What a difference a day makes.
Earlier this month Xbox One was tracking ahead of PS4 in Amazon’s video games bestselling charts. Then E3 happened and everything changed.
Just hours after Sony’s victorious E3 press event Sony’s machine overtook Microsoft’s amid stories of cancelled pre-orders.
Now, just hours after Microsoft announced that it is ditching its internet and DRM requirements, public opinion seems to be swaying back in Microsoft’s favour.
The 429 Xbox One Day One Edition is currently the second best selling item in the video games section behind Sony’s PS3 title The Last of Us. PS4 has been relegated to third.
The highest ranked next-gen game is Watch Dogs on PS4 in eight followed by the Xbox One version of Call of Duty Ghosts in 13th, Battlefield 4 on Xbox One in 14th and Xbox One Exclusive Forza 5 in 17th.
