Who whould believe anything said from a VRP such a Spencer ?

Woah so the SW bundle, not discounted during CM, sold more than the Gears bundle which includes 300 dollar CM sales.. (Week 1 ranking)

4 hours since last update:

#03 PS4 Star Wars Standard Bundle (same)
#05 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle (same)
#38 XB1 Gears Bundle (same)
#44 N3DS (down 1)
#63 WU Mario Kart Bundle (up 5)
#70 XB1 Three Games Bundle (down 1)
#100 N3DS Red (re-entry)

PS4 - 4 bundles, 2 in the top 100
XB1 - 7 bundles, 2 in the top 100

XB1 Deals:
All Bundles Reduced By ($50)

PS4 Deals:
Star Wars Bundle + Digital Copy Of Star Wars 1 Comic ($300)
Nathan Drake Bundle ($300)
Nathan Drake Bundle + Fallout 4 ($360)
Nathan Drake Bundle + Star Wars ($358)

WiiU/3DS Deals:
N3DSXL ($175)

That $50 price drop across the board doesn't seem to have had much off an effect on the XB1.

It takes a few hours
It also took some time for the PS4 to really make the jump on Sunday.

A little premature to make that statement gg.

It's a cut across the board Guys. It's not as if consumers have to be informed of certain deals, all they have to do is want a console. I expected an earlier response but of course it will (or should) improve tomorrow.

Edit: I'm losing track of time here. At what time was the cut?

About 4 am PT. I give it until tomorrow before we see real results... I think.

Thanks. For some reason I thought it went down yesterday.

So, let's say the worst thing happens, from the Amazon chart followers perpective, and Amazon ends up being wrong about the NPD result. Although Amazon has been technically wrong twice this generation, both times it was clear before NPD came out that Amazon would probably be wrong: Oct had Halo 5 pre-orders to take into account. April had 2 Xb one skus very close to the PS4 sku, clearly indicating a likely Xb one win. This time round there is nothing on the Amazon charts that would sugest a Xb one win, and given pre-orders favour PS4 for November a Xb one win would be an even bigger disaster for Amazonians than being wrong in a month where hardware pre-orders are not a factor.

Can we continue to realistically sustain an Amazon thread in the face of such a result? Should this thread be more holistic and keep tabs on all online best seller charts through the month as a means for predicting the outcome of NPD?

Or am I being a pessimist and NPD will once again show Amazon is still the most reliable indicator of the NPD hardware winner?
