I couldn't make it more than a minute into that video before my ears started bleeding. What was the joke supposed to be?

You only had to list for about 15 seconds and if you mute it you will still see it.  Look at the bottle.



11 hours since the last update:

#18 PS4 COD bundle (down 3)
#42 XB1 Gears bundle (down 2)



 

The PS5 Exists.

Just because I like to make correlations I will share the compiled data here.
Amazon Feb 2016
PS4 COD bundle: #13 (—)
XBO Gears bundle: #29 (↓1)
New 3DS XL: #69 (↓1)
XBO 3-game Holiday bundle: #87 (↓1)
N3DSXL Pokemon 20th Anniv. bundle: #91 (—)
N3DSXL Fire Emblem edition: #99 (↓5)

Amazon Feb 2015
PS4 10
XB1 11
Wii U 73
PS4 80
3DS 83

TLDR: Expect a bigger gap between PS4 and the rest.

Last year month for reference
Jan 2015
PS4: #9
XBO: #18
Jan 2016
PS4 COD bundle: #24
XBO Gears bundle: #48
New 3DS XL: #61

PS4 was up yoy despite 15 places down, XB1 was down 30 places and down YoY. 15 places differential with respect to shifts.
This month PS4 is down 3 places, expect to be up massively? XB1 is down 18 places, probably still down YoY. 15 places differential with respect to shifts. So I guess it might act the same as last month.

PS4 Jan 2016 Down 15 189k to 227k
XB1 Jan 2016 Down 30 150k to 130k
PS4 Feb 2016 Down 3 342k to ~370k
XB1 Feb 2016 Down 18 276k to ~251k

PS4 average up 10-20% yoy, XB1 average down 10-15% yoy. Idk about Worldwide but if true for worldwide would be a simple increase of 17.4m to ~19.1m (10%) shipments. 20% would exceed 20m.

Here's today's update to the monthly rankings:

PS4 CoD bundle: #24 (—)
XBO Gears bundle: #34 (↑1)
New 3DSXL Pokemon 20th Anniv. bundle: #90 (↓20)


And here's the initial Week 2 rankings:

PS4 CoD bundle: #33
XBO Gears bundle: #44


The 3DS is dropping like a rock. It's in danger of dropping out of the top 100 in the monthly rankings very soon, and it's not even in the top 100 for the current week. Of course, this should be expected since it hasn't shown up in the hourly rankings for days.

 

Firstly, it's new 3ds not new 3ds xl... Secondly, as expected, it's sold out ( aren't you observant?), what were you expecting?

Oh. Thanks for the correction.

That bundle may be sold out, but there are other SKUs. The regular black N3DSXL was on the charts for a good while last month, but even it's AWOL. The 3DS in general got a good boost with Pokemon and Fire Emblem, but now it's dead again on the charts.

 

Oh, I thought that you were referring just to the pokemon anniversary bundle.

Well, new 3ds xl was discounted by 25$ (in the whole time interval, that you mentioned), when it was perfoming well on amazon rankings, this has ended... ( this situation signalizes that  it needs an official price drop)

Only third party sellers have it, which usually sell it by order, they don't really, have stock (the overwhelming majority).  These third party sellers sell it by 100+ dollars up from the normal price... Filthy profiteers...

It's new 3ds and nintendo hasn't released it normally (NOA had stated that they wouldn't release it in the USA , just the xl version,  disgruntling many people, who were wanting the small version and weren't willing to settle for the big version.)

However, they started releasing it sporadically, bundled with a new game, with the game themed face plates but at  moderate amounts.

First,  it was back in september with animal crossing happy home designer, and as you know, recently with the first pokemon games for the 20th year anniversary.

It has been sold out everywhere , which is logic, new 3ds ( to whom, the demand is strong for obvious reasons, the dedicated thread about the newly bundle on gaf is extremely popular, and lately i read  tons of complaints by a lot of people who can't find it or it was hard to locate one.) combined with pokemon red and blue, blastoise & charizard faceplates for the special date, at a lower by 30 dollars price than the ACHHD bundle.



Please, Mods forgive me, there is a problem with my posts. ;(



The continuation of  my previous  post... ( for some reason, a part of my post above gets cut, maybe a mod can unify my posts, vgc on new 3ds xl is a nightmare, I guess it is on every mobile/handheld device)

Apparently, ninty didn't shipped a sufficient or as much as need amount, of a very desirable product as it seems, so it depleted fast.

I hope that they will replenish the stock (as far as I know, it's not a limited time bundle) or even better, finally to release standalone new 3ds at satisfying amounts.

Nintendo, underestimated the demand, they often do that... The joy of scalpers.

P.s
Something similar happens in Japan, but in new 3ds position is the dirt-cheap 2ds, which was released for the first time ever in japan after three years of the release in the rest world, with  the first pokemon games at four versions, each one colored acorrding to the color of  each pokemon version, and snes buttons. BOOM
