Well, they just keep dropping...

I just don't see how the XB1 can win this month. I know there are preorders but the PS4 dominance this month has been compelling. Even now, with Halo still leading, the PS4 is dominating the top 100 with 3 bundles for this month and 2 bundles for next month.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Depends on the pre-orders from August I guess.

I know but they weren't that high either. They were nothing like the Destiny bundle or the Black Ops/Star Wars bundles. I reckon Sony are going to widen the gap this Christmas.

It making #24 in August isnt that impressive considering the releases that month weren't that great. Until dawn, madden, rare replay, gears remastered. I think it should have charted better than that. 

It it also makes sense it didn't chart in September cause we had some pretty big releases that month with mgs, mad max, destiny the taken King bundle and nba 2k 16.

And now with ps4 price cut boost, I doubt Xbox got enough pre orders for that this month either. And it's already out of the top 20 after ps4 dominating all month. If Xbox does win, it'll be extremely close. If at all. 



It will be close but I think Ps4 will take it.

 Halo again in the top 20 and it's going down only because of Fifa being 39$ not becauase the demand it's low..............

Pretty much this and the yoshi amiibos.

I thought it was pretty obvious that was the reason they dropped positions, their demand didn't drop, just were beaten by products that were selling better. This happens all the time with sales and when products become available for preorder.

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. 

True.

Ok 1000+ messages already.
I think Phil comments about PS4 price drop actually backfired. Maybe Sony was really going for the price drop at PGW. But after his comment Sony might have decided to go early in the US. And the part of his comment, that might really be killing things for Xbox One right now, was saying that they have something in place for when Sony drops the price. So people might be like "ok Sony dropped the price, let us wait for those amazing deals and price cut that MS is going to do as a response".

Well considering the firesale they had last year, you'd have to think they would do the same again this year, and what with the comments phil made, I agree the users are going to be thinking, dont want to buy right now because its *bound* to go down. It was a massive error they made going so cheap last year to get up their numbers.

Update:

#21 XB1 Halo Bundle
#26 PS4 TLOUR Bundle
#30 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle
#47 PS4 Star Wars Bundle
#54 PS4 Black Ops Bundle
#75 PS4 Destiny Bundle
#85 XB1 Forza Bundle
#93 XB1 Gears Bundle

Halo dropped out of the top 20 again.



Amazon Best Sellers of 2015 has Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on position 68 while Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is on position 69.
That's insane. How can we rely on this chart?

Also, you can compare this xbox one SKU top http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/videogames/6469295011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_vg_1_3_last

to that  http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xbox-one/xbox-one-consoles/pcmcat303600050004.c?id=pcmcat303600050004

Absolutely different.
