Looks like X1 ACU bundle entered the yearly chart and it's at #43 already!

Since the PS4 is at 4 (vanilla) and 27 (Destiny bundle) ACU at 43 (the next console on the yearly chart), does that mean that BF did very little to close the gap and PS4 still has a huge lead? X1 also has 71 and 76 (rounding out the top 100), but how do these correlate to actual sales figures?

If we equate total X1 ACU bundle sales to the Amazon item at 42 on the yearly charts, it sold ~290,000 units in November (assuming Amazon is a repsentative sample size). That's some heavy lifting by one new SKU.

The gap before November was 1.2m. Before BF it shrunk to 1m. Best case scenario is that X1 made another 200k more than PS4 on BF. So even if PS4 wins December by a good margin we can at least say that the gap didn't widen over the holidays which is more than anyone could hope this year.

If we go by Amazon (You can throw BB and GS in there), PS4 took BF weekend. If you go by Infoscout, it was X1 that took BF (the actual day). To make matters more confusing, you have disagreements on who shipped more and who sold out, etc. If we just say everyone is right and use the data that the top 4 US video game retailers are Walmart, Bestbuy, Gamestop, and Target (in that order), nobody won lol.

That means it outsold all the other X1. Meaning November X1 ACU> any single SKU Jan-November

The Titan fall bundle was at #28 on the yearly chart at one point.

IF You put it against infamous, destiny 360 and madden 360, all below it and using amazon as a snapshot, it would have sold ~750k all year.

Gamestop is not acurate, 360 ánd ps3 has been outselling both ps4 and xbox one, just before black friday week. Yeah right. And xbox one was #1 and # 5 on bestbuy, you can deduce a winner from that!

Those were refurbished consoles and it doesn't change the fact that the PS4 dominated on Gamestop.

I'm thinking this is probably more right, as the AC numbers don't make sense (in comparison). How can 290 > 700?

Just Dance 2015 for Wii is at 45 with yearly sales of ~60K, so I have no idea what any of this means any more lol.

Makes kinda sense. If X1 sold around 60k on Amazon and Amazon is about 6% of sales we're at 1m units for US.

Well let's not forget the sales of the AC:U w/Kinect, CoD:AW, and Sunset OD which also all sold out in November... But the TItanfall bundle was really popular for a few months yet this has blown past it in a day! And now Amazon has it on Cyber Monday sale for $329.99 again so more sales...
