hello. how are you today ? hope good. i dont understand one thing.. the amazonUSA-bestsellerCharts are wrong, because Sony and AmazonUSA have a dispute for many weeks. AmazonUSA no longer sells new PS4 consoles!!, including PS4 Exclusive Games - produced directly by Sony! And there are no pre-orders for Sony games possible."That is the reason = "no sony console-games producs" ect in the bestseller. Its only amazon.com (usa), A bad situation and strange. Would not it be fair if the thread got another name? People always wonder why the charts look like this. I heard that AmazonUSA will not sell new PS4 consoles in the future, so the bestseller-charts are false / not fair in my opinion. PS: Wish you a great E3 : )

These issues have been discussed in the threads already. I have considered disestablishing the Amazon threads after this year if the issue doesn't resolve itself.

Why did you stop putting the regional amazon charts into the OP?

Thanks for accepting You put a lot of work into your threads!

Thanks. All that work collecting data and making charts has had a larger purpose, with a large sales-related article more or less summarizing my arguments about why consoles sell what they do and going on a gen-by-gen breakdown showing how various factors figured into the sales. I started it four years ago, but with the start of a new generation and everything I kept putting it off and rewriting various parts to keep it up to date. However, I'm almost done. I just have to finalize some charts and that'll be it. I'll probably be done within the next couple of weeks.

So, does that mean you won't be doing them anymore after that?

on 20 March 2018

Oh, I will. There's always more data and therefore more charts. That article will never be finished until I get sick of updating it, either. I plan on updating it once a year as long as we keep getting sales figures.

Ah, that's a relief!

The Great Sales Project is almost done! All the writing and spreadsheet work is done. I just need to annotate a bunch of charts and finally finish this thing I started in July 2014. I'll probably be done by the end of the month, time allowing.

This is why you don't let the government run the ratings boards. Rating systems should be voluntary industry bodies, with the ratings not having the force of law behind them....

Here's the monthly hardware rankings as they currently stand: Nintendo Switch (neon): #9 Nintendo Switch (grey): #27 SNES Classic: #48 Xbox One X: #54 XBO S 500GB standalone: #58 At this point, I think we can say for sure that Amazon is, at least for now, not selling PlayStation systems in any official capacity. If this is still the case by year's end, I think I will simply cease...
