Ranks for the current week (March 23-29) are up:

PS4: #11
XBO (MCC): #62
XBO (ACU): #83

I think this is gonna be a rough month for XBO sales. It has been up 7% YoY so far, but March may be down without a Titanfall equivalent, and that could drag total Q1 sales down from last Q1. Not good considering it's $150 cheaper now.

 

Thanks Shadow! Speaking of the weekly numbers, how did you get them? I ask this for future reference. Thanks in advance!

While I'm not Shadow. The old numbers were posted publicaly by Newegg. The new numbers are gathered using trig on cream's pie charts. Hope that helps.

Trig on cream's pie charts? Hmmm... either way. Thanks in advance. One final question. Do you know what fiscal quarter we are in? I was under the suspicion that we were in the final one of the 2014 year.

Basically he releases a pie chart. The ranking order is gathered from press statements. One posts numbers, or numbers can be derived from a press released. Using the pie chart and the ranking, you can calculate the other numbers with accuracy. You could also do it using probability based on the pie chart and information you know. Either way, you get the same result.

Each companies quarterly can be at different times. You can use the stock market code on your favorite stock holder site to find when a companies financials start.

No problemo. I don't even remember how I found out that Amazon tracks weekly sales. It may have been one of these threads. Anywho, since Teeqoz hadn't updated the OP for Week 4 yet, I figured I'd check myself. I just clicked the link for week 3 of March, added 7 to the day, and presto, the URL for week 4:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2015-03-23/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar

So, for the week starting today (March 30), just take the above URL and replace the 23 with a 30. They generally don't have the new week's numbers until Wednesday-ish, but Amazon's sales weeks always start on Mondays.

 

Ah! Thanks in advance!

So now we have basic PS4 at 4, Bloodborne Bundle at 33 and the top Xb one sku at 60.

Wow the Ps4 still fourth with the BB bundle at 33nd. That just seems unreal.

Bloodborne bundle being behind basic PS4 seems unreal. But perhaps people are a little slow on the up take.

Naw, I think that the PS4 sales by itself.  It hard to really decipher whats happening here, but I am willing to bet that the PS4 would still be in the lead without Bloodborne.
