Yup. I'll be expecting this as well.

Really? Is that what your seeing?

I'd hope so.
Yep & that's why I set my low ball estimate at 300K because I just know it's going to beat The Order.
Why not? Every month I use it to see which console comes out on top and so far it hasn't failed me
Mate, I completely agree with you on this.

Lets look at it like this.
Amazon full month February 2015 Software ranking:
#5 Majora's Mask
#15 Order 1886
Look how close Order is to Majora's Mask. Look at it! It's at number 15 it must..
NPD Software Results:
Oh.
But...
Oh.
If it stays high on hourly ranking for most of the month then wouldn't that mean high on monthly? that has been the case for ps4 and low for xbox.
I am talking about console not software dude

This argument was stemmed from software. No one is going to argue against hardware placings.
Fair enough.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Kirby was actually 3rd...under Smash and Mk8. Just a tad above 50k. I'm not sure what to make of it. Toad is doing much better, now that it's above 300k. be hard to see Kirby catching it.
Nice to know MK8 is still doing above 50k I suppose.
Wonder if the DLC will give a boost at all.

Jesus, those Amazon charts are getting brutal to look at. ACU bundle down to #42 now on the latest hourly and the MCC bundle has failed to do anything.
150k+ victory for PS4 March NPD. Calling it now. It is absolutely battering the competition.
Can you imagine if MS had kept the price at $499?

$499 and Wii U would finally have some competition.
But will it beat out Type-0 is the real question.
I hope they both do well regardless, Type 0 although not perfect is brimming with good ideas and a wonderful atmosphere and deserves more games similar to it..and Bloodborne is obviously bloodborne
Wow that's a pretty big change. I remember just prior to The Order's release you posted that BB was tracking well below Order or something like that. Maybe all the early positive impressions are getting around.
It's not "Oh" just like that. The was Order was released on the 20th, slayed by gaming journalist, game is bashed since E3 2013.
In the end 9th place is NOT THAT BAD!

I will be surprised if Bloodborne beats Type-0. With it being bundled with FFXV and on two consoles that may be a bit much. But I wouldn't be surprised at it selling more than The Order.
T0 might as well be a PS4 exclusive based on the sales. And i think FF15 demo was less a reason than people wanting a new FF after Lighting for so many years

If it's 150k+ this month, BGamer will have to move his goalposts again regarding what constitutes MS being in a bad situation.

I honestly can't see a gap that big this month but if it is, damn. I would certainly not want to be at Xbox HQ right now. Like, what do they even do at this point? $299 by June And maybe (and that's a somewhat big maybe) they'll be able to keep up

For first month I will wager no, but yes for LTD. The people who want FF Type 0 (or the FFXV demo) already know and will pick it up or not accordingly. I think Bloodborne will start strong and the constant exposure from the press and people's buddies about the quality of the game will trickle some more sales into From's pockets during the slower April (Just MKX) and May (The Witcher 3) summer season.
Maybe Bloodborne really is a system seller?
That's pretty bad.
EDIT: Monthy is still what you'd expect, XB1 is #14th to PS4's 7th.

Bayonetta didn't. Captain toad didn't. Sunset Overdrive didn't. Kirby didn't. Pikmin didn't. Forza didn't. Project spark didn't. Drive club didn't. Monster Hunter 4 didn't.

I would be really impressed if Bloodborne did >350k and if Type 0 did > 300k. I'd put that as my upper ceiling.

Maybe be thinks all of those are terrible too.

Hourly charts are useless, but if you really wan't to look at amazon charts I'd use monthly charts.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2015-03/videogames
You can change the month if you change the url.
2015-03 = March 2015
2015-04 = April 2015
2013-12 = December 2013
etc.

That might be their next move, but what if Sony slashes the price by $100 as well? Can MS afford to go to $199 already? Because at this point, it seems like X1 has to be $100 cheaper than the PS4 at all times to compete.
Yes, probably because it's an archaic bundle now, and MCC is meant to be its successor... but where is that? #64, that's where.

No it isn't. It's in stock for Amazon now and lots of resellers fulfilled by Amazon.

If Bloodborne will be good as it looks it's going to have far better legs than Type-0. Just March? Hard to say, Type-0 was out earlier and it's still a multi-platfrom title.

Not 'notably' better than ACU+ACBF at 349.
I think Dragonborn said it, but MS has devalued their product proposition of their XB1 offerings, by having too many good deals over a very short period of time.

For the MCC bundle it might also have something to do with really bad word of mouth because of that game's horrid launch.

Surely it will still top March NPD right?
I'm going on a limb and saying Bloodborne > Type 0 HD for NPD.
Nightengale

Yeah, I'm thinking Hardline > Bloodborne > Type-0 HD.

It just baffles me seeing MS being $50 cheaper and having their most popular IP bundled, but still losing to the competition in their main territory.
If someone would've predicted this two years ago, I'd call them crazy and delusional.
The Ps4 priced at $349 would absolutely wreck the X1. The X1 has always to be cheaper from now on.

Then you have to call me crazy and delusional.
People thought I was crazy when I predicted that PS4 would sell over 18 million in one year. Ended up selling almost 20 million by end of 2014.
(Just bear in mind that 18m is almost double what PS3 and Xbox 360 sold in their first years)

Looking at Amazon this is my guess as well. The standard edition should soon overtake Type-0 PS4, and the CE should climb into the top #20.
I'm also anticipating a lot of people either unaware or on the fence about the game will pick it up next week, after positive reviews, word of mouth and stream coverage.

I thought the X1 priced at $499 would offer good competition in NA, seeing how big the Xbox brand is in that territory.
But MS only managed to survive by slashing the price by $150 and bundling a lot of games with the hardware.
Yikes, never expected that myself.
