Amazon predicted the winner right but the rang gap between both consoles is completely wrong when you compare it with npds sales data. Both consoles sold basically the same and Amazon rankings are

NSW-13, 17

PS4-34, 53, 63

It never has and it never will. Why are we still having this discussion after all these years? Amazon only predicts the positions, not the sales ratios. 

It's not going on for years. PS4 and Xbone are both home consoles and share basically the same market and have the same age demographic. That indicatess that the percentage of online shoppers on amazon are equal.

The switch on the other hand is not a classic home console, beeing a hybrid console raises the question if it's still comparable with the traditional home consoles on amazon. Maybe the percentage of online buyers is higher.

The first month of switch sales were determined by stock and not demand. Now after Christmas sales is the first period to see if amazon is really a good indicator. It will be interesting to see if amazon stays a good indicator when the rang gap between both systems is not 20 places. It could be that ps4 will win those month were the gap is < 10. That's at least what I would guess. I could be completely wrong but why not discuss it.
