So Amazon is right again.

Amazon predicted the winner right but the rang gap between both consoles is completely wrong when you compare it with npds sales data. Both consoles sold basically the same and Amazon rankings are

NSW-13, 17

PS4-34, 53, 63

So like he said, Amazon is right.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Idk how many times this needs to be stated for people to understand. Ill post it one more time.

 

January Amazon rankings
NSW-13, 17
PS4-34, 53, 63
XBO-52, 68, 85

13 & 17 could be 8000 & 7000 units for a total of 15,000

34, 53 & 63 could be 5500, 4500 & 2500 for a total of 12,500

52, 68 & 85 could be 4700, 2300 & 2000 for a total of 9000.

Now lets say NPD figures for January are

NSW-300k
PS4-250k
XBO-180k

That would make the Amazon % of NPD totals the same for each console which would result in no bias.

umm they are much closer then that, xbox has ps4 are gonna be virtually tied, switch should have at most a 20k lead.

Umm those are arbitrary numbers to prove a point, they have nothing to do with actual results.

All of us who said amazon is switch biased have been proven right. It suggested the gap would be far bigger.

 

Anyway ps4 brought in the most revenue, sony will be happy.

One more time, it suggested nothing because Amazon only gives rankings but not quantities.

Hardware revenue doesn't mean the company profits.
