Are we at record breaking amount of comments for an Amazon thread yet? Can't be far away?!?
Halo 5 dropped to 2nd now.

It really is and was that simple. Why are people wanting to change it? Amazon has been wrong once, people on here knew it and people on Gaf knew it but now all of a sudden Amazon was never wrong because of 'a', 'b' and 'c'. We're now changing the goalposts and have taken the fun out of this thread. It's now nothing more than constant speculation without a defining result because no result is defining, just a reason to find out how to make Amazon look right when it was wrong. It was always simple and therefore 'fun': Whoever was at the top of the monthlies was Amazon's prediction of who won the month. It's been wrong once so far (well it used to be wrong once but now we can make it right). |
It was always simple because the matter was simple. It was simple because 1 or 2 bundles always dominated and not 20. That's why Amazon was right so often because the metrics were simple and whichever bundle was first won because there was not much else.
Now we have so many bundles watering down everything that it would be ludicrous to hang on to the same concept. Then it's not simple fun anymore but dumbing down for tradition's sake. To say that Amazon "predicts" X1 as the winner just because it's in first place no matter how many PS4 bundles follow is not fun. It's stubborn for the sake of being stubborn.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
Praise the Amazon overlords, the mighty gift card dislodged Halo from #1
I am having such a laugh at the comments on this thread lol. I really feel like PS4 has the month and maybe be announced the NPD winner.
Now time to play with some "assumed" numbers : It has been said that Destiny last year is ahead of Halo 5 this year in term of pre orders. Destiny on September NPD 2014 which is 5 weeks is at 538 K. Now let us assume that Halo might be tracking behind but other bundles are making up for the differences: So if we take the avg for September and put it for October (4 weeks) we have October Month for Xbox One around 410 K.
Last year Xbox One on October has 168 K, that is almost 150% increase year over year.
Now the PS4 had last year 297k. We have seen what price cut does in the US before so I will say a 40% increase because of price cut year over year for the PS4, that would put the PS4 between 415-416k.
Even "assumed" numbers make this month difficult to call lol
Gribble, in the past two years (roughly), there haven't been this many SKUs that have sold notable amounts, and even though there have been multiple SKUs in the chart, it has, by and large, been dominated by one SKU from each console, and as a result, all you've needed to look at was the top SKU. But when you have several bundles charting rather high and rather close, then you have to try and weigh the rankings against eachother. If you don't want to do so, then fine, but I'll continue with my way (which, FYI I haven't changed. As soon as MS introduced several XBO SKUs there was always talk about how the rankings weighed up to eachother).
