Amazon has been a poor predictor of success in the past. While it does mean something, it is not a major retailer by any stretch of the imagination. I suppose the author of the article might not know that, but the forum regulars should. DMC4 is absolutely going to do well, and the Amazon sales are some evidence towards that but are far from significant. The Japanese simply don't like credit card purchases for whatever reasons (this has been stated by a few different sources including Sony) so Amazon cannot be taken as representative.
