yup its gonna be interesting, switch was a far top of the list at gamestop, and best buy in december.  

Huh, that's funny. Even though you admit that Switch was at the top of not just Amazon, but also GameStop and Best Buy during December, you still thought that PS4 would be ahead by 400k.

1.1 million switch

1.5 million ps4

1.2 xbone.

And not just that, you were also proclaiming how useless Amazon was at the end of December because it (correctly) predicted a Switch win, which you couldn't believe.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8677741

But now, you say that December was a solid win for Switch at all of the retailers.

You have just admitted outright that your predictions are based on wishful thinking rather than any sort of evidence. What other explanation is there, considering how you thought PS4 would win up until the results actually arrived, even though by your own admission, none of the retailers backed that up?

switch is more popular online, that should be obvious. if we looked at amazon for December xbox should have been way in last place, but it was very close to switch, and beat ps4, even though 2 ps4 sku were ahead of it. the reason why ps4 lost that month was because there was no deals, and xbox  was 100$ cheaper till the last week of Christmas, and battlefront is a very unappealing bundle.

Are you purposely missing the point, or just trying to avoid admitting there are inconsistencies in your proclamations with subterfuge? You rebuked the idea of Amazon or any other online retailer predicting overall sales, now all of sudden PS4 and XB1 S being 1-2 places above Switch on Best Buy's website mean something lol. Are you a Gemini? Just curious, very yin and yang personality lol

Hey, so I know this is your thing, and I appreciate all the work you do, but I am curious why you are not including Oculus Rift and PSVR when they are in the top 100?



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
