The PS4 has consistently been ranked above the XBO on Best Buy, GameStop, and Wal-mart's websites as well as Amazon.com ever since they've kept a steady supply. On Amazon, it's ranked #6 among all video game products for the month of April while the XBO is ranked #24; they are at #6 and #40 respectively for the current hour. While this is just online stores, I think it provides a significant enough cross-section of the retail market to suggest that the PS4 is outselling the XBO in the U.S. This is also consistent with NPD showing that the PS4 has been outselling the XBO by a comfortable margin this year. In addition, with Titanfall already over a month old and the price drop for the Titanfall bundle over, I have sincere doubts that the XBO is actually improving. I have a feeling that VGC is once again overtracking the XBO and undertracking the PS4. At the current rate VGC seems to be suggesting that the XBO will sell about 240k for April with the PS4 possibly not breaking 200k. Anybody who believes that will likely be served a nice big dish of crow come April NPD.

While in YTD sales VGC isn't too far off from NPD, they're still overtracking the XBO and undertracking the PS4. They have the PS4 at 901k and the at XBO at a bit over 721k, a gap of 180k YTD, while NPD has then at 927k and 711k respectively, a gap of 216k. But they're still a lot more off for March alone than for Q1 as a whole, with the PS4-XBO gap being half of what the NPD reported (PS4 undertracked by ~26k, XBO overtracked by ~7k), and this I think is skewing their tracking for April too much in the XBO's favor. If I had to guess, the PS4 will actually outsell the XBO by about 25% for the month.

the xb1 titanfall bundle dropped to number 40 because the stand alone xbox is now 454$ on amazon and is rising. 

It's certainly not rising much.

Awww jizz, Xbox one is closing the gap on the PS4. Everybody panic! Looks like the Xbox one is picking up some steam, thanks to Titanfall it seems.

Those Wii U sales are pretty abysmal at this point.

April's NPD will be more interesting than march's.

If Xone wins Neogaf will meltdown;
If PS4 wins Ethomaz will teabag everybody with the "amazon's truthfact!" and Neogaf will perbanish the name "VGchartz"!

VGChartz never fails to amuse.

But wow, Japan is a wasteland. 21k is the supposed #1 console? What are you doing, Japan?

To be fair there is no japanese-oriented game on PS4 to estimulate japanese gamers to buy PS4.

I don't care. The numbers are still terrible all around. Even for handhelds, which is what Japan has been "favoring."

I know we're supposed to take VGC just as estimates with a biggish possible error, but damn those are amusing.

- NPD PS4 > XB1 in Titanfall month.
- Amazon US April ranks PS4 at #6 and XB1 at #24 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-04/videogames#1)
-- XB1 is ranked around the same as FIFA (PS4), which VGC estimates below 9300 units (it's off the bottom of the chart)

XB1 > PS4 is a good joke.

Spot the odd one out. Who believe Amazon ranks are biased by 700%?

AMZ #6 Titanfall (X360)    - VGC 97,601
AMZ #8 PS4 Console         - VGC 53,441
AMZ #9 Titanfall (XB1)     - VGC 59,233
AMZ #15 Minecraft (XB360)  - VGC 30,464
AMZ #17 GTAV (XB360)       - VGC 14,465
AMZ #23 GTAV (PS3)         - VGC 12,617
AMZ #30 FIFA (PS4)         - VGC  9,300 or less
AMZ #37 XB1 Titanfall Bnd. - VGC 65,495

Based on rough proportions UK:Europe sales it seems Xb one stayed about the same (11K) and PS4 dropped a bit ( <10K). So Xb one holding on to a weekly lead in the UK for a while now.

There's still a 160K gap but I think it's too much to expect PS4 to turn around a 1.5:1 lead for Xbox 360 and for PS4 to wind up with a substantial lead, or any lead at all for that matter. UK is looking to be very even between PS4 and Xb one.

I can't believe the Wii U is still being outsold by both the PS3 and Xbox 360.
