Amazon is TINY compared to giants like GameStop and Wal-Mart for NPD.
Yup.
And don't get hung up on what I said guys. I'm not saying Xbox won anything. I'm just saying its had healthy sales.

I am glad that consumers have finally come to appreciate the balanced, working man's graphics of the Xbone.
2013 (Nov. and Dec.) was a virtual dead heat in terms of console sales IIRC. For 2013 Amazon had PS4 as the #6 best seller and Xbox One as #19. I still think PS4 will win this month easily, but I wouldn't necessarily trust Amazon sales rankings.Are you honestly in the belief that people who purchase Playstation 4s are more likely to use an online retailer? Because even if they are only a "small part", the whole ratio doesn't go out the window because of it.

Nothing compares to Wal-Mart
But is GameStop really ahead of Amazon?

This got a good laugh out of me, haha!He's simply high, its the only explanation

The biggest part of NPD. 30% share.
Are you honestly of the belief that online shopping for consoles is anywhere near the percentage of console retail sales? Because they arent.....
Andrew House and Shawn Layden knows.
Not us.
I didn't even know they were off course :/As a Sony fan, I actually hope this is true. I feel like they are taking their lead for granted and need a swift kick in the ass to correct course.
It doesn't have to be in order to be valuable data.
We've been over this pages ago.

I don't care either way which sells more but what was his reasoning behind his prediction?
Can you demonstrate this with some number or maybe a pie chart?
MMM, pie...
Hopefully true and Sony is forced to drop the price. I'd like to pick up a PS4.
Eh it can be somewhat useful in seeing overall trends but is a very poor method to try and actually assess sales units or percentage differences. Either way I have no horse in this race and I'm not picking "winners" for September other than both PS4 and Xbox One sales were solid.
Ouch, that stings.And working games. ;-)
lol Sony ain't gonna drop the price over one month of sales. They are still doing fantastic regardless of what MS does.
And I wouldn't be surprised if MS comes close, or even passes, PS4 sales eventually. It's going to be close in North America, it always was going to be, it's the rest of the world where Sony is going to clean MS' clock and build a huge overall userbase lead that will keep them as the "lead platform" for most third parties.

I'm always astonished by how little sense his predictions make and that neither he nor his employer seem to care about how wrong he always is. Must be a wonderful bubble he's living in.15 pages for a Pachter's prediction seem a bit too much
The guy clearly understimated or simply not considered at all the impact of Destiny being marketed as a first party PS4 game and the white console bundle.
He adjusted august's numbers for 5 weeks and gave a boost to XB1 for the single week promotion with no boost at all for the PS4. Nonsensical and pretty much terrible for someone who is paid to make such forecasts.

I agree with this. It was panic mode Sony that expanded their first party. Every company can use a kick in the head to get them going. But there's no way in hell Patchter is right. Sony said the PS4 had its most successful week since launch and MS would already be hyping up their sales if he was correct.Exactly. Amazing how there are some in this thread who are actively frightened at the potential Microsoft inching closer to monthly sales parity. It's as if people think competition is a bad thing, truly baffling.
