Can you actually look that far back monthly.

I know you can yearly... and it doesn't exactly play out... Unless you think Halo 4 sold more then PS3 in 2012...

Outside which, I don't have to go farther then your own lists.

Look at your december list here...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2013-12/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar

 

Best Seller for Decemebr 2013 is Just Dance 2014?

Even though Call of Duty Ghosts is ahead of it everwhere on the weeklies?

Yeap... you can look back even weekly.

You missed the part I was talking about HARDWARE and no SOFTWARE... software have multiples SKUs and bundles that is impossible to put together... I even give the Titanfall example.

Except here, the software SKU's only go against your point.

The 360 and PS3 versions BOTH outsell Just Dance's Wii Version which is the only one selling well.

 

There is a reason why NOBODY uses one storefront for predictions.

It's because they aren't a good representative sample.  Different "types" of people flock to different stores.
