Well seing the third parties offering the consoles for lower than 399... it could be speculated how much of those were from "companies" that bought the consoles for 330 during BF and other holidays promotions and is now selling for profit on Amazon? Will that impact much Jan-Jun NPD?

I didn't even think about that good catch. How does that affect npd anyone know?

If it was people who bought from Amazon or any retail store then set up a "small store" on Amazon it shouldn't impact NPD at all since it won't count doubled (besides NPD tracking 90% of retail and extrapolating Amazon, so this sales would probably not show, then my assimption that NPD for Jan could be lower than normal because a lot of people will buy from this small guys and avert some from retail).

To further complicate the issue, Amazon did not have a lot of the better offers of brick and mortar retailers and does not make up for the majority of consol sales. 

But seeing that now this virtual stores have better deals than b&m things will be harder to measure.

 

How does the fullfilment works? Amazon sells for 399 but is fullfiling a 339 offer, where is this stock? How much will the vendor receive for the sale?
