Suddenly... Sims

It's at 4.99$, so practically for free

Funny thing with GTA V now: The digital XBO version is in front of the physical version despite the latter being 10$ cheaper (20$ vs 30$)

And yet not even GTA freaking V can kick Smash from it's throne. It's as if it's intro is showing how it's eliminating it's competition instead of the Smash rooster

Guys.

With a comment like that, you can't be surprised that users show up occasionally to point out that Amazon has been bad at predicting the overall market in 2018. You're doing yourself a favor by continuing to view Amazon rankings as a predictor of Amazon sales only. According to NPD, PS4 came out on top in 8 months in 2018. That would've been impossible to "foreshadow" going by Amazon rankings where PS4 performs terribly.

With that said, I can easily see Switch selling 2 mill in December and steal the year from PS4 in the US

Thing is, PS4 is also kinda meh on the NPD prediction tool, and both show a downward trend for the console. So at this rate it looks like the December of the PS4 will be meh, or in other words below last year.

Yeah, I expect PS4 to have a smaller December compared to last year as well and I expect it to have a much smaller December than Nintendo (hence why I think Nintendo could catch up and take the year). But we wouldn't be able to tell from Amazon rankings.

Amazon has had PS4 losing all year when it in fact came out on top in 8 months. Even the NPD prediction tool has struggled to predict PS4's success during the holiday months.

You're doing yourself a favor by continuing to view Amazon rankings as a predictor of Amazon sales only. Else don't act surprised when people show up to tell you how bad Amazon is at predicting the overall market.

GTA V roaring up the charts..
Mario Kart Wii, time to get back on the top 100 to show who's got the hottest legs ;P

GTA V is truly something..

Smash still number, geez.
Switch will probably fall a bit soon, we are getting super close to Christmas and they won't be able to ship it on time/people won't take the risk of buying online.
