Video Game Sales Thread

Forza bombed as expected.  It's been milked dry.  

Destiny had massive digital sales so it in fact did good.

There's so many great PS4 deals going on in the UK right now. PS4 1TB with fifa 16 steelbook for £299 on amazon, which is the 500GB standard RRP. Pretty good. There's loads more too. Amazon US and UK really pushing PS4 right now!

I like the way we're going to get 2 media creates in 5.

Will make for interesting discussions.  

I believe these 2 are important.  We'll get an idea of Mario makers legs and splatoons post MM.

And we will see what the new wii u baseline next Wednesday.  

Ps4 I guess will plummet but these are the last 2 media creates before its price cut?

I'm expecting 15k Wii u and 13k ps4 to be honest also
I have this game preordered and hope it suceeds!


I'll bite an dog if it fails(seriously).

Would you not expect ps4 to be a lot lower?

This is a way to gauge how many customers pay attention to mainstream media. As far as I know they weren't advertising the price drop at this point in the retail stores. Plus it has like half a week before the announcement.

I wonder if what's going on Amazon is representative of the rest of the market. Remember, Amazon only makes up 5% of the marketshare while Gamestop holds nearly half. Walmart comes in 2nd and Best Buy in 3rd.

That said, really impressive that 4 PS4 SKUs are above the first XBO SKU.

Most likely, amazon hast been been wrong with console placement yet.

Most likely, amazon hast been been wrong with console placement yet.

The only exception was April 2015 but in that case the PS4 was neck and neck with the X1 AC bundle but then another X1 sku wasn't far behind.

5% is a good enough sample size to get a feel for where the market is.

It wasn't there when I checked this morning and then suddenly it appeared on the list a couple hours later.

Nope. I looked three times before I posted. The first time was me browsing the hourly which prompted me to make a post about it. The second time I was looking through it as I was making the post. Then a third time to make one last check before I posted. That bundle was not in the top 100 early this morning.
