Both bloodbourne and TLOU are M rated, and very violent. It's not exactly the bundle you should buy an 8 or 10 year old.

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. 

Bloodborne is definitelt a system seller. Yes the PS4 WOULD be ahead but it wouldn't be THAT far ahead.



 

The PS5 Exists.

so is Amazon counting the BB bundle separate from the BB and PS4's individual SKUs? If so this is shocking. They have to be double counting or something. (ie when the bundle sells they count it for all 3 rankings)



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

I think they count the Bloodborne bundle sales towards Bloodborne itself (ie if someone buys the PS4 + TLoU + Bloodborne + $20 Gift Card bundle it also counts as 1 Bloodborne sale and as 1 PS4 sale), but the rest should all be seperate.

I would think not.

If that was the case ACU and black flag should have charted higher than the XB1 bundle over the holidays

Here's why I'm thinking what I said in my above comment. Go to the Bloodborne + TLoU bundle, you see this:

This leads me to believe that you're basically buying 2 different products at a discounted price from this page, and you don't see such thing at the XB1 Assassin's Creed and XB1 Master Chief Collection bundles, and also not at the PlayStation 4 with TLoU bundle.

Also, this is the current hourly charts:

#2 Bloodborne (No Arrow)
#4 PlayStation 4 (No Arrow)
#35 PlayStation 4 + Bloodborne Bundle (Green Arrow)
#47 Bloodborne Collectors Edition (Red Arrow)
#61 Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle (Red Arrow)
#62 Xbox One The Master Chief Collection Bundle (Red Arrow)
#95 Wii U Deluxe Set: Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land Bundle (Green Arrow)

PlayStation 4 and Bloodborne still beasting it, the two XB1 bundles getting as close as they can get with the The Master Chief Collection bundle possibly overtaking the Assassin's Creed bundle soon.

retailer versus manufactorers bundle. The AC Unity/MCC bundles are one product where at it appears Amazon is doing the BB bundle. Usually when they do a retailer bundle it is seperate.

I can't believe people still buy regular consoles, when there are great bundles at the same price. Can't be long until the Bloodborne bundle hits the top 10 either way, but I would have expected the regular to have dropped like a brick.
