1. Its 4 times not 2. 4 times is a lot because for the whole Q3 they have been wrong.

2. Well word of mouth usually happens between friends. Ig someone friend has a PS4 they will want one too, but if someone friend has an XB1 they would want one too. 

But not evenly. Remember, FFXV skews towards the PS4 a lot, so inherently, the PS4 version will have bigger word of mouth.

Also to respond to your response to CGI's comment, that only applies if other retailers offer deals, but Amazon doesn't follow suit. In this case, Amazon is price-matching all the other retailers, so the hardware trends on Amazon are similar to those in Gamestop, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.

Other retailers have price match and we don't trust their rankings.
