It seems scammers are using this to get Wal-mart to price match. You can even put in your cart and buy.

PS4 position up 1400% in the past 4 hours

I am not entirely convinced that its the scam that is leading to the current boost.  I think people are just buying the PS4.


After a full day of scamming I don't really have to convince you, the facts are there.

The PS4 should have gone back down.  And it did.  But its still at 4th place.  If the PS4 stays above 10th place for the rest of the month, will you still make the case that its all a scam?  This is a serious question.  I understand one day, but are you making the case that no one is actually buying the console?

So you think its done going down and this is the new baseline?

You're not making any sense.  

Even when things go out of stock, amazon has the items ranked high for a good amount of time before they go down.  It's just how the amazon ranking system functions.  When things go out of stock, items drop on the list gradually.

First, you don't answer a question with a quetion.  Honestly, I think its the holiday season.  I think sales are going to go up.  You can attribute this #1 fluke to a few scams, but you can't deny that the system is selling very well regardless.  No wait I'm worng. you can deny anything.    Considering the release schedulce for the rest of the month, I expect that to stay in the top ten.  Possibly falling below pokemon, the othe PSN card and perhaps the Xbox One bundle from time to time.  I think top 10 is the new baseline for PS4

The rest of the month? You know everything's out already right?



Seems like it just don't stop for the Ps4
All other consoles are only very rare on this now.
But a new seller for the Ps4 plain sku apperars every hour or even more often

It has been over 24 hours since the frauds were first discovered and they are still happening. So it is safe to say that from at least yesterday the best seller data is all F'ed up.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

This tells me that more people want PS4's. They could do the same thing with XOne or Wii U but people choose to scam PS4s.
