Poor Knack, always forgotten :(

Nothing gives: All of the SKUs (yes even the Knack bundle) have been selling well when they were available and even broke the 2013 overall lists for Amazon, they just evidently didn't stock that many before as they quickly fell back off it once they ran out of stock.

PS4 has been creaming the XBONE left and right on Amazon US (e.g. YTD: PS4 launch day - 3, XBONE launch day - 6, PS4 standard - 42, XBONE standard - N/A), it's just more popular among early adopters.

Since nobody gave you a proper answer I will. Sony allocated more units to Amazon for them to sell. They are probably confident that they can fulfil all the existing preorders they have so are allowing more preorders to come in.

Do you people routinely check these lists or what?

When their system is the only one in stock and selling rapidly, yes. When the Xbox One was outselling the PS4 for a while (after DRM announcement, and prior to being sold out in three locations completely), there were absolutely no sell threads.

Sony made a good first impression unlike at the beginning of the last gen, and thus it's paying off so far.

Agreed. The change in Playstation's leadership was the best decision Sony has made I think. Take the last time they launched a console, E3 2006. It was a trainwreck for them, now compare that to E3 2013.

The PS4 standard edition is at top 10 while the xbox one standard edition is at like 45.

And here's why: the only launch systems currently for preorder on Amazon are the bundles. A very, very large amount of people who are buying a PS4 are doing it for the price. They are all buying the standard box thinking it's a launch preorder. Where was the PS4's standard edition at prior to the "PS4s are back in stock" announcement? They think they will be getting it before the holidays, so they're buying out for themselves, their kids, and their wallet. Now shut up, and run along.

When did x1 ever sell more preorders than PS4? I think your mistaken. The only reason I could see why you would say this is looking at sales for the X1 having one SKU and PS4 having multiple (more than 5 or so if you look at all the bundles)

Since nobody gave you a proper answer I will. Sony allocated more units to Amazon for them to sell. They are probably confident that they can fulfil all the existing preorders they have so are allowing more preorders to come in.

That doesn't answer the question. Frankly, no one can answer the question because it hasn't been released. Sony doesn't know how many launch consoles will be available, hell they haven't even given a release date yet. All these pre-order sales threads are just stupid, especially given the fact that cows were claiming pre-orders =/= sales not that long ago.

Not according to cows when the XOne had a high amount of pre-orders. Since the PS4 seems to be in high pre-order demand, pre-orders suddenly count.

The first allotments of PS4 launch editions were sold out on day 1... The ONE sold out 6 weeks AFTER the first PS4 launch editions did. Oh yeah, and the PS4 launch editions had higher allotment numbers than the day 1 xbox ONEs.

The original PS4 bundles were also sold-out quite some time ago. Amazon just recently began selling them again after getting higher allotments.

So the Amazon best sellers of PS4 day 1 edition at #3 (Which sold out in 10 hours) while xbox ONE day 1 at #6 (Which sold out in 6 weeks) is false?

That's a whole lot of shit without any proof. The launch edition has been sold out about 3-4 days after it was released. Since then the normal version has been in the top 25.

No one is talking about bundles. The single PS4 launch sold out very quickly.

I don't know, I just see people in denial for some reason.

Pretty hard to miss this, "Shipping date based on availability. This product is not guaranteed at release date."

I am no fanboy and I am buying both systems, but I would love it if the Xbox One pulls an Obama and outsells the ps4 this November. The faces of these riddiclous Sony fans would be just as hilarious as the Mitt Romney supporters on election night ha ha.

Pulls an Obama?

Last year's election. Everyone was saying the Mitt Romney (in this case the ps4) had the election in the bag MONTHS before the election actually took place, with President Obama's ( in this case the Xbox One) low approval ratings etc. Then here comes election night 2012 and everyone thinks that Obama is gonna lose, and then things turn in his favor and he wins, much to the suprise of Mitt Romney and his supporters. Their reaction was HILARIOUS that night. So I was making that comparison to the Xbox One and Ps4 sales.

It's actually not hard at all. You'll see when Sony (and Xbox, but probably not on the same scale) get a lot of flak this holiday season.

Everyone was saying the Mitt Romney (in this case the ps4) had the election in the bag MONTHS before the election actually took place, with President Obama's ( in this case the Xbox One) low approval ratings etc. Then here comes election night 2012 and everyone thinks that Obama is gonna lose, and then things turn in his favor and he wins, much to the suprise of Mitt Romney and his supporters. Their reaction was HILARIOUS that night. So I was making that comparison to the Xbox One and Ps4 sales.

Never saw one poll saying Obama wouldn't win.

 

Multiple polls assumed that romney would win because of the momentum he had from that first debate.This continued untl hurricane sandy hit and they were in a virtual tie or obama had a slight lead in the polls then.Obama then crushed Romney on election night.Thie comparision that user makes is working in this case.

Shewgenja

XBox One Launch Editions were sold out before the PS4 launch edition. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Console-Day/dp/B00CMQTVK0/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1374773695&sr=1-2&keywords=xbox+one+launch+edition The PS4 bundle editions have not sold out. Every time I've checked them, they are in stock.

I am no fanboy and I am buying both systems, but I would love it if the Xbox One pulls an Obama and outsells the ps4 this November. The faces of these riddiclous Sony fans would be just as hilarious as the Mitt Romney supporters on election night ha ha.

Pulls an Obama?

Last year's election. Everyone was saying the Mitt Romney (in this case the ps4) had the election in the bag MONTHS before the election actually took place, with President Obama's ( in this case the Xbox One) low approval ratings etc. Then here comes election night 2012 and everyone thinks that Obama is gonna lose, and then things turn in his favor and he wins, much to the suprise of Mitt Romney and his supporters. Their reaction was HILARIOUS that night. So I was making that comparison to the Xbox One and Ps4 sales.

Well if by everyone you mean people with blinders on, then sure. Your thought that "everyone" was calling it for Romney when really just about everyone except for the "unskewed" poll sites weren't does nothing to give me any confidence that you'll be laughing come launch day.

Nice edit there. Also note that it's #1 vs. #6 for XBONE. :)

Feels like 1998 all over again - Sony rolling in with new Hardware and taking over the Video Game world.

Do you people routinely check these lists or what?

PS4TrumpsXbox1
When their system is the only one in stock and selling rapidly, yes. When the Xbox One was outselling the PS4 for a while (after DRM announcement, and prior to being sold out in three locations completely), there were absolutely no sell threads.

When did x1 ever sell more preorders than PS4? I think your mistaken. The only reason I could see why you would say this is looking at sales for the X1 having one SKU and PS4 having multiple (more than 5 or so if you look at all the bundles)

For a while, Xbox One was coming in under number 4, some days number 1, while the PS4 (same day) was at 14-16. It was the week after the policy reversal.

Only in the hourly charts, it never went higher than the PS4 did in the 2013 YTD charts.
