Thread title says "Amazon US December bestsellers thread" and this thread is simply that. Now the part about Amazon being a good indicator of NPD sales, that is questionable. If you want to create a monthly thread about December sales in retail, you are free to. I don't think the OP cares about putting any effort into that.

But this thread is being used to show proof of XB1's sales compared to PS4. I think i explained why using Amazon alone doesn't mean anything about sales. Especially when you're comparing it to PS4 which currently it's holiday bundle is sold out while XB1's holiday bundle is in stock. Obviously PS4 is going to be down in the charts since people are buying them elsewhere. So as of right now it's pointless to use it as any gauge of interest.
Yes this is a Amazon December total sales thread. Which is being used to predict overall sales at retail. So no it's not just simply that.

Read the bold. People with knowledge of how Amazon works should realize that current stock is what's being ranked. So they know that it's not going to be an end all indicator of how sales will wind up. If this thread is meant to only show Amazon rankings, then it is just that. That is my point. What you are doing now may be considered de-railing, but I am no mod and will let that be up to them. Carry on if you want.
BTW, I would REALLY love to see you make a thread with all the retail store data for the month of December. You seem to know more about this than other people do.
