I decided since it's the last day of December (well, I still have a little under 2 hrs to go), I'd make a thread to see how each console performed in Amazon's Top 100 Bestsellers for the year 2013. I made another thread just before the launch of the PS4, comparing its preorders against the Xbox One. So, I will also be comparing numbers with that thread to see if a console has gone up or down. Just a note, I am only using Amazon sites that actually do have a Top 100 for the year. I also didn't take note of the Wii U's postion in my previous thread, as that wasn't the topic, so I have nothing to compare them to. Edit: As JWeinCom pointed out to me, the 3DS isn't officially sold by Amazon itself, only through 3rd party sellers. I'm sure that doesn't help its sales on the site.

A quick note about Amazon US's numbers. As you can see, there was a PS4 Launch Edition, as well as a BF4 Bundle, that was once listed in the Top 100. For whatever reason, Amazon took off ALL traces of any PS4 on the Top 100. Only in the past week or so, did they return the Standard Edition to the Top 100. Make of that what you will. And if there are any updates within the next 24 hrs, the numbers will be changed.
So, what are your thoughts on the numbers?
