Forums - Sales Discussion - Amazon U.S. November bestsellers and general Amazon-based discussion

I think the updates have taken place. For it's PS4>XBOs>Switch. XBOs flying up the yearlies.



Around the Network

Looks like the lists updated. XB1S is at #62. Definitely higher than I thought it would be. Of course, sales of everything will be slower at this point, so it'll probably rise much slower, now. The PS4S is still at #50, while the X slide down another spot to #56.

The S enters the Top 10 for monthlies, while the PS4 is at #6.



The monthlies have updated -and PS4 Slim fell one spot to 6th, while X1S climbed 7 spot she to 10th. What a rally.

That being said, all three did great this November + bf, something that couldn't be said for years. This is good for everyone involved. It also shows that consoles are still alive and well.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

The XB1S is now #62 on the 2017 rankings, which take into account sales up to yesterday. I tried to backtrack the thread to see how fast the PS4 rose. After 1 day, the PS4 hit #98 while the XB1S didn't enter the Top 100 after Thursday. After 2 days, the PS4 was very close behind the XB1X. I would guess after their respective sales began, the PS4 sold at a faster pace than the XB1S, but both sold very well regardless.

It should be noted that the PS4 was sold out before Thanksgiving on Amazon which will skew the perception of how well it's doing overall. Based on Benji and Abdiel's assessments, the PS4 had a lot of stock though even then, it sold out by the end of yesterday. Overall, I think the BF weekend will look like this:

XB1S > PS4 online
PS4 > XB1S on B&M

By the way, don't forget about cyber Monday. Online sales are better on that day rather than Black Friday.

So, November NPD period ends tomorrow right? If XB1 S manages to stay in stock that whole time and stays at #2 on hourly, it could be very close to PS4 Slim on the monthly charts after tomorrow's monthly chart update, unless PS4 Slim is restocked before then (doubt it will be restocked until Cyber Monday though). Once you factor in the XB1 X and Battlefield 1 bundle sales this month, as well as the XB1 X preorders from previous months, pretty safe to say XB1 will will take November on Amazon at least. Of course an Amazon victory doesn't necessarily mean XB1 will win NPD, the situation could have been different at retail stores and other online sites.

It ends today.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

The xb1s jumped atleast 38 spots in the yearlies, from under top 100 to #64. If they can maintain similar sales today, the PS4 slim is well within reach.

Yes, but CM won't count towards Nov NPD.  It will be put towards Dec.  I also expect Sony will give Amazon another shipment just for CM.  We may see a repeat of last year where PS4 won CM, which helped them towards winning Dec NPD, as well.

They aren't going to keep up similar sales to Thurs night and BF.  Right now, sales have slowed incredibly.  They'll pick back up Mon.

Yea, going by the insiders, plus what others have seen, I think we are going to see XBO win slightly online, but PS4 win big at B&M.  I'm hoping Sony also gets out another large shipment just for Cyber Monday.

If they had enough to jump 38+ spots on the yearly, they will jump 12 spots more with relative ease if sales keep up at #2.
