There should be no doubt about the PSN cards selling good. That doesn't mean that the chart can't be based on the amoun of view a certain item gets. You know, to buy those PSN cards you have to view them first.

But views =/= sales(purchases) so it would most likely be that people are actually purchasing the fake PS4s, but then is this happening to such a degree that it overshadows everything else going on simultaneously? Probably not.

Besides, simply look at the best sellers for 2014, it updates daily, wouldnt it be far more reliable?

I'm not saying that the PS4 got no boost from FC4 and LBP3 and GTAV. I'm simply saying that we can't know what comes from the scams and what is normal.

Far more reliable for what? Sales in November? No. Sales in 2014? Yes.

Last part was a mistake, it has since been redacted.

But the simple explanation for why views wouldn't affect that Amazon list is this. The PS4's position did drop in the first couple of months after release due to low stock, in despite of high demand. High demand would suggest high page views especially with people check to see if it was in stock. If it was affected by views it would've remained in place.

If its ranking moves up, unless they changed the algorithm in the last year, then it is most likely because of purchases either bogus or legit. Whether they only count fufilled sales, in that the bogus ones also wouldn't count is another story entirely.
