I asked for a similar data for Xbox one for comparison purposes, but you didn't reply. Are you only interested in Playstation products?

Umm, yea? Hell just last night I bought a $20 and a $10 for MGS. As well as a $50 and a $10 for inFamous. They're don't just sell it for fun.

Umm you need more than that because of tax...almost leading me to doubt your whole story.

It doesn't matter what replaced it, nothing has been able to beat in stock PS4 hardware before.

They charge you tax for things you buy digitally?

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

I'm grand thanks, have mine since launch. Was just seeing if the demand had died down and according to them, it has not.

And yet it was replaced by All PlayStation products. I wonder if there's some kind of big game release this week, maybe two that would warrant a big boost for said games and PSN cards (to purchase digitally)

Geeeeee.... I wonder.

Nvm, DOOOOOMMM

People are buying $10 gift cards to buy Infamous?

Which BTW is only 3rd...I think Titanfall was better than that 3 days from release...

PS gift cards always rank high. It's not surprising.

Amazon is Playstation biased in terms of sales for a long time. For example in February, PS4 was 3rd and XOne was 23rd. Yet NPD revealed they sold almost the same nationally.

So basically whatever Playstation or Playstation accesories is doing on Amazon it's worse nationally.

Anyways no matter what products replace it, the fact is PS4 in stock hardware not being #1 is a first, and quite surprising. I think it's the end of PS4 supply constraint.

You're not making sense. If on Amazon PS4 was selling 23 places higher than Xb one in feb, yet nationally NPD made PS4/Xb one an almost statistical tie then clearly Amazon is a very poor indicator of total national sales. The only conclusion you can draw from Amazon best seller lists is that PS4 is doing better than Xb one on Amazon, but it has no predictive value for sales as a whole.

And yes, it does seem supply constraints for Amazon is not an issue. But again that's not necessarily a reflection of the national picture, because Amazon doesn't actually need PS4's to be in the country to sell them. They could be in Chinese warehouses and be shipped direct to the customer from there. Thsis would mean Amazon's stock refresh rate is very quick, compared to companies that need to bring PS4's into the country, send them to distribution warehouses, then distribute them to stores.

It will be very interesting to see how divergent March NPD is from Amazon. if Amazon is to be believed it means PS4 would win March. But I doubt that's going to be the case, at least not until we see what the inFamous effect is. inFamous can give PS4 the March win, especially if Sony put more PS4 stock into the USA in the early weeks of March so that it's not just the inFamous effect.

From anecdotal evidence I'm hearing on here + GAF, a lot of retailers have been getting more and more stock during March. This isn't surprising, surprised it hasn't happened sooner and is great for anyone looking to buy now.
