Ass Creed bundle (hence forth known as the undying) has over taken MCC once again in the hourly... I don't really understand whats up with that...

Oh nevermind... they Ass Creed bundle is being offered with a live card at 389.99 which explains the boost to both.


How many AC deals has Amazon given? Surely this is costing someone in potential revenue...

I guarantee you they aren't "fake" shipping.  In order to that, they would have to put companies down for shipments they didn't ask for, which will get them in enormous trouble.  I mean, it's possible but since MS knows they are under scrutiny from outside due to their size, I doubt anyone in the company would risk that.

i meant specifically 'shipping' to retailers. What would shipping over sea to storage be called?

Oh you mean like moving the assets internally from one warehouse near the manufacturing house to another MS warehouse.  That really wouldn't be anything to report.  Shipments refers to actual sale of assets from MS to some third party distributor, that's what gets reported.  There have been cases of companies moving product to a warehouse, putting a company down for the shipment until the end of the quarter, then canceling the shipment as a "mistake" after the quarterly report was already out in order to inflate sales.  But that's illegal.

I am reading a lot of back and forth about how much Microsoft shipped of the Ass Creed bundle and the answer is basically enough to pass what Sony had sold.  Microsoft's plan was to offer a good deal combined with Halo and to make sure they had enough stock to pass Sony.  So, its safe to assume that at the end of 2014, there was an excess of at least 700k bundles. 

So the issue is that in the US during the holidays:  In order for microsoft to overtake Sony, the minimum requirement is to have AT LEAST enough stock to do so.  Microsoft had to pad their supply by at least 1.2 million ON TOP of whatever Sony sold in November and December and it is only reasonable to assume that that is exactly what they did.

Amazon first started off with offering Wolfenstein: The New Order and a free controller during the last week of February. Then, it changed to just a free controller at the beginning of March.

For a while Amazon was offering the AC bundle with COD: AW for $349 and has since changed to the package we're seeing now.

Each new offer adds and breif additonal boost.

Well, it's hard for the ps4 to gain rank when it's out of stock.

Holy Shit... the base PS4 actually ran out of stock.  Wow.



I just checked and there are actually no PS4's being sold by Amazon. If you want to get a PS4 from that site, you have to buy from a 3rd party seller.



Bloodborne finally leaving the front page, it was a good run...

Now to wait for NPD to see how much did it sold, and then to wait who knows how much time to know the world wide sales.
