But why ask a rhetorical question and expect a serious answer? There is an NPD prediction thread I'm sure you're aware of. 

No I'm just back from my adventure in Poland and Russia for the world cup so I'm out of the loop. Again feel free to actually answer my question if you want. 

Amazon's predictive value is pretty heavily compromised.  The Switch having only 2 SKUs on Amazon vs the multiples for PS4 and Xbone already distorted things (NPD has kinda confirmed this with PS4 winning months while Switch would have the highest single SKU).  But now Amazon and Sony are having a bit of a conflict.  Amazon has stopped selling PS4s directly.  The assumption based on Amazon's history is that they are pressuring for a better deal from Sony.  So right now, Amazon's just a single data point and not comprehensive.  It's plenty accurate for Switch vs Xbone right now but that's about as hard to predict as the sun rising.  So if you want prediction discussions, the NPD Prediction Tool thread is probably best.  Right now this is mostly just sales discussion and Amazon discussion.
