No, thats not why he got mocked.

He was saying Amazon is useless because Switch can dominate in the rankings but actually be only slightly ahead in actual sales.

Many people tried to explain to him that Amazon has never been a good indicator for actual sales, just for placement.

He got mocked for a few things and some rightly so. But he also got mocked for stating that Switch positioning on Amazon doesn't truly reflect how well it's doing. I think he even though he explained himself quite well.

Its not just what he says but the way he says things.

The way you just described it was perfect, "Switch positioning on Amazon doesn't truly reflect how well it's doing"

If he said that than basically nobody would have an issue but he goes to the extreme saying how its useless.

Its just like when a person on ResetEra who has sales data from one retail chain said his data showed PS4 winning Nov but wouldnt be shocked if Switch won.

PS4 ended up winning by a lot so Quickrick said his data was useless and kept making a big deal about it until he got banned.

Or another example is him constantly saying Switch will fall off a cliff to find out falling off a cliff meant sales remaining flat YoY.

 

He gets mocked because of the way he goes about things.
