I just noticed MLB is in the top 20!
*happy dance* @ 18 and 22 respectively.
I hope the advertise the sh*t out of the game this year. If they fix the online components, it could be huge.

I am the only one who noticed that both X1 bundles are the same, and they just have different pictures?
Why would Amazon bother with the same bundle with as 2 items with 2 different images?
Remember the PS4 TLOU:R fiasco: 1 item that was 2 bundles with 1 image?
BloodBorne was at #2 last day, now is at #4.
Flop. :(
Under 1,000,000 LT confirmed. 
Seriusly, it's awesome as the people continue to said that is a niche game, when actually it dominate amazon... +300,000 just in the US is my prediction, at least 250,000.

That being said, adoption rates of "conventional" consoles are well within historical norms, at least outside of Japan.

I very much agree; this gen is not really representative of yesteryear's console wars: exclusivity has become a very limited factor. Given the amount of chest-beating on the forums over exclusives, you'd think that there are many AAA exclusives. In actuality, there are very few AAA exclusives and far more A and AA exclusives. Beyond that, there is pronounced console library overlap. If the customer is only able to distinguish between two platforms (PS4/X1 and WiiU), then they are most likely going to only acknowledge them as two real options. The PS4 has been so comparatively successful to the X1 by leveraging the PS brand and more powerful hardware (The game libraries are basically the same.). Additionally, the stupendous success of the Wii lied at the intersection of a low pricepoint and a casual appeal. The WiiU is very much neither of those things, catering more to their dedicated fanbase. In comparison, it looks like the market is shrinking, but I think we are simply observing the effect of catering to a smaller section of the market.

I'm glad I caught you. Can you please start a new sales website, because I think this one is dying.

I second Binary Solo. I would nominate you for Most Intelligent User of VGC if there ever is a contest for that title.

I am sure Sony will. I don't think that they would abandon one of their own in house studios.

As I stated, that's if the market is shrinking. My concern stems from a gamer standpoint. If the market does shrink, then no matter how great a particular gen is, there is cause for concern.

Makeing good games does that :P
Look at some of the Wii U games and their scores ( good critic score = / = good sales).
Word of mouth > metacritic score by alot.
It all has to do with makeing a good game first and formost though. People need to be able to see reviews/gameplay videos and go "thats what I want".
