I'm only really a spectator here but it seems to me that it's you that's not getting it. You keep saying that people are butt hurt because the numbers don't suit them but what I'm seeing is people who are right to question the numbers and are proven right over and over again. Your stance just doesn't seem to make sense ... sorry.

He just don't get what is happening yet

It's just seems weird that he keeps calling people out and yet they're proven right. I've been questioning the numbers for quite some time now but it's not because I'm childish, butt hurt or whatever, it's because the numbers don't make sense.

And I really don't know why the Amazon numbers are so contraversial. You're taking a large slice of a population and judging the sales ratio by what position they are in a best sellers list. It's not as if you are extrapolating the numers, you're just extrapolating who won and who came second.

There was an argument when PS4 stock was extremely low in the US that if Sony was preferentially stocking Amazon over other retailers then the PS4/XB1 sales ratio at Amazon would be skewed towards the PS4 as it was one of the only places you had a chance of getting a PS4. Whereas because you could walk into any store and buy a XB1 then people didn't need to buy one on Amazon.

Now that PS4 stock is much better across the country, that argument no longer holds, but people still question the Amazon rankings based on the above argument without realising it.
