Nicee! I just hope more people sees this thread before making those "Blah will win cause Blah is doing awesome at amazon" threads cause its not always accurate

It is interesting the difference between accuracy between 7th gen and 8th gen however

Prety good the thread.

The issue with the sales in November is that is 70% about only one week... the Black Friday... you can have a console winninf Intel the BF and of it loose the BF it will loose the month due the volume.

Wha?! What is intel??

I'm sure Binary is aware November isn't over yet ...

Good thread, what do you make of Halo MCC being at #49 way above both COD skus?

Corrector...  winning until BF.

 Hopefully it will continue to be reasonably accurate in terms of console positioning, so we can continue with the Amazon threads.


Curse your filthy tounge for utter such words. lol

Good info. I am surprised more people haven't commented. I guess that proves that it is a lot harder to argue with straight facts.


whats to argue exactly ?

Amazon is right when one domminated, not so right when its a even figth.


That is the conclusion you came to from the data?  

Well, I guess that I need you to explain tha conclusion?



It is near the end of the end....

Great analysis, binary. November is different from other months thanks to Black Friday. Not to mention, we have not gone through even a quarter of this month yet, so it's way too soon to make any conclusions. November NPD will be very interesting.

pretty sure the sentence is supposed to be ".. winning until the BF and if it loose (loses) the BF .. "

imo it's not hard to figure out basic typos/mistakes like these

Margin for error is too high right now... PS4 and Xbox one race is not close .... like it was on PS3 and 360.

PS4 is outselling Xbox one almost 1.5:1 all year.

The current-gen tracking is incredibly accurate.
I don't know why you included Ouya though. That thing isn't tracked by Vgchartz or NPD.

He wanted to raise Ouya's self-esteem.
