I just checked and December 2013 had XBO #4 and PS4 #8 and November 2014 had XBO #2, #82, #100 and PS4 #11, #31, #79. That looks right so far.

My bad. I meant November 2013 and November 2014.

 

I figureee 11,31 and 79 is bigger then 2 82 and 100 as many others did and predicted PS4 win. But it did not win.

Could be wrong on November 2013 as well as I do not see PS4 in top 100 at all, despite winning the month.

Nov 2013 was launch month for both consoles so you have pre-orders to contend with, which on Amazon get counted in previous months. So launch month does not really count. Amazon got Nov 2014 right. The only thing that was skewed was BF itself, but no one is suggesting Amazon is 100% right on an hourly or daily basis. The claim is that Amazon correctly predicts PS4 vs Xb oneNPD positions. And so far for non-functional months it's been 100% on that. No reason to think it won't stay that way for the foreseeable future.
