#23 PS4 | Batman
#29 XBO | MCC
#56 PS4
#60 WU
#69 XBO | 500gb
#80 XBO | 1TB

Good boost for XBO recently... seem is at PS4 level or a bit under, but very close.
Even WU get a nice boost recently.


That just shows how the Amazon Prime day deals are altering the chart.

Different quantities.

The fact that the Xbox One bundle didn't even sell out (even though it was practically all day) is probably more telling.

Man those Xbox deals are crazy.  Free games everywhere. They are going to need a price drop to compete this holiday.

This whole sale was weird.  They pulled the PS4 deal off in a flash or way before it expired. People on Neogaf are saying they were waiting for it and it was pulled to fast.... Why would they do that? Was it selling to fast?

For all we know they had 30 PS4 on offer at that price and soon as they went it ended or could of been 200. Same going for the X1 we dont know how many were on offer.

The US amazon offers for consoels have been timed compared to amazon UK that have had a 24 hour deal on both Xbox One and PS4 that are still ongoing.

So you just answered your question on why some deals bump things more than others.

OPs updated with current monthly rankings and final Week 2 rankings.

Here's the initial rankings for Week 3 (as of Wednesday @4:52 PM EDT):

PS4 Batman bundle: #13
XBO 500GB MCC bundle: #30
New 3DS XL: #47
Wii U: #80

The 1TB XBO appears to have dropped off the face of the planet in the weeklies. Only those four SKUs are showing up at the moment. Considering it's one each of the PS4 & XBO, maybe they're consolidating SKUs for the weeklies? Of course, this is the first time the weekly rankings have had issues with certain SKUs not showing up when they really probably should.

The Xbox One 500 GB had your choice of free batman, free controller and assasin creed, or Xbox Live. These extra deals for the 500GB probably just ended up canablizing the 1TB sales. With the prime deal, we should see the 1TB returning.

There is also the monthly change.

Ignore this.

I dont think it will. I think this is just making it cloudy, when actually PS4 has been on the whole selling more on amazon. If we extrapolate that into what's happening on the high street, then all today is doing is making it look closer than it is?
