You can't read too much into this. But if the rankings more or less hold to this order through the weekend, or at least for all of BF, then on amazon at least it's likely PS4 will have sold the most for BF week. How that plays out across all retailers is unknown. What we will know though is that ACU Kinectless bundle will be the #1 console sku for the month, which, unless GTA/TLOU and Lego/LBP bundles get high in the monthly rankings (top 10 for one and top 20 for the other), should mean Xb one wins Nov NPD. But perhaps not by a very large margin, maybe 100K or so.

But what this does suggest on a national level is that both consoles are going to sell shitloads.

Well my prediction was total X1 domination but this only proves its going to be close and that would be like a statistical tie in the end and that would probably ruin the X1 momentum going to December. :(

I wonder if BF is actually the time where Amazons rankings are their least accurate due to massive sales of consoles in stores? Like even with XBO with only one ahead on the ranking that it could be crushing PS4 in stores?

Holy crap Amazon says ps4 gta5 just increased by over a whopping 225,000!!!!!!!!!! :O

Not even that, but the lbp3 and Lego batman 3 bundle is at 25 :O

 

Edit: Spell check messed up my lbp3 lol

With Xbox one, it took it this whole month to finally get to #1, yet ps4 does it in a single day.
Very telling who has the better chance of winning November.

That order at least. Ofc i can't guess the actual rank.

why would you even predict that? PS4 won August, September and October easy and MS had a lot of big deals those months. 

It's going to be close either way but if X1 win you can hardly expect it to be more than 200k. That's not a lot when you look at what they've done deal wise and December will favour the PS more. And then PS goes back in front for 8-9 months in a row next year.

i doubt anybody is crushing anything in stores! Do you not think both companies will sell out their own shipments? It doesn't matter who goes faster because they'll all go eventually and the net result is one console selling 100-200k more than the other. WHen total sales for both will be so high that's not really a big victory for either.

Because I had a bet before the start of this generation that the X1 would win the US. This was before that E3 disaster. X(

This is like the time I picked Morales over Pacqauio in their 2nd fight. @_@

oh that makes sense. Yeah a lot picked the xbox and if MS decide market share is bigger than profit and Sony stick to profit the Xbox could well win the US. (in the long run).

I came from best buy and from what I saw, xbox one should take this one, at least I saw more ps4 bundle available than xbox one. Both will sell well.

It increased that much in placement. 4506 is 225,300% of 2.
