Surely this is purely based on how many preorders they could take due to stock? They both sold out?

First "picture" of PS5 and XSX supply (Amazon 2020 best selling chart)

Thats a recent/hourly chart so PS5 cant chart anymore if it have been days without stockThis is how it looks like in german Amazon charts right now
The OP is top sales of the year though. It's not really an incredible feat to be topping the recent bestsellers chart just after releasing your console preorders lol. It would be pretty embarrassing if they weren't at the top of the hourly charts.
Wrong links. They should end with /gp/bestsellers/2020/videogames
Yeah I know. I was supposed to reply to people posting the daily charts for other europeam countries above.
The chart itself only really shows supply (Amazon have more PS5 stock than XSX). The demand side still can't be quantified or analysed properly outside of 'pretty similar' as they're both sold out and we have no idea how many people couldn't get one who wanted one.
I definitely think Amazon Spain doesn't have a yearly ranking. The gp/bestsellers/2020/videogames link leads nowhere.
So im on the US 2020 best selling video games and PS5 isn't even on it with XSX sitting at 38

Pretty much. PS5 DE sold out in under 3 minutes on Amazon UK. XSX and PS5 disc seemed comparable with maybe the former edging it out. Smile link went up early so a little hard to gauge.
Think we can say much out of this. Kinda dont need to also.
Seems these consoles are gonna be popular and will have stock issues for a while. Wich was expected.
I followed the the xbox stuff yesterday in Netherlands pretty close. Series X was sold out within 10 min. On the biggest retail site. Bol.com it was sold out within 5 min.
Series S on the otherhand is still available. Dont know the stock situation on that also.

Ummm these are hourly charts and the Xbox was up for release just yesterday so it'd be a disaster for Microsoft if it was lower on the charts than the PS5 which hasn't been restocked since last week.
Exactly. But even in the yearly charts the situation is obviously very much stock-limited, so i do not think one can draw any conclusions here except that Sony made a bit more PS5s available in Europe than MS - XSXs.
I think amazon Germany was about the same. XSS still available.
However I don't think a console selling out before release is anything special, since demand is always higher than available units. When was the last time this hasn't been the case?
As others have said - both units are completely sold out everywhere, so this thread is pretty meaningless. At most you can infer that the XSX/S had far less stock than the PS5 comparatively.
"First picture of PS5 and XSX supply/demand" really only suggests that the demand for both has vastly outstripped supply.

Given both are sold out it's more of an accurate reflection of Amazon's supply rather than demand.
Could be, in Sweden PS5 is more expensive for both hardware and games. There is no logic to it but that's how it is. 🤷♂️
Recent bestseller charts that are updated hourly vs the top sellers of 2020 to date - maybe?
They should allocate some stock from MEA region. Both Xbox are still available to purchase here in Saudi Arabia
Honestly, with the current global recession going on and people wanting to be distracted, I could very well see All Access being a massive hit. Hell, anecdotal but many of my friends including myself went it with XSX due to its insane value.
I mean... If you have more consoles, and you're selling more consoles....
I agree, very weird. My guess is I think Xbox loaded the US with more supply then they did Europe, and Sony loaded up Europe with more supply then they did the US. Which would make sense given those are their best markets respectively. Overall these numbers mean squat
Those who buy consoles at launch are enthusiasts. The Series S isn't targeted towards them.
Give it 1-2 years to build some mindshare and marketing, perhaps a price-drop, and then you'll see Series S being the dominant Xbox SKU.
Also, Series S was literally announced less than a fortnight ago.
How about we actually wait for proper data, doubtful it's a sink for Microsoft already :)
Has Sony released any more units since the pre-order date or is it just that initial allocation? Either way I think applauds all round.
Yeah it is, edited post to include 'recent sales'.

Also, Amazon was one of the last places to do pre-orders for PS5. I think a lot of people got them from Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target and Gamestop since they were on it first.
All of these Amazon best sellers aren't an accurate picture of sales. They look at what's currently best selling. Ps5 has been out of stock in every country for the past week, whereas Xbox has just started to allow pre orders so ofcourse Xbox will be ahead, that's how the best sellers on Amazon is done
On Amazon US, Best Sellers (videogames) of 2020 so far:
Series X : #38
Does anyone know why the PS5 isn't on the top 100 list ? That's odd

Hard to see them surviving the next console generation with such a weak position. F's for Nintendo in the chat.
It's obvious that logitech have unparalleled hardware production capacity.
Jokes aside whats the deal with that mouse.

Xbox has been here for 20 years, and it is Microsoft behind it.
How many more gens and billions $ do they need?
I think all 3 of them will have a great gen.
Good mouse, cheap (10€). Got one too from my job.
Home Office probably helped selling a lot of them.
Mass of people working from home, buying stuff for home office.
Bestseller for 2020 so far
France. PS5#85 XSS/XSX not in top 100
UK. PS5#9 XSX#45 XSS not in top 100
Germany. PS5#15 XSX#83 XSS not in top 100
US. XSX#38 X1S#49(lol) XSS and PS5 not in top 100
Canada. PS5#76 XSS and XSX not in top 100
So US is again Xbox's strongest market OR they flooded US with more units then PS5. Couldn't get Italy and Spain's 2020 chart to show.
