Huh, that's funny. Even though you admit that Switch was at the top of not just Amazon, but also GameStop and Best Buy during December, you still thought that PS4 would be ahead by 400k.

1.1 million switch

1.5 million ps4

1.2 xbone.

And not just that, you were also proclaiming how useless Amazon was at the end of December because it (correctly) predicted a Switch win, which you couldn't believe.

But now, you say that December was a solid win for Switch at all of the retailers.

You have just admitted outright that your predictions are based on wishful thinking rather than any sort of evidence. What other explanation is there, considering how you thought PS4 would win up until the results actually arrived, even though by your own admission, none of the retailers backed that up?

switch is more popular online, that should be obvious. if we looked at amazon for December xbox should have been way in last place, but it was very close to switch, and beat ps4, even though 2 ps4 sku were ahead of it. the reason why ps4 lost that month was because there was no deals, and xbox  was 100$ cheaper till the last week of Christmas, and battlefront is a very unappealing bundle.

that doesnt hold true because npd tracking for December actually started on November 26th, thats why it had a good showing in december npd. It corresponds to xbox one winning November on Amazon. Those BF week sales were counted in Nov for Amazon, but Dec for NPD.
