And you see why with the X presales. They were waiting on it.
Quoting with an edit of myself from another thread:
There really hasn't been enticing S bundles this year TBH. They had a Forza Horizon bundle and a halo wars 2 bundle. Those aren't gonna be major sellers
I just bought an S bundle from Amazon yesterday for $250 that had Ghost Recon Wildlands Gold Edition, Halo 5, Forza 6 and Recore.

GameStop is like 35%. Walmart is ~25%, Target and Best Buy combined are ~25% and Amazon ~10%. Those 5 retailers are 95% of the market.
Damn, that makes people wishing the death of Gamestop even more shocking to me.No, I think GameStop is still king.
Holy fuck that is a screaming deal.
Fo shizzle. Amen.It's almost as bad as crying on Twitter that you're happy people who you believe are bias got banned.
It's gonna sell out but not at great quantities. i wanna say the expensive halo 5 bundle sold under 100k in October 2015Super curious to see what the X1 Minecraft edition does. Even at 399.
Most of the buyers probably already have a standard Xbox One...so chances are you are wrong!

Good to see them get there so quickly. Hopefully it keeps going. Would love to see this kind of hardware refresh become the norm.
I bet they do too. They fucked up big time and have been trying to crawl out of the hole since.I wish they did this in 2013 instead of selling people a weaker console for a $100 more than PS4 because of the silly Kinect.
Well, judging by those ridiculous eBay auctions, a lot of people may just be banking on an early inventory shortage to try to make a buck.
Plus, Amazon doesn't charge for until the item ships, so those pre-orders can easily get cancelled. A more serious metric might be a channel like Best Buy, which holds the funds immediately (I know, because I got my pre-order at Best Buy).
That's cool I guess?
I actually thought it would be something impressive like in the top 10 or something.
But wow...Can't believe someone scrolled all the way down to find this factoid.
I mean, don't most of us just kinda stop after the top 20-30 results?
You need to go down to 60-70 range and than 90-100 for these consoles to show up.
Kinda sad for both.
No one is surprised at you pretending the Pro hasn't sold well.
Huh?
What are you even talking about? Wasn't it revealed last year that the percentage of Pro sales under the PS4 banner was only like 10-15% or something during the Nov/Dec rush?
The base models of both these models are going to be the bigger sellers but base One owners have way more reason to upgrade than base PS4 owners do. That's not really up for debate. Which explains why the pre-orders are high.
It's only Amazon, so does it honestly mean much? Should Amazon numbers be considered an indication for other retailers allowing XB1X preorders?
The limited Halo 5 bundle sold 93K, and that was $499 I think. I don't see 100K of those Minecraft bundles being sold in October.It's gonna sell out but not at great quantities. i wanna say the expensive halo 5 bundle sold under 100k in October 2015
of course xbox fans are begging for a powerful console since xbox one launch, how many years? tomb raider seems pretty good tho.
Console rankings:
6: Switch Grey
9: PS4 Slim
20. Switch Neon
23. NES Classic (?)
66. Xbox One X
90. PS4 Pro
Wait a minute. So they are comparing early adopters pre order numbers for X1X against...what exactly? 8 months of PS4 Pro sales? I would much rather see the pre order comparisons. Early adopters for anything can make it seem like something is going to sell well.
PlayStation 4 continues to be a sales success story for Sony, so if the Xbox One X has managed to outpace the total 2017 Amazon US sales of PS4 Pro in mere days, that can only be interpreted as good news for Microsoft.
No One S in sight. Not looking good for Xbox.
It is a weird thing, because the PS4 was already the most powerful console. And I think it was a confusing poorly marketed half step by Sony to even have a more powerful system.
A year later more people have 4K television sets or are planning to buy one in the near future. MS has been promoting at least to the hardcore this updated version for a year. And that is before any actual push on television or even through YouTube ads and the such before the actual launch in November.
It feels more like a successor to the Xbox One I think then an upgrade. And they get that marketing line of most powerful console.
Not sure if these numbers will hold up, but I imagine the PS4 will still be the go to Sony SKU, while the Xbox X will significantly outsell the Xbox One S.
Does Sony even advertise the Pro? Lol I feel like they just throw it out there as another option without really putting it in your face like Msft and their "Most Powerful yadda yadda"
I would hope Msft is outselling the Pro since thats all Msft is advertising these days lol
