I really can't see a scenario now where the Switch doesn't win August. it is selling incredibly well.

this month is all about who's 2nd.

Scorpio release might be enough to give xbox 2nd place.

WHat? I think Xbox will be third place and one of the reasons is because of the XB1X.

Uhm, you do realize the XB1X is releasing in November, right?

Amazon put preorders up for it at like 4 in the morning under that name. I preordered 2 :) *high five* I nabbed two as well! This was the one time I'm glad I work at night.

Nice! I just got back from an MA program in Oxford so I've been waking up reaallyy early each morning (like one or two am), my wonky sleep schedule actually worked out for me, ha. Plus the 2nd one is going to be a Christmas present for my brother and his family so I'm glad to have that out of the way already.

If my memory serves me right this also happened with other consoles and hardware devices, it confuses the fuck out of me.

My understanding is that no other item has sold more in one hour, or multiple hours, that the 1X, still. That's why it's able to stay in its position.

The odd thing was that the ps4 gift card actually went up to no.1 after the SNES classic was taken down yesterday and now slipped back into no.2, even though the x hasn't had any stock since Sunday. Who knows what weird algorithm they use.

Yeah weird. The NES obvious sold more than the 1X so that's why it went straight to number 1. But now the 1X is back up with no stock? Unless the gift card is now selling less than the 1X the reason why it dropped to 2nd? But that still wouldn't make sense if it's based on hourly sales and the gift card sold more than 1X to get number 1 yet fell to 2 below an item not selling anything an hour? Did Amazon randomly get more stock in?

lol i give up.

 

New switch stock in Japan, should see the effect next week.
