only if we can tell what the difference between say 1st and 20th is on amazon. And even worse between 20th and 21st.

Even when Amazon has been wrong the PS4 and Xb one have been fairly close on the Amazon chart, and IIRC neither console has been in the top 5 when Amazon has been off. For December the top PS4 sku is #3 and the top Xb one sku is 19. If Amazon is wrong this month then Amazon's back will be truly broken as a relative sales predictor and for the last coupld of years its correlation to actual sales rank has been a lucky streak.
I would be surprised if Amazon is wrong for December. There are more Xb one skus in the top 100 so the cumulative sales of those skus on Amazon might beat out the PS4 at number 3, but that would also be unusual given the sales ranks of those skus.
Edit: damnit, I was typing this post at the time NPD results came out.
