Where is the New 3DS on Amazon. Its dominating everywhere else.... Just seems odd because usually Amazon is on top of the Pre Orders.

Don't worry New 3ds xl pre-ordering hasn't opened up yet on Amazon.com!

I don't understand why Xb one isn't ahead on the hourlies already. The new price has been in effect for 2 full days now, which means the hourly chart will have flushed through any sales data from when Xb one was $399. If this is reflecting how a permanent $350 Xb one will sell through the year this is not terribly good for Xb one.

Given for the monthly we have PS4 at 8 and Xb one at 16 right now, and PS4 is still ahead on the hourlies I think it's likely that PS4 will win January NPD. Should be close though, being a low sales months generally. Might be 30 or 40K between them. Feb will be interesting being the first full non-holiday month with $350 Xb one in effect.

Well,Xb1 might just sold fast on holidays to those who anywise would buy it...And now despite going back to the lower price it doesn't thrive as much as it would be expected!

It could be that a lot of people went and bought Xb one last year because they thought it would be a long time before they would see $350 again, so the market potential for $350 is a little diminished, at least for a month or so. Still, Xb one baseline will be higher than 2014.

shit i think xbox might pass ps4 and then we're all going to look like idiots lol

Not at all. For starters, it could prove to be a spike and little else. Furthermore, as PS4 games start to release, it will pull back ahead when appropriate. The situation is fine.

i think you're right, the last couple of hours there hasn't been any change. i guess ps4 is still going to sell more from now on, but xbox one is just going to take a few potentional sales from them due to the price cut.
