Nope, it hasn't been about which console has the top SKU. It's just that nearly everytime, the top SKU was so far ahead of the others that it didn't matter. In the close calls, like april, where the PS4 had the top SKU, but the XBO had two SKUs, one was literally one place behind, while the other was about 10 more places behind. And, lo and behold; the XBO won april NPD. I think this month is looking similar (in fact I'd say this month, the PS4 lead suggested by Amazon is bigger than the XBO lead suggested by Amazon in April) *however* part of that is changed by the XBO Halo 5 bundle's preorders, so they'll be very close either way. However claiming that it's just about which console gets the top SKU is just wrong.

Yes it is. It was just the simple idea that whoever won the monthlies won the month. People like to speculate around that idea but it all boils down to that in the end. When people talk about the Amazon record they're talking about which console is at the top, not how many consoles are in the top 100 with varying places. The difference in April (and May) was 7k if I remember correctly, so it was basically a toss up for April.
This is why people say Amazon has been wrong once. It really is that simple.
