For a console coming out next month, the ps4 pro is struggling to break the top 10 or even 20 on amazon best seller list. Don't think it will do to hot when it launches, people know scorpio is coming.

If that's the logic you're going to use to suggest the Pro won't do well then you'd have to note, up until a couple of days ago, the XB1 struggled to get into the top 80 and even now only sits are 65. This is a prime example of biased interpretation from you, as per usual.

I think we will have a better idea of PS4 pro sales with yearly chart, and not monthly... Let's make PS4 in my Yearly chart list, cause looks like is now obvius Battlefield won't show, and is unlucky CoD will since there are only 3 weeks from the launch.

3 Days since last update:


#21 / Pokémon Moon (same)
#22 / Pokémon Sun (same)
#43 / Pokémon Sun+Moon (same)
#99 / PS4 Pro (up 1)

Yeah sure he has to do more disappearing acts than Houdini now and then out of embarassment of some of predictions but let's not scare him away because this is way better than watching comedy central.

His first post,

"The x1 will sell this amount with no problem by the end of 2014 calender. Titanfall alone should shift around 4 million x1 consoles and Sunset overdrive+Halo+quantum break will sell the rest. The ps4 in that time span should shift around 12 million. "

And he hasn't let us down with the comedy value since.

We try to have rational conversations in this thread and regardless of whether out interpretations of the data differs, we don't just post random nonsense. Some people are just opportunists and instead of following the thread properly and therefore forming an opinion based on 'trends', they just look at the data and draw from it what they need to draw from it. These are the people that drive me nuts. When you see Jason or Barney post, they are at least drawing conclusions based on what trends they think are actually there. That's why I respect them. I'd sooner do without the comedy to be honest, it's a pointless distraction and draws in more of those with a similar characteristic.

SOFTWARE (pre-orders only)
#04 3DS Pokemon Moon (same)
#05 3DS Pokemon Sun (same)
#55 PS4 World Of Final Fantasy (same)

PS4: 4 in the top 100 / 1 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10
XB1: 1 in the top 100 / 0 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10

Now it's getting interesting! First we have to take into consideration that for nearly 2 weeks 3 - 4 PS4 SKUs have been above XB1 SKUs. Then we have to take into consideration for most of those 2 weeks the XB1 SKUs got no higher than #80. So the PS4 will have built up quite a lead over those two weeks. The question is, can ONE XB1 SKU (if it stays above PS4 SKUs that affect this month) make up ground before the end of the month? The Pro has clearly been fluctuating between #25 and #28 which indicates it was indeed stronger software sales holding it below the top 20. IF the XB1 Battlefield Bundle can reach the top #20 then this HAS to indicate it's selling better (at this point) than any of the 4 PS4 SKUs originally dominating. Depending how long it holds a spot in the top 20 (if it gets there) will decide my prediction for this month.

Oh ive notcied that the MS store is offering an OG xbox One with Gears 4.



I expect the 500gb battlefield 1 Xbox to start hitting these charts pretty soon. I'd bet that's going to do quite a bit better than the 1tb model, even if it is grey :)

Looks like the rest of the year is going to playstation, which isn't a huge upset, in my country (The Netherlands) the Fifa bundles where selling well for both Playstation and Xbox One but people don't seem to be buying the gears of war or battlefield bundle.

They are both just quite expensive in comparison the Fifa 17+XBox one S 500Gb was 277,- and many offered a copy of mafia or gears of war 4 if you paid 319,-.

When the Gears of war 1TB or Battlefield 1TB costs 349,- here, and people also find the battlefield 1 bundle "ugly" since its military green :P

I think the same is kind of happening in the US, last month there where a lot of deals and all the good bundles did really well and the bundles on sale right now are just not as attractive so most people are either waiting for a better deal or already bought one.

And since the better deals will proberbly not arrive this month, PS4 will take the rest of the year, the PS4 Pro pre orders have been doing well for many weeks and that increase cannot be stopped by any stretch of the imagination.
