I know amazon sales dont matter and all, but seeing the 80 GB PS3 at #2 and the 40GB for the top ten (for the first time in a long time), then to see these numbers...ummmm...huh?

I know they are a small percentage, but that still seems a bit off. The numbers aren't just low, they are ridiculously low. Are we sure this isn't just because the numbers had possibly been overtracked in the past, and this is how it's being corrected?

 

You can't rely on those rankings. For example, NCAA football has been low ranked since release but it doesn't sell as badly as Amazon would indicate.

 

 I'm not trying to rely on them, but maybe just to give a general indication.  If I based it solely on the that, then the PS3 would easily be the best selling system (including DS).  Instead its easily the WORST selling system.  So I'm not saying, "HEY, AMAZON SAYS PS3 is number 1, vgchartz is way off!", but rather, "What the heck is going on when PS3 is #1 on amazon, but selling terribly (apparently) everywhere else?"
