In UK, situation is now really worrying for XB1: PS4 has 3 SKU ranked higher than the competitively priced XB1 at amazon.co.uk:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Sellers-PC-Video-Games-Consoles/zgbs/videogames/676171011/ref=zg_bs_nav_vg_h__1_vg_h_


PS4 ranks: 52 (GTA5 bundle 349£), 70 (black 329£), 139 (white 329£)
XB1 rank: 153 (299£)

Compared to that, XB1 is doing really well at Amazon.com!

Amazon UK has 23 different X1 Skus(game/accessory/movie/tablet pack ins from 299£-444£) compared to 5 for PS4. I dont think Amazon UK would be the best place to determine sales.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I think we should stop using Best Buy's site as an indicator.

Bestbuy.com never had the new bundle for sale, yet it's high on the list.  It is not possible for something with 0 orders to be a best seller.  I can tell you that this list doesn't match up internal data, but I won't get into details for obvious reasons.  Based on the evidence, I don't think we should use Bestbuy.com bestsellers list as a reliable indicator.  This conclusion has never been as obvious as it is now.

Why not?  Have you seen how many PS4 Skus they have?  I stopped counting at 30.

Woah, Mario Party bundle strikes back!
Also, Kingdom Hearts 3 getting a lot of preorders for a game with no release date...

I cannot wait for Mario Party 10. My gf thinks I'm overexcited, but that loser has never played one.

PS4: #9
X1: #22

With X1's stock waning, the drop has been very steep.

That's the first time I've seen the X1 fall below #20... :O

It was also only 3-4 places behind the PS4 earlier...

Yup. They only had one left at that point, so it took a serious nose dive.

Actually, there are plenty in stock. The "one left in stock" only refers to ONESALE. If you look at this link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00NFXON1Q/ref=olp_page_2?ie=UTF8&condition=new&startIndex=10 ) and scroll down, you'll see that Amazon, itself, still has X1's in stock. It's just that there are several 3rd parties selling the bundle at lower prices.

I always forget about that. Silly me! I do a lot of shopping there, too. :P Wonder why the steep drop, then...

Not exactly sure.... Having observed how the X1 has been doing after the price cut, it tends to see-saw between the low teens and high teens. It was not until recently that it fell below #20. Kingdom Hearts III is partially responsible for the drop (I don't know why there are so many pre-orders when it doesn't even have a release date, LOL). Take the PS4 and X1 versions out, the X1 would be at #20 though that is still a pretty big drop.

Hype is dead, pricecut is no longer pushing sales.

It dropped under #20 at least once before.
