xbox one now #1 again, I guess the 499 is hurting the sales.


it went out of stock hours ago and the hourly updates are behind by 5-6 hours. This is prob the last hour it was in stock. It will be gone in the next update or two. 

So ps4 is going down again until next round?


people can pre order the GTA 5 bundle for December 2nd. Some will do that and others will pick one of the other 3 SKU's. The obvious would be the LBP3 + Lego PS4 for $399 or the Destiny bundle if it stays at $399. But strangely some will end up going for the PS4 with no games for $399. It's already risen a good bit and I'd imagine will go up a bit more until the GTA 5 bundle is back. Sony must be delighted with that.

you know black friday is one day, right, so it sold 1/4 of those numbers on one day. That seems reasonable. 320/4weeks is 80k. 80k+100k=180k. That makes sense.

Sorry, but no, Black Friday is going to always greatly outdo every week in Nov.  And Thurs night-Friday is going to greatly outdo any day that week.  For example, in 2012 the PS3 sold ~710K in Nov.  On BF week, 525K.  That's ~74% for one week, and most likely ~65%-70% for the 1-1 1/2 days.  So, sorry, their methodology is poor.

last ps4 sold 1 million in a day in NA, so about 900k in usa in a day, but only sold 1.2k in the other 15 days including black friday, so about 100k on black friday. Do you see my point, black friday sale is nothing without context!

I gave you the context of a normal Black Friday.  You just wish to ignore the fact that infoscout has poor methodology because you want to believe their findings.

Well it was an extremely good run for the bundle. The other 3 SKUs should do just fine and the bundle will be back in stock on Dec 2. Looks like the PS4 will have a very good December.

I do not want to believe because they are just doing this for two years, soon their names will be made or broken.  am only pointing out logics to you.

Actually that's not longer the case, you can't order the GTA Bundle from Amazon anymore, December 2nd or later.

Looks like more people are buying the Destiny bundle at $400 now that the GTA bundle is out of stock.

Welp, looks like a clean November win for X1 after all.

Yes, the same Amazon that predicted every monthly win for the PS4 correctly.

But I guess now that the X1 is on top it suddenly isn't credible anymore.

BTW, this is what Amazon said in the only month X1 won.

Might want to look at amazon rankings and NDp differencials, amazon is far from a prediction.  It was never overly credable, and we all go of ndp numbers with a rare special exception that argue pro vgc lol to suit their X1 sales dreams.
