Um... I'm sorry, I still don't get it... why did Uncharted 4 just jump 45,050%? Answers people! I need answers!

It was $43 to preorder for a short period of time, now it is back up to $60 it will plummet right back down again


Okay thanks!  Lol.  I was stuck.  Thanks for that!  I knew it was something.

i think there was a leaked release date or something like that or maybe there was a pre order deal or something, glad the order is looking like it will do well by the way. i can't wait for it.



Uncharted 4 was 43 dollars for a bit, that's why it went to the top.

X1 was 400 dollars for 12-13 days

The Order 1886 keeps climbing after the story trailer, now up to 90. It's #30 on Amazon UK. I've been keeping an eye on its charts trends on several Amazons (US, UK, FR, DE, ES) and it's been trending better than the other upcoming releases (Feb-March), even despite being split into more than one SKU.



What is with Smash Bros? That hasn't had any price reductions really and it has just spiked way up.

Also, those AC adapter sales bode well for the New 3DS :P



Will this be the first month since 2013 that Amazon doesn't correctly predict the NPD winner? This is the first time in a long time since PS4 and Xb one have been so close on the monthly chart that it seems to be a fairly close call. Because of the reliability of Amazon over the last year I think PS4 is looking to win NPD for January, but I expect it to be close, and it's possible that Xb one actually ends up winning.

Nope, ps4 will win and amazon will continue to be right. 



Wow Monster Hunter 4 is doing really, really well, currently at #1 and Smash is doing really well too at #5. Dang.

Sony should REALLY try to get Monster Hunter back, just look at that thing! PSV needs it so badly!

Is Nintendo on a exclusivity deal with Capcom for MH? If so, for how long?

They just see no reason to put it on the Vita.  The 3DS is selling much better and more importantly, they can use the same development pipeline for the 3DS that they have been using for years while the Vita would require adjusting for HD development which would cost money.  If there's one thing Capcom is consistently stupid about, it's where they spend their money.  They pour tons of cash into games that do terrible but refuse to give Monster Hunter the funding needed to really go for it in the home console/HD space.

That doesnt make any sense, they would make a lot of money just by porting it on Vita, there is no doubt about that. So why not ? It can only be because of some kind of deal with nintendo or trouble with sony about mh or both
