Glad the Switch continues to top the charts!

It's meaningless because it's been out of stock all day. There's no way it should even be in the top 20 right now and clearly Amazon are manipulating the charts at the moment. They're probably doing it to promote the Switch until they get new stock in.

It looks like the Switch is taking sales away from the XB1 but not the PS4, although it's difficult to say because these charts don't ring true.

Next holiday is going to be one insane fight across US and worldwide.

I know a lot of people who pre ordered, but will be cancelling due to all the rubbish like extra for online, and it only offering rentals, not actual games for that extra cost. An extremely low number of actual games due out, regardless of the quality. The fabled 3rd party support being mainly old and last gen titles. With this business model of being very underpowered, but being in the PS4 Pro price range, it will tail off very fast. Which is a real shame, because Nintendo fills an hole nobody else fills. It is just not the reality of where things are going to end up when the dust settles. Which is a crying shame. |
My GF told me to buy a (NiS) today ( I didn't). Then she watched some video on the new zelda! I don't really understand what's going on.
She usually hate vg.
So I don't know about casual.

Does this frequently happen on Amazon?

No. When the Pro went out of stock it began to drop until it was back in stock again. It just makes sense really doesn't it. It looks like I'm going to need more than Jan and Feb to convince me Amazon is worth updating any more. I think Dec could just have been luck:

Still number #02 eight hours later and 'currently out of stock'. It's been nearly 24 hours now and a console that isn't selling has been at #01 for all that time and #02 for the rest. How can we possibly trust the Amazon charts any more?

I hope that Nintendo won't push games like "ARMS" for the Switch. The new Mario and Zelda will be awesome sellers for Switch's first yearin the market. I wonder how they will do in the USA, Read Dead Redemption can eat some of their sales if it isn't on the Switch.
Who the hell preorders 1-2 Switch?
Bet with PeH:
I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.
Bet with WagnerPaiva:
I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Fairly certain Amazon don't need to manipulate anything for Switch popularity. But if they are surely that renders this thread completely pointless as what is stopping them from manipulating past and future items, from any company...
