?
