Not at all but it should be noted Amazon is still unlikely to be a good representation of the difference between XB1 and PS4 sales currently

Not really, considering that the top 3 are all just PlayStation Store Gift Cards.
No. Being #4 behind PSN cards isn't a bad sign plus that best sellers list is updated hourly..PS4 is still #2 for 2014 and #1 for the month of march. That doesn't really mean anything though since Amazon is only one online retailer and doesn't necessarily reflect how an item is doing at other retailers.
How do you check top sellers monthly ?
Off course it's not a good representation, but every time they were in stock it shot up to number 1 and it stayed there until it sold out.
Thanks dude.
It was number 1 when it became in stock,remember its been instock the whole month this time.
PSN cards will continue to be top sellers as people buy more systems.

Change 2014 tor 2014-03 (for March).
Eg.
2014: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014/videogames/
2014, March: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-03/videogames/
2014, March, Week Ending 24: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-03-24/videogames/
You can change the week +-7.
BTW the PS4 is the top seller (number 1) in March at Amazon... it outsold the PSN Cards.

Supply clearly seems to be stabilizing at least at present. We've heard that shipments to stores are also increasingly becoming more stable.
As it stands PS4 is still the highest selling item in videogames on Amazon for the month of March. As Peter Moore once said it's hard to be better than number 1
Just because at the present hour some PS network cards are selling better than the PS4 tells us little in the scope of things. Now if that was the TF bundle than we'd have something of interest to discuss
I'm confused, if both Infamous and Titanfall released in March, why is Infamous outselling Titanfall for March but Titanfall is outselling Infamous for the year?

Might be that Amazon counts Titanfall pre-orders as sales for the month they were taken.
Hence Titanfall could be far more heavily pre-ordered

Preorders. Same reason you see unreleased games charting.
I suspect a lot of Titanfall sales are from bundles, and I'm not entirely convinced we're getting legit splits between the Xbone and PC versions when hearing about sales numbers.
Which numbers?

He confirmed Xbox 360 numbers and XB1 numbers for Feb NPD
Am i seeing it correctly.. Infamous is higher than TitanFall for month of March.. I know its only one online retailer, but still i remember it was quite a bit behind Titanfall few days back, around 2 - 3 places.
The physical copy yes ( remember theirs the digital version in the TF XB1 bundle)
they can't do that. because if the price is much lower than the retail " bulk price " the current shops paying MS for, then these stores will get the systems from those local market " shipping wont be an issue in terms of costs and it will effect the sales where the xbox one prices are high.
i believe Sony and Microsoft both have international warranty

Don't know about Microsoft but Sony has European warranty so consoles imported from USA don't have it.
The reason being that Sony is shipping absolutely everything they can manufacture, but the demand is even higher. It's not that easy to ramp up production, as you have to commit to it for a minimum of one year.

daily not monthly
edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. That can't be right, full month?... :S
It is.
PS4 is first because was the first big retailer with stock online in March.

Well.... shiiiiiiet.
I know it's just Amazon but we can usually expect similar across the board in NA.
Dat March shipment.
They will announce "shipped" since Xbox looks like it will ride on shipped. End of fiscal year right? We have to hear something.
Amazon is not a good indication of overall sales.

Did you tell him?
I know people keep saying this, but every month since launch whichever console was first on Amazon was also first in sales. Last month the overall gap wasn't as big as Amazon ranking would of suggested but I think that had to do with Ps4 being the only console that couldn't benefit from the spike in sales from income tax returns.
Last year, the earnings were released/announced on May 9th. So, with some 'bad' luck, it will take 5-6 weeks before we know how many units they shipped until March 31.
I guess, by then, we'll already have new numbers that exceed the shipped numbers.

I'm still holding on to possibly 20m before the year is over.
The holidays alone around 2-3 million so.
Destiny will push some consoles too.

Even if there was still a high demand there's no way they'd produce that much.
not gonna happen, not enough factories to produce that many consoles

I don't think Sony will be able to produce more than 12-15mil a year.
Lol XD
Tell your friend to get Killzone instead, it has a much better SP campaign than Titanfall...
It's better to look around for a PS4 and cancel your preoder if you find one if you're Dutch. For instance, you can still order the Infamous bundle @ Bart Smit right now and you should get it on Tuesday. Seems like a lot of stores got stock on Friday, both unbundled and with Infamous. I didn't pre order anywhere and I'm getting my Infamous bundle on Thurday.
Ouch. I had something similar happen with a roommate. After a Titanfall commercial he was like "dude we seriously need to get a PS4 to play this" and I was like well, you see? Slight problem there haha
