Oh so basically Sony undershipped?

That would be the case if it was sold out everywhere, not only on Amazon.
Amazon has understimated the sales and got a lower stock than they should (which can still have been a big stock).

Sony has nothing to do with it, they can't force retailers to buy the amount they want to sell, the retailers are the ones that judge what they can sell and buy that amount from Sony to sell on their stores.

I based the undershipment based on how fast the game is out of stock on Amazon even though the game isn't going to do even 1 million FW plus when I picked up the game day one, Wal-Mart only have 4 copies.

Well yeah, it wasn't Sony. It was the store who ordered less than I think they should but I guess that also happens because pre orders wasn't great.

Yes but the gap in the charts is pretty massive. R&C at #23 and QB at #62. Also it's leading on every other online retailer chart.

Well, if it's not very reliable the gap isn't to be taken as much proof.
I'm pretty sure it did well, it had a great reception both critics and players wise, so it'll be nice to look up to it's sales, but I'm not taking Amazon SW rankings as enough to make my assumption of R&C > QB.

It's not just Amazon.

I want to see the impact that this new bundle has. Hopefully it is a good one for the XB1. Which I need to pick up...along with my PS4 lol.

The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Looks like the holiday bundle with Halo added. GameStop is offering $200 if you trade in a PS4 towards a Xbox One, and vice versa. Don't know how long it lasts, I think I read till the end of April. Will be an interesting NDP for April I think
