No-one is. It's a scam to get Walmart to price-match.


People are "buying" them though, otherwise the rank wouldn't increase.


I know Makes me wonder who would be stupid enough to fall for it.

well this is the final straw,.. amazon can't be used to predict nov npd. between this and the redonkulous amounts of skus the results are just meaningless.

Amazon isn't showing me those cheap PS4s. Who exactly is selling them this cheap?

Makes me wonder,there are people who believe that these prices are  real?ranking is related to purchases,so they buy them!The question is:what are they buying and what do they pay :O

Looks like those bogus sales are included.   Hopefully it'll get corrected soon.  


Its already been corrected, kind of.  The scammers have been removed so the numbers should go back to normal in the coming hours as long as more dont appear.

hahahahhahahahahhahahahahaahah!so this is the reason that ps4 suddenly appeared 6th on amazon's top 100!i want the same for wii u to see what place it will take! :P

No, that's not the reason, the reason is GTA5.

 

The amount of sales from this scammers are probably minuscule, and they don't count in the Top 100 sales anyway. For it to count the sale have to be fullfulled by Amazon.


Yup, miniscule


So there are people who believe that this happened because of gta and etc?!Yeah ps4 suddenly went from 15th to 1st because of gta which has already released,passing smash bros u and pokemon sapphire which were constantly above gta PS4...NO COMMENT!


Sounds like someone is mad..

XBO has no chance. You see the Amazon best-sellers hourly chart is like the holy grail of the internet and we all know what happens when you disagree with something holy, you're an atheist.

So there you have it. Amazon declares the PS4 as the winner this holiday. The prophecy will be fulfilled. Mark my words.

You probably don't know, but will these "sales" also be counted in weekly and monthly? AKA is the damage "permanent" (permanent in the month, globally in the US)?

You won't get a response lol 

Why wouldn't I give him a response?  lol  

This is what I mean though.  A 20000% percent increase for Cubic Ninja, does it really mean as much as it sounds like?  Nah bro.  It's super impressive, and weird, but it's not like that means its selling millions of games.

Sales rank: 31 (was 6,077)

Cubic Ninja - Nintendo 3DS

Was saying it because noone else is giving responses after swearing up and down that amazon doesn't track these 3rd parties.
