You can't read too much into this. But if the rankings more or less hold to this order through the weekend, or at least for all of BF, then on amazon at least it's likely PS4 will have sold the most for BF week. How that plays out across all retailers is unknown. What we will know though is that ACU Kinectless bundle will be the #1 console sku for the month, which, unless GTA/TLOU and Lego/LBP bundles get high in the monthly rankings (top 10 for one and top 20 for the other), should mean Xb one wins Nov NPD. But perhaps not by a very large margin, maybe 100K or so.

But what this does suggest on a national level is that both consoles are going to sell shitloads.

I wonder if BF is actually the time where Amazons rankings are their least accurate due to massive sales of consoles in stores? Like even with XBO with only one ahead on the ranking that it could be crushing PS4 in stores?

Whatever the outcome, I am definitely looking forward to November testing the hypothesis that for this generation at least Amazon is very accurate at predicting the NPD HARDWARE winner. From memory though I think it was either Nov or Dec 2013 which was the only month where Amazon got it wrong. Pretty sure it was November, because so many of the sales that actually took place in November were recorded in Amazon's inimitable way as October "sales", i.e. pre-orders. That scenario doesn't apply here so the final monthly, and possoibly weekly, ranking should, I think, accurately reflect the national [globally in the USA] rankings.
