You seriusly need to understand how Benji statements are.

He has a part of data for the US market, a data which is way smaller than NPD. Every time, he can not say for sure if a console won a month, that's why he is always catious with his comments.

In November, his data showed that PS4 and XB1 were way head of Switch, yet he still wanted to say Switch had a chance, for the simple fact that he know his data does not represents all market.

Same happen in December, he never said PS4 or XB1 had no chances.

Now, if he is saying that XB1 could "POSSIBLY" wins February, this mean absolutely nothing. He didn't even used words like "likely", "probabily", but possibly, in others words, he didn't even said his data show an XB1 victory.

What he said is that Switch is not doing much better than the others consoles which can suggest a big Switch victory, for what we know, his data could still show a Switch victory (even if small), in any case, the main point is:

Can we really get so much about a "possibly" XB1 victory, when Benji also said Switch could have possibly won December and PS4 could have won December?

 

No, i mean , XB1 can win February, of course he can, but we knew this even before Benji comment. Now, it would have been interesting if he would have said: "XB1 will likely win February", but if he only said that is "possible" for XB1 to win, then yeah... pretty much nothing to discuss, since "possibly" could be just as possibly as Switch winning November or PS4 winning December.

 

Conclusion: I'm not diminish Benji as a source, as you did in the past, what i'm saying is that his last dichiaration really does not tell much to us. He said that Switch is not doing much better than the others consoles and that XB1 has a chance of winning the month, something that, after January results, was already clear.

Pretty much this. I wonder if Nintendo will up their game in March and especially April which is the launch month of Labo and the start of a new fiscal year.

Btw, did you try to englishfy dichiarazione? xD

So "dichiaration" is not a English word? Well we always learn new stuff xD

So the alleged Switch bias is just in the U.S. or globally as well? Cause Switch is the top selling hardware on Amazon in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, and the U.S.

Haven't really noticed other than the UK and US charts.

SOFTWARE (Pre-orders Only)**:
Nothing at the moment

Does not affect this month: *
Software outside of the month only gets added if it's in the top 20: **

PS4: 3 in the top 100 / 1 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10 / 0 in the top 5
XB1: 4 in the top 100 / 1 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10 / 0 in the top 5
NIS:  2 in the top 100 / 2 in the top 50 / 1 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10 / 0 in the top 5

And with that, this will be my last update for the Amazon thread.

Simply put, I just don't enjoy doing the updates anymore. For the past few weeks updates have become a chore, and whenever I went online I'd think "Ugh, I better go check Amazon". It's really unfortunate because I used to really enjoy doing them when I started back in the fall. But the constant fighting and the lack of interest on my part has killed it for me.

Sorry for the short notice, hopefully Gribble or someone new can take over.

Your contributions have been very much appreciated but I stepped out for a reason, the very reason you are now stepping out. Certain people have turned this thread into a Youtube comments section and the good humoured discussions we used to have are now gone, supplanted by claims that 'what you are doing' is irrelevant. There's nothing more off putting -- and makes it seem a pointless endeavour -- than people using other charts to prove Amazon wrong, anecdotes to prove Amazon wrong while completely ignoring the incredible accuracy it's shown over the years. It makes you feel as if you're wasting your time. I felt like I was wasting my time too, and by the way these threads now play out, it IS a waste of time. 

Thanks again.  Let the monkeys have their zoo.

Thank you. I couldn't agree more.

Wait. Why are people saying that Switch and PS4 are about even worldwide? That is not even remotely true.

And you know this how?

And it's an unreasonable fear: WW they're basically neck-and-neck, so it's not like anyone is getting killed here.

I know, right? I doesn't make sense. This year will be close anyway... it's like people are not satisfacted having their favorite console performing well, they also need to see others fail. It's sad really.

I just buy all of them, so I can wallow in self-loathing and internal conflict.
