Quote from: GribbleGrunger on Oct 14, 2016, 04:46 PM300k? No idea really. I can't believe we've even had a mod over at VGC say he couldn't understand why people put some much stock in Amazon ...

*snap*

I see, he's probably been waiting 2 years to say that lol.

Yeah week one. Sony said they've sold many hundreds of thousands. Even if that's shipped and with demand so high, there shouldn't be many sitting on shelves.

Link to that quote? Many hundreds of thousands would be crazy.

PSVR: Sony Ramping Up Production To Meet Demand

First paragraph

Hundreds of thousands is insane. That would likely mean PSVR has close to half the market of Vive/Oculus/PSVR.
It's a different picture with all the headsets, but with the serious ones... those are huge sales.

I think I've worked out why September Amazon was so far out. We know that a lot of xbox fans are going to upgrade and the best place to do that is brick and mortar stores. This could also be why the Xbox sales have dipped on Amazon as cheaper secondhand XB1s are flooding stores and eBay.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. I think you're likely right. Evidently the Amazon charts have been whacky since the start of Oct. Nothing convenient about that of course ...

I've just found out the Halo Bundle is being sold at all retailers except Amazon and the Halo Bundle was the bundle that sold best for the XB1. That could well be one of the main factors for Amazon being wrong last month. I'm now not entirely sure the PS4 will take this month.

The way the Pro fluctuates between #26 and #28 shows (to me) that it's definitely reached the point in the charts where the software is stopping it rising any further. I'm confident now that if it wasn't for all the compelling software at the moment, ALL the console on Amazon would be at least 10 places higher. The question now is, if the Halo Bundle was on Amazon would it be above the Fool's Edition? For me, that's the deciding factor to decide who wins this month.
