Only 4 Xbox One games in the top 100. 3 of those are preorders.
Switch still holding firm at the top while Xbox is currently holding second (if you exclude the God of bundle that is only preorders)

The X looks to be losing momentum.

Losing spots doesn't necessarily mean sales are slowing.

The Direct caused a huge influx in Nintendo products having high sales, so they overtook the Xbox games.

On other words, it's the Nintendo games on the rise, not Xbox games on the fall.

Xbox games weren't doing that great before, probably around 5 in top 100. Besides, I mean Xbox One X is losing momentum as the highest selling Xbox One S is above any current available PS4.

Would you say Xbox users are less likely to buy on Amazon then?

Looking at VGC PS4 has 158m and XBO 129m when it comes to software. So Amazon doesn't really represent that. But at the same time the 360 had lots of software in the top 100 last gen and Xbox hardware on Amazon has done a good job at showing how it performs in NPD. I think Xbox One users are less likely to buy software on Amazon but I don't think it's the same for hardware.

You were studying software in the Amazon charts in the 360/PS3 days?

Na, I just checked out last Gen amazon rankings before replying.
