Wow. Pokemon is going to have a monster opening... Wonder if Pogo has helped a little. Hope they don't have a shortage of NS in march.

I really hope Sun and Moon get a Switch port, the franchise looks like it's on a bit of a rise again. It's a win win for Nintendo, helps sell their new system and get all that money from the double dippers

Did pokémon just sell out on Amazon? That almost never happens for games!!!

Well that's a load of shit!

Anybody that comes here saying "The pro is not doing too hot. Sony should pack in cod infinite/modern warfare in with the pro for 349 to get it shifting." should be asked questions with everything pointing at great sales. What does he have to back this up? His opinion is going against the grain with nothing to back it up.

When a known troll pops up saying it "Pro sales suck", nothing to back it up, what do you think he's trying to do?

It's not rocket science and I believe you choose to not see it. Just my OPINION!

Such a silly time to release Dishonoured 2

It was blatant trolling. Not sure why we were moderated. I also just realized he sent me a friend request lol.

In case it wasn't clear enough when I said it just over an hour ago:

Just a reminder that this is the Amazon Best-Sellers thread, not a thread to discuss your moderations or the behaviors of other users. If you take the conversation off of discussing the OP and its related topics you will be moderated for derailing.

I honestly don't care how frustrating it is to deal with other users you dislike, the report function and the PM system exists for a reason. Do not fill a thread about sales discussion with talk about other users and their motives or why you feel like you shouldn't have been banned. This is not the place for it. All it does is hurt the continuity of discussion for everyone else who wants to participate.

This is the last time I'm going to reiterate myself.

It's better if people provide more than just saying "Pro is doing great!" or "Pro is not doing too hot". Supplementing those statements with things like assessments from people who work at retail, leaked numbers, or best-selling charts is more productive. And yeah, that takes some work, but there's a fundamental difference between stating an opinion and stating an opinion with supporting evidence.

For instance, I think the Pro is doing well. It's currently #10 on the hourly charts and has quickly risen on the yearly charts. Abdiel also had this to say on GAF:

"Today was pretty great for the Pro. Sony sent us excellent shipments across all of my district, with more than enough for all each store's preorders, and then plenty of extra stock. We also had consistent interest throughout the day as people were coming in with active questions and regular purchasers. Almost all preorders were picked up at my home store before the end of the day. 

I can't give actual numbers, but it definitely exceeded my initial expectations for the system. Very, very positive initial reception, with excellent momentum to build off of.

As to Black Friday ahead - Our deals aren't really as exciting for the console front as some of the others (No gift cards, eh...) However, anyone buying a Slim PS4 would have 3 physical games they could sell (our trade in value for R+C and TLOU isn't much, but maybe elsewhere?), or just having 3 games in general is still a pretty solid start for $249. I have still stood by my statement that Sony should drop a newer, more exciting Slim bundle, and they'll see more core just general interest in it, but it seems that might be right after Black Friday, like how we saw with the Battlefront bundles last year, they'll roll out new stuff, probably a CoD bundle. Seems like the best course.

Our XBOS offering is pretty generic, but I'm sure we'll clear inventory on both. We just need plenty of stock."

Thanks, I was just thinking about Abdiel and started to look for his comments in some of the Pro threads
