Quote from: Kerotan on Nov 29, 2015, 06:46 PMSo if it holds another 6 hours or so it's doing very well.

Yeah, I don't know how far behind the hourly chart is but I was expecting it to have dropped off already. If it stays in the top 5 before it gets boosted again I'd say that's mighty impressive

A $350 bundle that is essentially selling three games from a popular franchise is probably an attractive enough option to stay ahead of a $300 bundle selling one game from another popular franchise for awhile during the holiday rush. Also, and I didn't even notice this until now, Gears of War is a $40 game ($20 on Amazon right now) which makes any equally priced bundles giving a $60 game away for free look better by comparison. Though the NDC is selling for $50 on Amazon right now that still means you save $30 by comparison.

Yeah but all the time it was $350 it was $299 at Walmart and Gamestop, anyone who bought it during that time was stupid and wasted $50. Actually, this is amazon US we are talking about.... hmmm ... it may stay up there after all

It is a very good deal but the people buying consoles at this time of year only really care about price

Amazon top 100 hourly update (PS4 v XB1)

#1 PS4 NDC Physical (0) (back to $299 again!)
#5 XB1 Gears (0) (now $299)
#24 XB1 1TB 3 Games (+2) (now $349)
#27 PS4 SW (+3)
#58 PS4 COD LE (-1) (out of stock)

And still it holds

And all those people can get their 50 back once they dropped the price back down. They'll just have to talk to amazon about it. No big deal.

I think XBO and PS4 are doing better than I expected.

XBO 1 mil plus! PS4 1.5 mil plus! No doom!!!!!

Raven · Nov 29, 2015, 08:23 PM

Where do you see the PS4 at for sold through by the end of the year? Considering it was already over 30 million by November 22nd.

I can't decide whether the disaster that was October points to a bad holiday or whether people were just holding off for November way more than usual.

I want to say Xb1 just scrapes 1 mil and PS4 gets 1.3-1.4mil

34.5-35M

The Uncharted NDC Physical bundle is at #71 on the amazon 2015 chart.

That is only 2 places behind the top WiiU SKU for the year... and only behind the standard PS4 and XB1 ACU bundle

dang son, that must mean spot one and 5 is a humongous gap between sale. I always thought the closer to number 1 the closer the sales numbers would be.

Yeah, the gap between the NDC bundle and Gears bundle must have been massive, Gears was #4 for most of BF too. I wonder how much other retailers relate to this. If they're similar then we could be in for some PS4 domination come NPD
