Yeah, it's going to take a few days for Amazon to settle back to normal, the Xbox in particular had a crazy Prime day sale (it's also why the Oculus rift is so high as well).

The Rift got a $400 price for the whole summer.

It had a $100 Amazon gift card thrown on top of the price cut on prime day.

Unfortunate. XBox has been helping to spearhead some stuff that's good for the industry.

Software sales consoles.  It's not surprising really. 

Here's to Microsoft getting their software up to snuff.

Wow this is getting out of hand.

Lets get the facts straight oke?
Switch is selling amazing and its NOT 24/7 out of stock.

Switch is a new gen for Nintendo they abandoned the wiiu,new game system means a lot of sales.

Switch most wanted system or nr1?

Here are the facts.
Switch 4-6 mill?
Ps4 60+mill

Even if somehow a mainline Pokemon makes sure the switch outsells a then what 5-6 year old system does it Matter? It still won't outsell the ps4.

Ps5 will be around the corner.
Jesus stop the freaking crying about a couple ofmonths of good sales.

Switch and ps4 being ontop is amazing.

No, man, a new system doesnt mean great sales. If you look up, you will see PS4's 1st year was actually the year it sold less (it's selling much better now). If you also look at Wii U, you will see it did bad early on despite being a new system.

And it doesn't even make sense to compare PS4's 60m vs Switch's 5m (or so) because one is on the market for 3 years and a half now. By your logic, when PS5 comes out, like you say, it's PS5 that will be in disadvantage and having to catch up to Switch. lol It doesn't work like this.

Just chill, there's no need to be so stressed.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I'm happy to see 2 PS4 Pros in the top 100.

Here's the update to the monthly rankings (rank shift represents two days worth of change):

PS4 Uncharted 4 bundle: #1 (↑19)
XBO 500GB (plus Ghost Recon & Amazon gift card): #5 (new entry)
Switch (grey): #7 (↓4)
Switch (neon): #11 (↑6)
XBO 1TB Halo Wars 2 bundle: #26 (new entry)
PS4 Pro 1TB Destiny 2 bundle: #88 (new entry)
PS4 Pro: #92 (↓30)
New 3DS XL (Galaxy): #97 (re-entry)

Colour me surprised.

Before this primeday, I was pretty sure Switch was going to take this months NPD.

Also Surprised that Xbox seems to be doing well, when its been months since it seemed that way.

What the hell happened? When I looked at monthly less then 24 hours ago PS4 was 11th.

I know PS4 was at the top of hourly when I looked too but didn't expect it to rise to 1st.

Yeah.  Just didn't have enough stock.  Very sad.

What are Microsoft promoting in their console pic? What IS 4K Ultra HD? It can't be the Blu-ray player because that is also mentioned right next to it. So what is it?

It also comes first on the list, a position usually associated with games.

Yeah ...



 

The PS5 Exists.
