Yes, of course and nothing is set in stone. What you have to realise it that the only time the console that lead on Amazon still lost is when pre-orders were involved. So last month when the XB1 won by 28k, it was clearly the two months of Halo pre-orders that tipped the ballance. This month the PS4 has been in the lead easily for 3 weeks, has been in the lead for that last week AND has been at number 1 for an unpresedented 4 days. An indication of how much better it sold because of being at number one is born out by the fact it's shot up to #5 in the monthlies. Now add to that the fact pre-orders for the Black Ops 3 (two months prior to this month) and Star Wars (three months prior to this month) are WITH the flow of sales and not against it as it was last month. It just seems against all the known data to call it even close. If you are right, and I very much doubt it, we can only put your assessment of the data down to wishful thinking. In fact I'd say you can't possibly be assessing the data in any meaningful way and are in fact ignoring it. |
You could be right, we will have to wait for npd and see what the damage is.
