We can't trust software positions on Amazon as much as we can hardware.

I still believe that Ratchet and Clank will sell considerably more than Quantum Break.

The movie should give the game a nice momentum weeks after its launch imo.

This will be my first R&C game, already preordered!

I guess if we start paying attention (or go through previous NPD top 10s and Amazon monthlies) we could see if Amazon is able to predict out of two exclusives in the same month, which will sell more? Problem is, there may not be too many months were both consoles have exclusives launching were they aren't in different leagues in terms of sales. April is the exception, were we have R&C and QB to compare. If Amazon is right, R&C should end up on top (looking at the yearly chart, because we are talking about pre-orders, so it's not only April that is important).

EDIT: For instance, in february 2015, Amazon correctly predicted MM3D>>The Order> MH4U. So it might not be completely useless.

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

PS4 CoD bundle: #19 (↑3)


And here's the initial Week 1 rankings:

PS4 CoD bundle: #11
XBO Quantum Break bundle: #78
XBO Name Your Game bundle: #94
XBO Gears bundle: #98


Well, for the first time ever, we don't have an XBO SKU ranking in the top 100 for the monthlies. However, as the weekly rankings show, that's probably not going to last long. Maybe.

Oh, and I decided to start updating the yearly rankings each Thursday when the new weekly rankings show up. That way there's something consistent for the yearlies. The New 3DS XL dropped 7 spots from where I updated the yearlies some time last week, and the PSVR has fallen out of the top 100 entirely.

Wow! Does anyone think the Gamestop trade in deal is having that much of an impact on Amazon charts? ($100 for 360/PS3 Slim models)
