With only 1 place separating them in February and the gap being so tight in March amazon's winstreak is going to be severely tested.

Abdiel and TheShogun confirmed that the PS4 sold better than the X1 in their districts. That AC bundle + Wolfenstein + 2nd controller deal was only offered on Amazon, so the fact that the PS4 still finished ahead for February despite the deal will preserve Amazon's streak for another month

PS4 will win Feb by a safe%. In fact all Amazon only XB1 deals almost ruined the streak, had the deals started a day or 2 sooner XB1 may have passed PS4 but the PS4 is going to win by at least 40 to 50k. The fact the PS4 is ahead of the XB1 in March despite the fact the XB1 is essentially 100 dollars cheap (2nd controller is pretty much required and right now they are tossing in a 2nd for the XB1) is telling. That deal is only with Amazon, the gap must be wider in all other retailers.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

And with Bloodborne plus type o on top of that you'd expect an easy March victory too.

I also think that MLB:TS will inspire more sales too. A game doesn't just start to inspire sales on the day it releases, it usually creates a buzz a week or so earlier and then people buy the console in anticipation.



 

The PS5 Exists.

And don't forget Toukiden Kiwami! :3

Yep, although I think the three games mentioned with give the PS4 a little bigger boost :)

I don't think it's just the postions we should be considering when we look at Amazon, we should also consider the likelihood of the PS4 having more stock to sell simply because it's the best selling console.

I never expected FF to rank this high 2 weeks before release. It was also number 55 on Feb best seller charts. It seems like XV demo is helping it a lot.


FF15 can be huge!

That is pretty much guaranteed. Main FF games always do great. XIII did more than 7.3m, and it wasn't exactly loved. The franchise has grown a lot outside the main regions. X did 330K in the "rest of the world" while XIII did 700K. That roles out the decline in Japan.

I think XV can reach X numbers, 8m LT.



I'm go to say that PS4 will outsell XBO in Feb NPD by neary 90k.
PS4: 310,000
XBO: 225,000

3DS disagree.
