I don't really know. I guess because most people here use Amazon as the first and foremost authority for online sales, with numerous threads dedicated to its rankings.

I do believe that retail sales still outnumber online sales by a large margin, and it seems to me that XOne somehow has a much bigger support from retail-shopping Americans. Also, from what I read online (as I'm not in the US) general public retail stores tend to have much better deals on consoles.

Again, online evidence definitely supports PS4 victory, but I choose to think that retail side will squeeze out a narrow XOne win.

"Numerous threads"??

Anyways, hope you realize that online tracking also showed the XB1 winning on the two months that the XB1 did actually win. While all year they were showing the PS4 winning. Basically, whoever they have indicated wins, has won. they are 12-0 till date.

But somehow you feel that all of a sudden this trend will just suddenly change? 

What I find most puzzling though, is how when amazon and other retail sites were showing the XB1 winning everyone including the PS4 fans accepted the outcomes, then the major debate was just how much the XB1 would outsell the PS4. But now I'm yet to see a single XB1 fan actually concede that the XB1 would lose. All of a sudden the amazon crystal ball is bogus   

So, you believe that Amazon will end up 84-0 this generation? That it is absolutely impossible for the chart to be wrong one single month? 

Well, you might be correct, and Amazon might prove to be just that by 2020, but I still think that there can exist a possibility in which it might be off in a single month. So, why not this month?

Either way, whoever wins or loses impacts me in no way at all. So, I will stand by my prediction, as that is all it is - a prediction! Based on the reasoning I already offered.
