If Sony wanted to go for the jugular this month they should bundle The Order and TLOU together for $399. It'll probably be $449 though.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the Order is a very good game.

Sony don't need to go for the juggler yet. They can easily win for the next few months while maximising profits. Save everything for one massive push come xmas. They held out last year in the face of a massive firesale and they are reaping the reward now.

Does anyone know how far back amazons current streak of correctly predicting NPD is?


I did a thread about this a while back. Basically Amazon was about as good as vgchartz at picking the npd winner in the final year of last gen. Amazon did not correctly pick the December 2013 npd winner IIRC but it's been 100% since then.

The order's 3 SKU are selling better than i would expect...wow

I think the game will be a solid hit. Sony knows how to market cinematic third person shooters.

For the December 2013 NPD I think that was because of how supply constrained the PS4 was. Sony were seemingly prioritizing over the counter stores with supply, since during a scarcity people would tend more towards brick and mortar sale points than online sales. Amazon just reflected what was happening within its store, it was simply selling more XB1 than PS4 cause it had more XB1s in stock.

Question is... will EVOLVE give any boost to the X1 since the marketing is focused there...


what year was evolve even announced? i just heard of this game like a month ago.


EVOLVE had a -huge- booth at PAXEast last year, with a 3hr+ line to play the demo level. To be honest it seemed pretty well finished at that time, and I'm surprised it's been almost a year now and its still not out.

The final january update has happened. Xbox moved up to #18 and ps3 stayed at #9. Hopefully february is similar.

Great job at Order. All three SKU's in the top 100 definitely should have a positive effect on sales; even more so when the game gets closer to release and the rankInge of each increase as well.


Hey Teeqoz, how do you get monthly updates? I know you are in charge of the monthly updates, but I just want it for future reference.
