No its February after the price cut from October. Some people waited until their taxes. SFV is a bonus though.

 

Edit: Last year PS4 was consistently in top 10 and ended the month at 10 and apparently PS4 is only at 24 this year. It ends up selling the same or more with that rank due to more software and amiibos ahead of it, but a #5 in the hourly suggests more interest from the price cut+taxes combo then last year.

It could be both because of taxes and SFV. But i don't see any XB1 consoles going up?

Looks like people are buying PS4's for SFV. BO3 bundle with SFV is a good deal.

Thats what I was getting at in my post above.  Sony is attaching COD and Street Fighte together. 
I missed that post. That's a perfect reasoning. Sony have been playing all their cards right.

XB1 is doing quite poorly, last year they had the re-pricecut for 2nd half of January. Meaning retailers could advertise the price once again for Feb tax season.

Meanwhile, the COD bundle has gone Super super Saiyan on Amazon up to number 5 so it seems like another advantage to the COD bundle is crossing interests.  So for example, it must be Street Fighter 5 and what not boosting the PS4.  So, PS4 sales go up and those Street Fighte fans have to get the COD bundle because... it the only thing around, and now those gamers are exposed to COD... and its DLC...

But, you are also forgetting that there is no other bundle right now so if they stopped selling it there would be a standalone PS4 for $350 and an Xbox One with Gears and two othe new games and free gift cards for $300... Yes a SFV bundle would be nice but since that isn't possible, COD is the only choice until Uncharted comes along and we will probably get a $350 Uncharted bundle as well.   Only seems natural.

The reason there is no other bundle is exactly what I'm talking about.

There should be a Street Fighter bundle pushed right now replacing the CoD bundle, CoD itself is a non-factor anymore, that's what I'm saying, Street Fighter software sales are already pushing that bundle, was there a Street Fighter bundle being pushed and BO phased out it would be selling just as much as this one.

CoD should have been phased out already for a Street Fighter bundle before it's Uncharted time.

That was a missed opportunity.

You keep saying phazed out like there isn't a contract that states how many units must be bundled.   Like Sony can just stop making them because thats how business works.  Like they are going to just take a loss on the copies they paid for.   Come on we are adults and we have exposure to business and how things work.  Also, I would like to respectfully disagree with your statement that CoD itself is a non-factor.  Its still the biggest factor.  I agree that Street fighter should have a bundle.   But also remember that Uncharted was orignially supposed to launch in March so a Street Fighter bundle might have been cutting it close.   So yes, its a missed opportunity at this point.
