I'm pretty sure that's it. I'm not 100% on that though.

To be clear I'm asking how to check them myself...

I see ppl say x1 passed ps4 on gamespot best seller, and im just wondering how do they confirm that

 

EDIT: Nevermind it just clicked for me... Search for consoles, and sort by best seller... duhhhhh

Gamestops is missleading.  I have been told from a regional manager that if they are being paid to advertise a console heavily they will put it first in the best sellers as part of the marketing deal.  If this is true it would explain things as I recieved a pamplet from Gamestop in the newspaper promoting the Xbox One.  It would also explain Gamestops unusual best sellers that haven't gone with the trend in the past.    That being said, he might not know what he was talking about.

That Gamespot ranking is probably accurate, just the one on the front page probably isn't.

Jan NPD will be very interesting to watch. It seems each console dominated half of the month on Amazon.


Lol the xbox didn't dominate half the month. Ps4 has dominated it so far.



Maybe we should start focusing on how big a gap Sony will build again before the end of this year. Cause if PS4 wins this NPD, I don't see what or how XB1 will take any month between now and November. And even that is debateable cause we know uncharted 4 and halo will launch within a week of each other.



For those interested, the Wii U has dipped in to 56 in the hourly, but two of those spots are due to something that surprised me: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse jumped way up to 32 and Mario Party 10 jumped to 46.

Great reference links. Thanks a lot. 

I'd figure MS would be happy with this current position, but something tells me they're going to start doling out extra incentives to try to boost sales over PS4 in the US anyway.
