Xbox One re-overtakes PS4 on Amazon bestseller charts


Recommended Posts

Mcvuk - What a difference a day makes.

Earlier this month Xbox One was tracking ahead of PS4 in Amazon?s video games bestselling charts. Then E3 happened and everything changed.

Just hours after Sony?s victorious E3 press event Sony?s machine overtook Microsoft?s amid stories of cancelled pre-orders.

Now, just hours after Microsoft announced that it is ditching its internet and DRM requirements, public opinion seems to be swaying back in Microsoft?s favour.

The ?429 Xbox One Day One Edition is currently the second best selling item in the video games section behind Sony?s PS3 title The Last of Us. PS4 has been relegated to third.

The highest ranked next-gen game is Watch Dogs on PS4 in eight followed by the Xbox One version of Call of Duty Ghosts in 13th, Battlefield 4 on Xbox One in 14th and Xbox One Exclusive Forza 5 in 17th.

They were in front of the PS4 at the beginning of the day well before the announcement, at least in the US.  Though it's probably due to the fact that there are now at least 3 PS4 SKUs to choose from and only one Xbox One SKU.

Even before there were 3, and not to mention those 3 are all around the same price as a Xbox One, the X1 was locked in the #2 spot.  Now with the DRM change, since I checked a hour or so ago, it's in #1 with Last of Us in #2.  

 recent transactions that is all ,

but really these numbers do not mean anthing at all both systems will sell side by side just like the 360 and ps3 are right this second 

 

nothing new here 

the amazon list tracks sales over the last 24 hours. you could have sold a boatload 36 hours ago,and none in the last 24 hours,and your ranked would be lower. Microsoft sold out 4 hours after e3, then their rank started dropping. This list means nothing.

So why did all PS fan boys have street parties and celebrations when the PS4 overtook the Xbox on Amazon then if it means nothing?

Contradictions.

There was a street party?! Damnit, where was my invite?

But but teh internet cry babies werent going to buy it anyways!!!! 

Seriously as little faith I have in the Amazon best sellers list, I would expect a significant amount of people did place preorders after all the horrible restrictions were lifted. Still too expensive for me to consider, but its a start.

it's seems to polls are only true when they support the fanboy's choice.

 

I'll still be getting an xbox one while hoping they will bring back the disc-less play and digital trade-in/selling along with gamily sharing.

I might just end up buying all my games digitally so I could have that disc-less play which would make it much faster and easier to switch between games (almost instantly)


 

bwaahahahahahahah. that's just rich

It's a weird one, when I've been looking around I've actually seen a lot of people cancelling pre-orders as well due to the loss of digital game sharing. Swings and roundabouts.

The PS4 started dropping in the Amazon charts when Sony decided they'd sold enough of the base $399 models and started doing $499 SKUs with one game and some PS+.

$499 is a really good deal for one game and I'm assuming one year of ps+.. $60 game and $60 ps plus.. That's a Damn find price at only $100 more.

Keep the good news coming sony.

I don't doubt it's a good deal but one could argue that you're getting quite a bit for $499 with the Xbox One SKU as well.  Kinect, if you like it or not, is part of the deal and that's probably easily at least $100 on it's own.  They're also giving you exclusive content for launch games as well iirc.   Maybe some other little things to.

$20 off (going by your numbers) is "a really good deal"? I can get $20 off any day on PS4 at Target (not now obviously).

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
