Seriusly, what's happen with Bayonetta? :O again in TOP 100...


What is the specialty if a game enters 100? It sold horribly. The game didnt do well business wise.

That's why i'm surprised, i didn't expect a game that sold bad in TOP 100 after 8 month...

When a game goes from 400-300 to top 100, that's a rather sudden spike.  Probably just a discount of some sort being offered or just new Wii U owners grabbing the better games on the console.  He was merely expressing surprise, no need to be a jerk over it.

Updated Week 4 numbers:

PS4 TLOU Bundle: #15
XBO MCC Bundle: #44
Wii U: #46
XBO ACC Bundle: #55
XBO Standalone: #68
PS4 Standalone: Get your shit in gear Amazon and find out why it's not being listed outside the hourly chart

Wow. The PS4 TLOU bundle continues rising, Xbox is sliding, and the Wii U shoots up into the 40s.

Updated monthly standings:

PS4 TLOU Bundle: #22
XBO ACC Bundle: #28
XBO MCC Bundle: #37
Wii U: #56

The PS4 TLOU bundle and the Wii U both rise two spots. The XBO MCC bundle slides one spot.

As of the current hour (2:17 PM Eastern time) the hourly charts read as follows:

Amiibo: *cha-ching!* $$$
PS4 TLOU Bundle: #37
XBO ACC Bundle: #49
PS4 Standalone: #54
Wii U: #66
XBO MCC Bundle: #83
XBO MCC Bundle (white): #92

Nintendo must be making a killing off of those Amiibos.

Anywho, some interesting rankings, especially here at the end of the month. NPD is probably going to be quite interesting again. Will the XBO squeak out a victory, or will the PS4 take back the top spot. Will the Wii U go back to being up YoY after April broke the streak? Who knew Q2 could be so interesting?


Is there a $150 off trade-in special for the X1 for May?

If yes, then maybe X1 has a shot

If no, then X1 has 0.00% chance of winning

0.00% chance?

buy the way. this 150$ off promo from gamestop, was the frist time for the xb1 (correct me, if im wrong)
before that, gamestop run the same promo several different months for the ps4

im curious, how that affected ps4 sales



but even if we take out the 30% gamestop marketshare in this discussion, amazon is showing xb1 "ahead"
and we know, that the ps4 is in general stronger at amazon compared to the overall total market.


even without the promo, ill give the xb1 a 50% winning chance.
and whoever wins, it will be close by a low margin

Eh, Amazon rankings for month : PS4 ahead.

The deal for X1 was also much better than the previous deal for PS4 :

$175 X1 : http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-buy-a-new-xbox-one-for-175/1100-6426937/

$275 PS4 : https://games.yahoo.com/news/buy-ps4-275-194900387.html

I do think the margin will be low, because like last month, sales will be terrible.

Is it me or does the splatoon Wii U boost look real as hell right now?

Hard to say with all the Amiibos+pricecuts on certain things jumbling the top 50.  But it does seem quite possible.  One thing's for sure:  Splatoon is holding its relative position really well.  So far, looks like a great start.

Now all we need is that long long LONG overdue $50 pricecut on the Wii U, hopefully at E3.  It would do them wonders at least for the Summer and help push momentum for the fall.

I wasn't aware of theses deals.

MS is showing real desperation in their own land...
