This is why this thread was made in the first place. Gamestop is a much more popular retailer for consoles (the top in fact), but we're not following their online sales. Know why? Because they're wildly inaccurate towards guessing the outcome of NPD.

"This is why this thread was made in the first place."

How do you know this?

 

Based on the question, are you insinuating that the point of the Amazon thread is not making opinions about sales trends?

No, I assumed an Amazon thread was about tracking sales on Amazon.

Do you think we just birdwatch Amazon for the hell of it? Nobody would give a crap if we didn't use it as an indicator for the sales trajectory for the month. I think you're being purposefully obtuse about this... I'm just not sure for what means.

It was Ethomaz that realised there was a correlation between Amazon and the NPD. This is why these threads exist.

>For a time, yes.

"Nobody would give a crap if we didn't use it as an indicator for the sales trajectory for the month."

>I'm sure there are some who just bird watch it for the hell of it. I'm one of those to a degree.

"I think you're being purposefully obtuse about this... I'm just not sure for what means."

>No. I just wasn't aware of the correlation Amazon had with NPD.

He was banned because he couldn't keep his teeth in his pants.

I hate it when my teeth fall out of my pants.

Maybe for you but not for me. Btw the quote button quotes my post. No need to do it twice.

I quote twice for the sake of clarity.

It comes off as quite strange tbh

Right but it allows the reader to know what I'm responding to and read the whole text from which the quote is being extracted.
