Not exactly. I think 2 months were wrongish. November 2014 had PS4 ahead during BF, December 2013 had PS4 ahead.

I just checked and December 2013 had XBO #4 and PS4 #8 and November 2014 had XBO #2, #82, #100 and PS4 #11, #31, #79. That looks right so far.


My bad. I meant November 2013 and November 2014.

 

I figureee 11,31 and 79 is bigger then 2 82 and 100 as many others did and predicted PS4 win. But it did not win.


Could be wrong on November 2013 as well as I do not see PS4 in top 100 at all, despite winning the month.

How is Splatoon at 74 on the monthly? That's gotta be a glitch.

Nov 2013 was launch month for both consoles so you have pre-orders to contend with, which on Amazon get counted in previous months. So launch month does not really count. Amazon got Nov 2014 right. The only thing that was skewed was BF itself, but no one is suggesting Amazon is 100% right on an hourly or daily basis. The claim is that Amazon correctly predicts PS4 vs Xb oneNPD positions. And so far for non-functional months it's been 100% on that. No reason to think it won't stay that way for the foreseeable future.

I doubt the sales are high for a BF game. It's already $40 after 2 weeks at many retailers, even the digital version on PSN in Europe is already €15 off.

I never said it was unreliable with PS4 and XB1. Almost pointless for me to make a huge post if people cherrypick 1 sentence.


When not only was I talking about PS3 vs 360 in this situation but also that the major point that I was trying to make is that Amazon is more core then other stores...

You might want to check the OP of this thread on GAF. You'd be shocked to find out that Amazon is only comprises of a drop of the total of US sales.

Yes I already knew that. Thanks though. The other more popular stores are more mainstream.
