I hope you are aware of the fact that Amazon didn't correctly predict the winner on december 2013.

I can't remember but were preorders involved? You have to take those into consideration when assessing the accuracy of Amazon. For instance, this months numbers won't include the Star Wars Bundle or the Black Ops Bundle, but there are still the TLOUR Bundle, Destiny Bundle and Nathan Drake Bundle which have been consistantly above the Halo bundle.

The 3DS won december 2013 NPD

You could argue that PS4 shortages at Amazon kept PS4 down, and that finishing with 4 places of each other makes the Amazon chart too close to call with Xb one vs PS4. Still what is interesting is that far from Amazon just randomly being wrong it is fairly predictable when Amazon is likely to be wrong, which actually strengthen's Amazon's predictive value rather than weakening. When you know the factors that are likely to put Amazon out you will be able to know how to interpret the Amazon monthly chart.
