Percentages on their own are as always pretty useless. But since this is a thread about Amazon, I wanna mention something I noticed this morning on Amazon.de and I don't know if I should find this funny or anything else.

Amazon.de has not removed the PS4 version of the Rise of Tomb Raider on their site, this has resulted not only in the game being the 3rd most wished for gaming item, no it has also resulted in the PS4 version, that doesn't even exist, outpre-ordering the X1 version of the game and apparently not even by a little.

PS4: 209 in hourly bestsellers
X1: 1424 in hourly bestsellers

Who are those people pre ordering the game on PS4?

If you think that it's fine to preorder a holiday 2015 game right now, you should also find it acceptable that an early 2016 game gets preordered.

I find pre ordering in general rather stupid, just found it funny that people are pre ordering a game that officially doesn't exist.

Interesting. I expected bigger boosts for some of those games though.

When did the PS4 version cease to exist? It's coming later, that's all.

Officially it ceased to exist when MS announced exclusivity, in 2015, at Gamescom. Everybody and there Grandmother expects the game to come out later on PS4, but if you were to ask SE about a PS4 version now, they'd deny its existence.
