Doesn't anyone else find it interesting that the PS3 is often in the top 100 on Amazon but the 360 hasn't been there for ages ... and YET, the 360 wins every NPD? Why is it such a great indicator for the PS4 but not the PS3?

Amazon is more of an indication of core gamers imo. That is why amazon is often not right during the holidays.

 

In the US 360 even leads the wii leading me to believe that it is more mainstream.

 

Early gen buyers are generally core, and during the non holiday months they are also generally core. Even late gen amazon could be very wrong due to the low price of the consoles, thus making it more accessible to the mainstream audience. But I think PS4 will keep on getting core gamers.
