You obviously skipped over the rest of my post where I stated the rankings do NOT indicate, track or measure overall sales. It ranks items by popularity in sales on an hourly basis and is a good metric in that regard.

In real life the the white PS4 bundle is more popular in terms of the rate of sales over the original PS4. Does not mean it has actually sold more units. How could it have? It was just listed.

You mean the part where you stated "Amazon sales ... are a good measurement of sales popularity"?

No, I read it. I just assumed it was not a complete non sequitir, and therefore rationally related to the discussion as a whole. Which is the usefulness of Amazon as a barometer of sales. It appears I was mistaken?

Or perhaps I was the one mistaken? I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that you had completely disregarded the majority of my posting to relay the message that the rankings have no relationship to overall sales. Or perhaps you were conveying that rankings actually can be an acurrate barometer for future, overall sales figures? I couldn't tell from the wrding of your post.

Either way, I have no input on the correlation between the two and I was simply explaining that the rankings can and do a very good job at tracking sales trends within an hourly time frame (and some would say they actually measure better over several hours as there can be lag times of 2-3 hours between sales and their impact on the rankings) and therefore should not be sumarily dismissed.

As expected.Nothing at E3 (which was predictable) appeals to anyone but Xbox and Wii fans.Titanfall and MK8 could not dethrone Sony so nothing will.People knew what games Nintendo and MS would release eventually.There are no secrets and E3 exposed that.Amazon is a good indicator since their rankings match sales figures every month of NPD and global trackers.

Titanfall Bundle? there still selling these things?

as seen by last gen its kinda hard to comeback MS gots a long hard road ahead of them and it will be a up hill battle the cut to 399 is a good start but imo there gonna need to go below the ps4 to start outselling it by meaningful amounts its highly possible that Junes NPD will still show a PS4 victory in fact this is a good candidate for my "i believe" threads

on to creating that very thread

Yea, they must have really felt that game was going to make sales explode if there are still that many to sell. And I agree that the One HAS to be, at most, $349 if they actually want to compete in the long run. Of course, that mostly pertains to US and UK. Mainland EU and Japan are lost causes, at this point.

I thinks it's more of the console not selling much which is why they are still on the market.No one ever bundles too many copies of a game since they still need to sell the regular sku.It was the same for the FF13 360 bundle.

Looks like Halo was dethroned and is now #3. The One HW continues to fall, as well.

I guess Canadians really like PS4 and don't care that much about Halo as Americans do.

This is the American list: http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=sv_vg_12

Persona Q over Master Chief, followed by Destiny bundle.
