Why are the pokemon games so high right now? Kinda surprised actually. This is without the demo coming out yet (or even the game still a month away)

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.

Yeah that's spot on

There was a bit of sarcasm in my previous post though.

Well Pokemon Go, despite having slowed down to a more normal pace, still no eoubt helped stir up interest in the brand. Plus...it's Pokemon. Plus, its the furst real, true 3D Pokémon. XY and ORAS had 3D graphics, but Sun and Moon is actually more in line with a true 3D game. And many (myself included) have been wanting that since freaking Pokemon Coliseum:P

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.

PS4 Slim with Fifa is killing everything over here tbh, Pro is doing good but Slim is a fucking monster.

are people really not buying the Xbox One S 1TB Console - Gears of War 4 Bundle on amazon? It does not make any sense it doesn't chart really... I'm led to believe amazon Xbox ranking is completely broken...
It seems the Xbox one is doing very well from other retailers.. if it continue ranking like it is now from other retailers the next week..I'm giving x1 to win October.

Praise the One.

Something is seriously wrong with this. Somebody mentioned before it hasn't got a ranking at all. It looks like Amazon have messed up the Gears 4 bundle. This explains the lack of XB1 bundles in top 100. Hopefully it corrects itself and at least makes an appearance in the monthly otherwise we might have to write off this month. I'd imagine the Gears 4 1TB bundle will be a big seller until the Battlefield bundle gets into full swing.

If you're a smart consumer you'd go for the Gears Special edition, or one of the 500GB options. Cheaper to buy your own storage separately.

It seems to be bugged, the game isn't ranked at all, it isn't even outside the Top 100.
