The point about amazon is it suggeeted a much bigger win for Switch. Its switch biased for sure.

Amazon has ALWAYS only ever been relaible at predicting ranks NOT SALES NUMBERS.  This has been accepted for years yet in recent months a revisionist, false narrative of it being used to predict numbers and ratios has been drummed up - borderline invented from whole cloth - by people who, for whatever pitiful reason, want to discredit the practice of tracking them.  And so I will say again - and again and again and again if necessary - the Amazon charts predict the end month sales RANKINGS not numbers nor the gap. 

End of story. 

Move. On.

In reality this issue arose from the fact people were claiming switch would win npd by big margins because of amazon data. People rightfully pointed out how it's Switch biased so that's not the case. Ironically your post was revisionist regsrding the root cause of this.
