Do we have an idea of Amazon, Best Buy and Gamestop respective market share for video game hardware sales ?

Maybe tracking the three websites together would give a better picture ?

Yeah I agree. There should be three people tracking all three with one person taking one website each.

Dude i never said that lol

I'll make a schreenshoot of our conversation and i'll show it to everyone. ( in a few hours, now i'm at school)

 

You probabily missreaded what i said, as i was talking about the weekly sales trend so i removed a week, but i never said that that extra week would not count in our bet lol

 

The bet was always January NPD + February NPD + March NPD regardless of the weeks

its fine, i got this in the bag :)

You shouldn’t have accepted such an unfair bet - too many handicaps against the PS4. 3 to be exact.

First of all, HE asked for the bet.

Second, there is absolutely nothing unfair , the contest is pretty clear, Switch selling 910,000 the first 3 NPD of the year.

I'll thank the lonely boy who'll continue to keep track of the Switch rankings in Amazon after that NPD blow.

Maybe it'll get it right for the next 3 months and people will believe in it firmly again.

Well, people are tying to use the data for something that it doesn't claim to do. Amazon is accurate in tracking sales from Amazon.

Where did that 910,000 come from?

PS4 sales in 2014, simple as that.

So you don’t see how that is unfair to the PS4?

1 week of sale less, supply issues, $100 more expensive.

The point is about Switch first real Q1 VS PS4 first real Q1.

I can see your reasons, but i mean, in the PS4 VS Switch comparation, lot of times "unfair" comparations were made for Switch, expecially during launch when we compared PS4 holidays months VS Switch normal months. And i really don't like the "unfair" word. Just an advantage from the other side, but numbers are numbers and are comparable.

And like i said, HE asked for that bet, i literally just accepted.
