Final Amazon weekly data for BF week seems to be in:

Xb 1 ACU Bundle #2
PS4 GTAV/TLOUR #4
PS4 Leggo/LBP3 #46
PS4 "naked" #54
Xb 1 ACU+Kinect #72
PS4 Destiny Bundle #92

With that mix of positions I am confident in concluding that PS4 sold best on Amazon on BF itself, and on BF week. Of course we know PS4 won BF day on Amazon because the GTA bundle was ahead of ACU bundle for most of BF.

But unlike more or less every other week of the year where pricing is pretty much the same across all retailers, the fact that other retailers with bigger market share had deals more favourable to Xb one, it's unlikely that Amazon is an accurate predictor of Nation-wide sales. Too bad GTA/TLOU bundle ran out before the week was over because it's possible that if this bundle had been in plentiful stock through to Monday GTA/TLOU bundle could have placed ahead of ACU on Amazon.

From the monthly perspective there's no PS4 sku that's sufficiently close to the ACU bundle to be able to predict anything other than a Xb one win for the month, which currently aligns with what it looks like VGC will be showing and is highly likely to align with NPD when it comes out. So this will maintain Amazon's 100% record of predicting the NPD hardware winner. Not sure whether the monthly chart has updated yet, It's still showing GTA/TLOU bundle at 17 and vanilla PS4 at 20. This could be the final monthly number. Amazon hasn't started a December chart yet, so there could be one more November update. But I don;t expect it to change things much, since the last couple of days of November GTAV/TLOU ran out of stock.
