Unless of course Amazon isn’t representative of actual sales. We know Amazon US isn’t. Same thing with software. Bayonetta 2 is the best 5th best selling game in February on Amazon UK. We know it didn’t do very well though.

So, if you’re deducing that VGC’s numbers are incorrect based on Amazon then that would likely be incorrect.

Amazon US is certainly representative of sales, its just not in absolute terms........and there is a technique to interpreting the chart. There is a reason why Amazon US is followed and statistically correct in predicting the NPD winner 85% of the time.

Note that my point isnt that the Switch is selling more than the PS4, it is simply that based on Amazon trends, the current ratio of PS4 to Switch cannot be correct and that I expect to see a correction in the future.

How would you know what the ratios are based on amazon rankings? Just based on the ranks, the Switch should be way ahead of the PS4 in sales in January and yet it was not. And keep in mind that Amazon does not represent the whole market.
