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.

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.

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).

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
