Not according to the NPD predictor thread. We should be looking at that thread for a better picture since we already know that Amazon is heavily skewed towards Nintendo. 

Once symbois fine adjusts that thread, it could be something really reliable.

Disagree on this, what that thread currently tracks very well even as its being tweaked are the swings in sales and it clearly shows a relative decline for PS4 so far this month while the switch had a noticeable upward swing at the beginning of the month which has tapered away but not by much.

While it will take some time to tweak the thread's points allocation system to correlate with sufficient accuracy to NPD, relative performance in sales for the devices can already be seen to a reasonable degree. So it is not completely unreasonable for anyone to get excited about the potential outcome of May NPD for the switch even if its a bit premature as we are only about half way through the month.

The other factor as well is that the thread is curently predicting a high margin victory for the PS4 in April compared to March and if this is the case, the swing for May might still not be enough to make it lose its leadership position in sales.

I think I see the PS4 settling down to around Switch sale levels but still above. PS4 is a good margin ahead on the daily average also. 

Anyway, my point is use the NPD predictor thread for NPD claims instead of Amazon. Amazon is so out of whack  at the moment, especially with stock issues.
