I'm perfectly fine with waiting for NPD numbers. Until then though, we have ZERO, factual numbers to go by. So why is everyone just saying "last year bla bla bla" like that somehow means this year is going to be the exact same situation? Am I the only one who thinks ioi isn't dumb enough to make the same mistake twice? 

The only facts we have right now is that he haven't seen the PS4 win the US for months. That's a fact. Until I see otherwise, I am not going to just assume the PS4 is all of a sudden winning again. 

I find it funny that you keep talking about facts, while posting in an amazon thread, and just somehow ignoring all the facts right before your very eyes. Here are some facts for you. 

  1. Last year VGC over tracked the XB1 a number of times in the us giving it the win for weeks or a months. Every single time it was wrong. Except the last two months of last year. So its a fact that it could very well be happening again.
  2. All of last year, amazon rankings (hence this thread poppongbup every month) has been spot on on who wins each months NPD. Every single time. Amazon is like 12-0 on its predictions so far. I would say that's pretty accurate. 
  3. Amazon has the PS4 winning daily weekly all of January, mind you, it has come from behind the XB1 and passed it, and the XB1 keeps dropping, regardless of its price cut. you don't have to be a rocket scientist, what does that tell you?
  4. all other major retailers are for the most part showing the PS4 also ahead of the XB1 so far for the month, again; what does that tell you?
You can make of the above information as you choose, but the facts all point to something in particular. Unless of course you just wanna ignore them all, either way, in 2/3 weeks we will see.
