And pay attention to te PS4, unless it falls to number 9, the red arrow will dissapear soon. How do I know this? Well, either I'm a psycic, or the way I described above is how the list works


Yep, it's gone. Now it's on the X1 which dropped to #15.


Well would you look at that!

So it looks like the PS4's baseline will be higher despite the fact that it's $50 more expensive and the X1 bundle has two games instead of just one.



It's ridiculous that the ps4 is still on top.



So ... where does this thread put the 'the price is what sold the PS4' argument? Doesn't this prove it was never just the price?



 

The PS5 Exists.

I have been watching the lists for over a year. Eventually you pick up on these things. But since I told you all you have to do is watch both lists for 24 hours to see if I am right (I am seriously trying to save you some time lol.)

There is no grand mystery to it... what I described is exactly how it works :)



No offence but i thought you had some definitive proof, not your observation. I think what, thismeintiel, said makes more sense. That's the way i always looked at it. Nobody really knows of course but that's the easiest and most logical explanation. I'll try watching the M&S list to see any similarities


Cosmic is right. If you want proof, take this: Unless the PS4 falls to number 9, the red arrow will dissapear soon.

Also, guys, on Amazon, it's not called hourly bestsellers, that's just what we call it. On Amazon, it's simply called "Amazon bestsellers" and described as "Our most popular products based on sales. Updated hourly."

The arrows are based on rankings from 24 hours earlier. They have nothing to do with sales in correlation to last hour. Just look at the PSN cards, do you think all three of them sell exactly the same every hour?

And pay attention to te PS4, unless it falls to number 9, the red arrow will dissapear soon. How do I know this? Well, either I'm a psycic, or the way I described above is how the list works


Ok i saw it. Now what exactly are you both trying to prove with this? Whether 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, Amazon is showing PS4 is selling more. I didn't see this needed to be explained when XB1 was selling more for 2 months. Does it matter that Amazon has a unique way of doing this? The end result is the same.

What I was trying to prove? That the arrows have nothing to do with how much it has sold compared to the last hour, it's only based on rankings, and it's rankings from 24 hours ago. This has actually been explained in several of the other amazon threads, also the ones where the XBO was selling better. I was merely explaining to you that the way you and thismeintel and insidb interpretted the chart was wrong. No need to get fired up.

Side note: Are you implying that I'm arguing against the fact that the PS4 is selling better than the XBO? Oh-kee doh-kee!

That argument already fell when the PS4 sold better with price parity.

People that said it was only the price are now like:


Oh my god.

That GIF.

It's hilarious!



It must piss Microsoft off so much seeing the ps4 still sell more in it's best region. It's probably not worth the slight increase in sales to sell it for 50$ less
