Good to see PS TV doing well.

hmm, that's not good. I'll wait for some actual sales data though before using amazon as an indicator for sales.

Why downplay Amazon? They're not a perfect way of gauging sales but over the past year we've seen that, at least in hardware, they offer a good indication of the general trends.

 

The X1 being that low is not good for MS. I think that $399 will do nothing so let's say that happens. What does MS do? Another price cut? More bundles? Give up?

Now there is the real question!  I always thought unbundling Kinect would do nothing when the PS4 is cheaper and better supported.  Honestly I see 2 options for MS if Xbox One continues to flounder:

1) Continue on their current path and be happy with 30-40m sold LTD.  Probably cancel the Xbox Division, spin it off or sell it.

2) Dig in and get aggressive.  Drop the price by $50 this holiday season and bundle Halo or Sunset.  Start buying up studios that can pump out great games and prepare for the next gen.

amazon don't mean anything i saw many time ps3 ahead of xbox 360 in amazon us and xbox360 ahead ps3 in vgchartz

Amazon shows instant trends, so it does mean something. Not accurate for overall sales, but for hourly sales its pretty good.

The Xbox 360 was outsold by the PS3 many times over the years in weekly or even monthly sales, and Amazon is a good indicator of daily sales. 

That works both ways, I saw them both outsell each other over the years. You act like the xbox never outsold the ps3.

I said "many times" not all the time, lol. Yes, the Xbox 360 outsold it tons of times as well. Most of the time, even. It's only in the last few years that the PS3 has gained the lead in overall sales. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

It will, there's no way it won't. Microsoft just needs to advertise the pricepoint more. If they had concentrated more on it during E3, I doubt we would have seen such a disparity.

Oh alright then my bad. 

I didn't even know the 360 already caught back up to the ps3. That is pretty amazing! I know people dont trust this site but i am sure it's very close to it.

Where did you het this info from ;)


Best sellers. 

Ps4 with destiny: #5

PS4 alone: #7

PSTV: #12

Xbox one: number 41

lol I mean I just did a thread that mentioned PS TV out selling the X1 and 10 mins later this one turned up.


Oh. I thought you didn't know what best sellers were or something lol. 

There was a general thread on Amazon sales, It mentioned the Vita TV in passing. It was more about the PS4/One disparity from what I could tell.

neither will work or happen. 30-40m sold ltd very likely.

still wouldn't count them out. Sony makes 1 mistake, and they take advantage like they did last gen.

And still come in third?  MS couldn't outsell them even at their worst.
