Thankfully this is proof that these amazon lists are just based on hits, not actually purchases.

Hits? As in page views? LOL No they're not.

It's called Best-SELLERS for a reason.

Ok, for the people that dont believe amazon charts are not 100% based on sales, wait a couple of days, I guarantee you will not hear anything on the news about ''mass amounts of gamers buy fake PS4 listings''.

Sully1331 answered his own question. Everybody and their cats knows not to buy from new & suspicious listings on amazon.

There will be no refunds because nobody brought them, its just based on site hits. Guaranteed.



This does show however just how much people want a PS4. If not then why are we not seeing this same tactic being used for discounted XBox Ones and/or WiiUs?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

It was just used for the Wii U like 2 days ago when there was an accidental $60 listing. Its most likely what inspired this scam.

You completely missunderstood what he said.

Those aren't sales because if they are fraud, they will be refunded and never shipped.  A hit is a Buy Now Click, not an actual shipment.  



Lol so in those few hours if Walmart and other companies were matching price, there must have been a lot of reduced PS4 sold, if people were paying attention lol.
NPD is really going to be interesting, but I still think Xbox One should still be one top lol.

To me foodfather is implying is based on website clicks.

Only a few were stupid enough to honor it. Some are computer savy and can see its a fake seller.
