I can open up the gamestop list. How does it work? Do I stop at the first 100 items?

Same problem as yesterday, can somebody please send me the Gamestop numbers (via PM if possible)

BTW I noticed at Best buy that for the first time they give a free game with the $299 Switch (Mario + rabbits). Nintendo must have noticed that demand was kind of slowing this month.

Have you tried a free proxy in order to go to Gamestop ? Just select from a US proxy in the list:

I had one, but it was just a demo which expired since. Downloading that one now, but I'll take jason's offer for tonight and will test the VPN you linked tomorrow. Thx for the VPN btw, could really use some sometimes.

At 200 for Gamestop due to non-gaming items cluttering their list. Link is in the OP.

Since it's not numbered, you'll have to count the positions manually, note them down and then send them to me via PM

It stinks and I'll tell you why. The sources you take as a reference have nothing to do with each other. Amazon is a digital store, but it does not reflect market sentiment. The other two, their main source of income, are physical sales.  Their online sales are not representative.

Of course the sources are not perfect, but they are the best that we have. Unless of course, you have better sources?

If you got better sources, feel free to point them out.

In the meanwhile, this thread has a pretty good track record so far, so for now it will continue the way it is.

Some interesting details at Best buy

2 (-) - Nintendo Switch Neon - 2 (+3) - 299.00$ Includes a $59 free game (Mario & Rabbits) which is why it gained 3 spots. As I said it's the first time ever they give a free game with a Switch at Best buy.  Demand is slowing down.

At Amazon.com:

5 (-) - Playstation 4 Pro 1TB - 76 (+23) - Third Party only
6 (-2) - XBox One X 1 Tb - 88 (+2) - 482.00$

Pro is also fulfilled by Amazon at the minimum price of $520. Around $38 more than the XBX.  There is a clear thirst for Pros because of shortage.




3rd party sellers should not be counted since they aren't sold by Amazon.

An interesting month, for sure. September and October are in the bag for PS4, November is for anyone to take and December is in the bag for Switch. Going to be an interesting race from here on out.



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 ignored this thread for months, because I was extremely skeptical like you.  It turns out the results of this tool are surprisingly accurate.

I have to give mad props to Symbios63 and anyone else who contributed to the creation of this tool.  It is working far better than I ever thought it would.
