I really think the xbox is going to take the month. I know that Amazon says differently, but b & m sales are more important in December and the Xbox is crazily cheap in comparison to the other two.
It not taking a month in which the PS4 hovers around $70 more and in which it will sell Madden bundles at $199 would not be a good look. Sony is apparently content with it's sales this year and Nintendo feels no need to drop, MS is the only one pushing aggressive sales. It might hurt them next year, but it will win them December, I think.
If the PS4 had gone to $199 next week, that would have been my bet. I just think a $199 Xbox will be too cheap for an $249 PS4 to overtake.

Price is a poor indicator of expected sales performance.

I would agree any other month. If this were January, I would take the Amazon rankings to the bank or gamble them at Vegas. December is extremely price sensitive shopping, with b & m consumers picking the cheaper option. Now, Switch will have an easier time than the PS4, as kids will ask for that specifically, but we've seen before how the Xbox will outperform PS4 in December if cheaper. MS puts all their chips into the holiday, while Sony prefers to push sales all year.
