This is just not a strong enough position for the XB1 to overturn what the PS4 did in the first half of October. It really is going to come down to preorders.

#17 XB1 Halo Bundle*
#19 PS4 TLOUR Bundle*
#29 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle*
#38 PS4 Star Wars Bundle
#45 PS4 Black Ops Bundle
#77 PS4 Destiny Bundle*
#78 XB1 Forza Bundle*
#88 XB1 Gears Bundle*

*Affect this month

PS4 6 bundles, 5 in the top 100
Xb1 9 bundles, 3 in the top 100


you guys should remember that the first 3 days of octobor wont count in NPD, they will be counted towards September NPD. while Amazon will count them towards Oct monthly rankings.

 

so PS4 has been in the lead for 14 days, not 17. the XB1 has 14 days to make up the lost ground, until the 31st of Oct. 



While everyone is fixated on the X1 and PS4 battling it out in the high teens, it should be noted that currently at the #3 and #4 spot are the pink and light blue yarn Yoshi Amiibo. Just to keep things in perspective

Ditto.



So the first week of october the PS4 outsold the X1 more than 4 to 1 on amazon?



Just another 48 hours till they ship the Halo 5 Consoles and then it can piss off down the list again.

Just kidding :P

Exciting to see where this goes, does it have legs? My wine sure does.... #shitpeoplesaywhendrinkingwine

At some points it was 5:1 but youhave to remember that 2 of those PS4 bundles don't count towards this month. It was constantly fluctuating between 3:1 and 2:1 for quite some time and then settled at 2:1 for most of the time until now. Having 1 bundle at the top isn't going to offset those earlier losses so it HAS to come down to preorders now. There are only 2 places difference between the top PS4 bundle and the top XB1 bundle whilsts for the first part of the month, when the PS4 was dominating, there were sometimes 40/50 places. I really can't see the Forza bundle or the Madden bundle competing for the top 20 ahead of the PS4 bundles.



 

The PS5 Exists.
