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.

But you are also using things like Best Buy sort order which isnt nearly the same thing as Amazon monthly, weekly bestsellers. I have built ECommerce systems and the sort order is ultimaly dertimned by ECommerce marketing department not sales statistics.
