I keep telling people that Wiiu sold out at launch too. I want to sales 4-6 months after launch and after the holidays and compare them to the previous consoles numbers in the same time frame.

Last 2 games score a 9 and a 8.5, but let me guess you only play games 9.5 and higher? I preordered the new game, cant wait.

The Xbox One is currently number one on the CURRENT best sellers list. The list you have showing is of 2013 as a whole. It has been there for the last few days as the PS4 bundles have dropped in position. Not that that means anything overall. Other than you are skewing things to favor your arguement. http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=vg_homepage_quicklinks_bestsellers?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-leftnav&pf_rd_r=86E36770B5614197BB9F&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1567748922&pf_rd_i=468642

They wont because even tough the xbox one is doing a lot better now, the ps4 has overall still more pre orders than the xbox one in amazon.com

And lets not forget the Ps4 is slaughtering the xbox one in Europe

this is not about consoles, this is about the u.s. bashing. there r 150mil gamers in the u.s. both consoles sold in the 70mil+ range (allegedly) while the number 1 selling console this gen (wii) sold more than 100mil. with that said, the US is easily the largest market in the world hands down. and if one of these companies can capitalize on the wii fans who didnt buy the wii u, that could easily put them in the 60-70mil range right there. especially now that the US market has recovered quite a bit over the last 2 years.

It doesn't matter guys! Both the x1 and ps4 will have great success. No matter what system you chose you are gonna get some good games for it. I was a 360/ps3 owner this gen, but for next gen I think I will be a one console guy. I don't really have the time or money to upkeep TWO gaming consoles and online subscription fees l. Plus after owning both a 360 and ps3 it was really redundant and almost a waste of cash to own both.

it really is when u consider most of the exclusives have similar games on both consoles. and now that sony is charging for online, it might be one or the other for a lot of people that owned both.

Cool story bro. But there are multiple bundles in the top 10 for ps4... But who really cares? Buy which ever one you like best! djshowstopper87
Plus a large majority of the preorders happened at or around E3. I was told Amazon charts are based bi-daily.

So, by looking at the proper numbers it is "skewing" things?! Seriously?!

Yes. I am not arguing that one is ahead of the other on total sales. My point is it is the One is the top selling item on one chart, current sales, and the PS4 is ahead on another chart which is the 2013 overall sales. To say either is incorrect and presenting one as absolute is skewing the information to your favor. The same could be said in another's favor. The One has sold 100,000 on one sku and the PS4 10,000 on each sku. Im not going to present that one is actually outselling the other because its pointless. There is no way to know. The console sales are not going to come down to Amazon. We need to wait and see what the launch numbers actually are. When they do system Wars will go crazy and fan boys will actually have real numbers to back it up. I could care less who sells more but arguing lists of who's ahead on that one list proves nothing because no real numbers back it up. Also when you look at the 2013 overall sales the One is behind at #6 and the sold out PS4 bundle ahead at #2 but all the other available PS4 bundles are not even on the top 20. Does that mean sales of the PS4 have drastically died down? Maybe on Amazon but I guarantee its selling great everywhere.

So here's what that site omits. That listing is ranked hourly. So for that hour, Xbox One was the No. 1 sale in gaming. But they did't mention PS4 has four bundles on that list. Furthermore, how can we say Xbox is leading the sales war when there are no unit numbers attached to the list? Xbox One could be selling 200k, but the PS4 bundles could be selling 50k each and thus PS4 would be blowing the Xbox One out. Yet there's no numbers, so we can't judge anything. Then consider, the best sellers of the entire year (not updated hourly) has a PSN card at No. 1 and PS4 at No. 2. Xbox One isn't even in the top five. http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2013/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar/191-5056984-6494501 In conclusion: These articles are nothing but click bait for fanboys who are desperate for "ownage".

Exactly both can be used by fan boys. Both are true. Both mean nothing until numbers back them up.

On top of that, to treat Amazon as the end-all be-all of game sales is just plain stupid. GameStop and Best Buy will sell just as many units as Amazon, yet we don't know their sales numbers, so any claims of ownage via Amazon's "hourly" and "yearly" list is just ignorant and desperate. Wait for the consoles to launch, wait for NPD (LOL NPD) to give hardware retail sales in December and frankly, just enjoy the ride to next gen.

Another point I have brought up. Dedicated video game stores will sell a crap ton of systems. Nothing means crap until numbers are released. I love the my GameStop sold x systems of PS4 and x systems of the One lol threads. They are going to sell as many pre orders as they can as it puts money in their pockets. Retailers small and big could care less about pushing one over the other. It's all about the money.

You know this how? All we can deduce from the links is that on one list one is ahead and on the other list another is ahead. There is no telling of how many are sold. That's the point. The charts say nothing about hard numbers. They will continue to sell up until launch and them when the real numbers hit fan boys can start claiming ownage.

I think it is pretty hilarious that people are blindly pre purchasing these expensive things without any real hands-on experience or official reviews.. They are basically buying the sh!t that both companies are peddling them like a used car salesmen.

I will own both. Why? Both systems will have games I want to play. I am a tech junkie I want the newest toys. Both systems will have great games regardless of sales.

what you guys dont get is that even tho ps4 has 4 bundles in the top 10, the xbox is only selling the limit edition and its been holding steady at #1. there is no way to know if its selling at 8x's 10x's the amount of ps4's. Xbox one is selling, its a good thing, but overall they are lacking behind because of all the bad publicity. I think at launch we can have a better feel for who is going to come out of the gates strong. Looks like SONY right now, but alot can change. in other news xbox one is vastly more sophisiticated than PS4.

:| It's not about their sales it's whether the hardware will have defects or numerous other problems.. I am a tech junkie too, but I don't blindly buy sh!t with out hands on time and reading people's takes on it prior to purchase.. Seriously do people not test drive a car before they buy it?

You're right it has nothing to do with sales. Just like you're original post. It's off topic and had nothing to add. I will respond once more though. Problems can be there with any new tech. What we do know is both systems will have their games. Both will have their heavy hitters. We can take what has been shown and roll with that. A new system doesn't need a test drive because we know the games will be there. Now the reliability is a different issue but again that could be said about anything. With a car you need to see how it drives. They can have reliability issues. With an integrated amp you listen before buying. They can have reliability issues. With a new system you buy it for the games. They can have reliability issues. You take a risk with reliability on any product. You base a system off whether the games coming are what you like. I would rather buy it and go by my own thoughts of the product over waiting for someone else opinions. Anyway to use your analogy I will test drive them for myself not let another person do it for me. If I don't like one I am out a few hundred as opposed to $40,000 with a car.

Lol Really because I was at GameStop today and they had 31 Xbone pre-orders and 6 PS4 pre-orders.

That's probably because M$ caters more to a casual audience. With the directions these brands are going, System Wars are becoming rather pointless. I really don't give a shit who sells more as long as the console I buy does well and sees me as their target consumer. It doesn't have to appeal to everybody including those under five years old.

I was being sarcastic. My point was those types of post are stupid. No retailer is going to say no to someone willing to put down money regardless of what system and that in both cases it's just a fanboy making up numbers.
