Amazon: PS4 Already 2nd Best Selling Video Game Product of 2013, Xbox One 7th

Earlier today, Amazon.com told us that next gen console pre-orders had smashed their sales records, even beating out Black Friday sales, but they declined to clarify which console was in the lead. - PSLS

Great news, glad to hear it

That's crazy, because it's not even out yet

let's see PS4 dominate just as the PS2 did

Also, that image is awesome lol

doctorstrange3962d ago

And PSN cards are number one, crazy to see PS dominating so much.

Get ready for an industrial revolution!

Dir_en_grey3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

If you want to see real domination...

In the UK the best seller of 2013:
PS4 is at 4th, and XBone is at 70th

NewMonday3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

for a neutral or a Sony fan it would look like the PS4 will sweep..

..but hardcore 360 fans(specially in the USA) are more immersed in the Xbox ecosystem then the even the PS2 generation, mainly because of the connected social community it created, many would put up with a lot of BS to preserve it and unwilling to face the unknown in a new platform.

the XB1 DRM was a breaking point for the majority but now that is supposedly reversed the bleeding should stop or slow at least.

but MS has another problem which is the low yield in manufacturing, they decided not to down-clock so that means less functional parts, leading to less units for sale. Sony are also attacking this vulnerability by accepting all orders for the PS4 and making it available everywhere anytime in the USA.

and another point Sony are pushing is getting the new generation, the lower price and kid friendly game(Knack) will make it the better option as present for the kids.

Pixel_Enemy3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

@newmonday, As I said before. 360 had a year lead along with PS4 launching it a ridiculous $600. These two things put 360 in a very good place at launch. Once everyone had one, people bought what their friends had because gaming is more social and connected now. Even people with both consoles ended up getting multiplats on the system that all of their friends used.

This generation might be a complete swing in the other direction. If PS4 is the popular system, people will buy what their friends are playing on.

Launch is a critical time for these companies for this reason alone. It will carry on into the life cycle like it did last gen. It took Sony all of last gen to finally catch up and surpass the sales of 360. (in the US)

The crazy part is PS4 launch edition sold out in 2 hours! and still unavailable.

Sitdown3962d ago

You do realize the launch edition is in bundle for now right? We might not see the stand alone launch edition until after release day......since Amazon has gone the Gamestop bundle route. Anyhow, doesn't matter to me, cause I order the stand alone as soon as it popped up......now I have the hard decision of deciding which game to start with.

zeee3962d ago

It's exciting to see the console wars however, I think these articles are starting to look rather silly.

PS4 has been on top and that is a fact but that doesn't mean it won't change. Are we really going to post a new article every time a console drops or climbs a spot?

There are so many variables right now. The pre-order availability, bundles etc This will keep going up and down especially now when MS have reverted back to their old policies. Things are starting to heat up.

I am expecting to see PS4 in lead but then again, anything could happen. It could be a HUGE lead, could be small percentage or heck Xbox One could also dominate holiday 2013. 5 months is a long time. The marketing hasn't even begin so give it time. May the best console win.

dedicatedtogamers3962d ago

The gap is only going to become wider. There have been rumors circulating for months that the Xbox One will have constrained supplies (due to eSRAM yields, due to overheating problems, etc.) for the first several months, which would allow the PS4 to race ahead.

Of course, Microsoft will come out and say "Xbox One is the only console still sold out because of incredible demand!" even if the PS4 is selling four times as many consoles per month.

Roper3163962d ago

ya MS is a master at always having a BS answer or just outright lie to make themselves look good.

NextGen24Gamer3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

The cool thing is that the top 20 on Amazon is split even with 9 of the top 20 being xbox products and 9 being sony products...And the xbox one is still holds the #1 spot though it's their is only one version selling at this point and a higher price! People who thought price would be an issue is proven wrong with Xbox One being the best seller on Amazon.

Don't get me wrong, I still believe that the ps4 will ultimately outsell the xbox one.

I just believe those who thought the xbox one would fail is 100% wrong just like this last generation when sony fans thought the xbox 360 would fail.

Competition is good and 9 and 9 in the top 20 lets everyone know that the gaming industry is alive and well!

I've decided though with the xbox one to only buy digital. I will no longer give money to Gamestop! They profiting and hurting the game industry. It cost money to make these incredible games and as a consumer I want ALL THE MONEY to go to the guys who make the games, thus giving them the budgets to make bigger and better games in the future!

Gamestop can kick rocks!!!!!!!

Also on Amazons top 40

Xbox products 19
Sony products 17

@Topshelfcheese

Not drinking any koolaid...Go to Amazons current top sellers list and Xbox One is still #1 in the US. Though ps4 has several skues in the top 10. That's what I'm referring to!

Topshelfcheese3962d ago

What koolaid are you drinking? its 7th with ps4 in 2nd right now and has been for the last couple days.

I_LOVE_MYSELF3962d ago

@Topshelfcheese

There is more than 1 list so it is understandable that people can get confused. There is a best seller list with Xbox1 currently at the top, but there is a also a total best selling list in which PS4 is 1 and Xbox1 is 7th. I think the Xbox1 is at the top of a trending style list, but the PS4 is still the overall top selling console there (as it stands).

KwietStorm_BLM3962d ago

Nice research report you got there.

DoesUs3962d ago

@Elite, I thought sales wasn't your thing? Silly me.

MariaHelFutura3962d ago

Fact: The Amazon poll (94.7%) gets taken down 2 weeks early and a few hours later the Xbox One magically jumped to #1 on Amazon.

Quite a coincidence.

kneon3962d ago

Right now the XB1 holds the #1 spot. The PS4 holds the #3, 4, 6, 9 and 16th spots. So 25% of the top 20 products are variations of the PS4 SKUs.

Things are clearly still not going the way Microsoft would like.

reko3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

@topshelfcheese and gametimeuk

dude he works for amazon so he knows
what hes talking about. /s

greenlantern28143962d ago

umm article says ps4 number 2 xbox1 number 7 but i guess ms math means xb1 is number 1. but even if xb1 is number 1 and they are not that would only be because the ps4 launch editions on amazon are sold out.
every major retail has ps4 soundly beating xb1 even in the states

fermcr3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

Both consoles will do pretty well next gen... PS4 will probably sell more then the X1, but both will sell pretty well. I think both of them will sell much more then the WiiU.

AndrewLB3961d ago

The only reason why PS3 outsold 360 is due to the simple fact that was a very good blu-ray player that was priced far below stand-alone blu-ray players for a very long time because sony took a loss on them. I know a lot of people (typically older people) who never even used it for gaming, which I always found amusing. When anyone asked me what player to buy, i'd always recommend the ps3.

Benchm4rk3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

@AndrewLB

That is spot on. I wanted a blu ray player but opted for the PS3 as it did more than just play movies for the same or less price. I do have a few games on it but it rarely gets used for anything other than playing movies. I know a lot of people who did the same. I also recommended people to buy a PS3 instead of a standalone player

allformats3962d ago

The article isn't quite clear. It gives no quotes at all, and no source.

nosferatuzodd3962d ago

they want to be down with the true king
long live play till i dye

alb18993961d ago

I told you guys that the X1 will sell as hell and with one month of advantage against ps4 ......X1 will be sold out.

Polysix3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

what one month advantage? You do know the PS4 is being released BEFORE XB1? Which we could guess all along, Sony were just being coy about release date to outdo MS and wait for MS's confirmation. As it stands now all evidence points to PS4 November 13th XB1 November 26th.

No way is XB1 going to sell anywhere near the numbers PS4 does. Stop dreaming.

alb18993961d ago

In amazon December 31 the ps4 and november 27 X1 but I don't dream thinking that X1 will sell more......you kids think that everyone is like you. I really don't care who sells more just that everybody got a piece of the pie so I can play from both consoles.

imdaboss13961d ago

cant wait for all the awesome indie games.and all those exclusive ps4 games..you know they will have it just look at their track record...Sony deserve to be on top at least they listen to gamers.unlike ms who try to take over the gaming industry by implement drm..

alb18993961d ago

If they are on top they deserve it but if they aren't then no.

The battle for E3 is over. The battle for the entire year is about to begin.

Wedge193962d ago

It's nice to see that consoles are still relevant, especially after many predicted their death due to mobile.

BISHOP-BRASIL3962d ago

They are not going anywhere... At first it was just for kids and obviously wouldn't last beyond the next cool toy. Than videogames consoles were for teens and PC would destroy it. After that it was Mobile and Internet micro games that would take over...

Seriously, I've been hearing about how gaming consoles or videogames in general are doomed since I was 7 or 8 years old, but I'm 26 now and still playing, so no, I don't think they'll fade away any time soon.

ricochetmg3962d ago

In light of current info I think sony will sell 8 million before 2014.

kneon3962d ago

That's pretty optimistic, if the release date rumors are true they would need to sell over 1,300,000 per week on average since there would only be 5-6 weeks between launch and 2014.

ricochetmg3962d ago

People are very hungry for next gen....I know i am

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot16m ago(Edited 14m ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0079m ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Leeroyw1h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno1h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy8529m ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
