So the ranking gap between SW and Gears actually grew.. Told you this week was not that big, specially online. X1 being ahead had no real effect. Also why hourlies are mere indicators and weekly+monthly matter the most
Without those stock issues only felt online the SW bundle would still be #1 on monthly, and it's assuredly still the #1 item across stores in the US.

BTW COD bundle already well ahead of Gears now.

3 hours since last update:

#25 PS4 Black Ops 3 Standard Bundle (up 5)
#27 XB1 Gears Bundle (down 2)
#38 PS4 Star Wars Standard Bundle (up 8)
#70 N3DS Black (up 6)
#77 PS4 Fool's Edition (same)

PS4 - 4 bundles, 3 in the top 100
XB1 - 8 bundles, 1 in the top 100



 

The PS5 Exists.

Although this is my complete guess, I think XB1 is going to hit rock bottom this January. XB1 were relying on the "best lineup in history" to give them some momentum into 2016 but it just hasn't happened. MS are going to need to keep that $300 price tag to keep good sales through the "off season" and compete with a $350 PS4. I think this is why they want to try for the "best lineup in history" again in 2016 and and keep people interested.

It might look rosy for MS right now in the US but I'm not sure where they can go from here.

Just wow really.    And this is how you know Sony is winning.  I can't even remember the last time I saw a vinilla Xbox One.  I really can't.

I think Microsoft learned their lesson with the "Day One" Xbox One. 

It looked so bad that you could easily find this SKU well past 6 months after launch.

They are mixing the SKU's with smaller shipments to let them sell out quickly.

So now that we have price parity again PS4 is still outselling X1 on hourlies with at leat 2:1 margin. Besides that the whole week with PS4 being pretty lower haven't even scratched the monthlies and barely had impact on weekly? That is some crazy things.

And I'm glad Gribble wisened up =p joking

The Gears of War BC deal is valid for 2 more days, I think.

I don't exactly  know how long it last but if it didn't end already it should end sometime soon. I'm wondering what would be the main bundle from now on, or will they continue the promotion for gears.
