Ugh. No, Amazon does not have a Switch bias. Please stop it with the quickrickisms

But just because a console wins on amazon, doesn't mean it will win in total sales across a country. That's always been the case.

Amazon has always got it right and that's been the case 99.9% of the time and only ONCE was that to do with people not taking preorders into consideration. To state 'that's ALWAYS been the case' is to show you've not been following Amazon. 

If it suddenly starts getting things wrong then it's because of how Nintendo distribute they're consoles, not because Amazon 'often gets it wrong.' 

If Pachter is right then we need to adjust how we evaluate Amazon. Switch is a new console and therefore we could be looking at a new paradigm. 

Excellent post.

Pachter: PS4 Will be Top Seller in the US in December, Xbox One Close Behind

 

Interesting words from the analyst. Amazon seems to suggest and easy switch victory. Maybe that site is biased towards switch sales? 

Switch consoles are constantly in the top 20 on Amazon yet end up with lower than the competition in sales. I tried to mention this before as well. It seems to do very well at Amazon but it's a fraction of what Sony or Microsoft are doing elsewhere. B&M stores or other digital retailers.

Very well said.
