GG was right in what he was saying. Till April, here and on gaf it was winning console on Amazon won the month. It all changed in April, when a few of the big anti Amazon brigade on gaf used the failure to turn around and say "Ha, wrong! can we now stop having this amazon garbage in npd threads." Since that time it has changed to what it is now, watching the overall trending as a rough guide to the month. There has always been debate, either way over the rest of the stuff.

It is more a case of using Amazon charts as a sort of psychic octopus, predicting sports winners. Most want to laugh at the whole concept, but the day that octopus starts predicting winner after winner, everyone is off to the bookies to back its choice.

I'm not sure use of Amazons predictive original nature will come back though. There are just too many bundles now. We are gone from the days where there was one bundle of each in the top 20 and another in the bottom 20, and it was much easier to see who was top in the top 20 and say "there it is."
