Forums - Sales Discussion - Amazon U.S. May bestsellers and general Amazon-based discussion

Yeah, I have followed Amazon JP for a while, I guess it isnt very accurate because of wide retail presence of both Platforms and the popularity of the Nintendo online store in Japan. The 3DS for example always  regularly beat the PS4 despite being generally behind  it on Amazon JP.

It does show when there are boosts though, so the PS4 should sell better next week but I doubt any boost will be enough to overtake or even get very close to the switch. I still thimk there will be at the least a 10k difference.

Amazon being accurate was always more a happy coincidence in the US.  Amazon, despite appearances, isn't *that* big.  They aren't even the largest online retailer.  And they are far from the largest games retailer.   They just happened to cover a very representative vertical slice of the US market.  

Thing is, in Japan it is even smaller and its appeal is pretty obviously quite a bit more uneven.  



Mario Tennis Aces gaining some pre-orders from the Tournament demo I see.



Pokemon did pretty good. How long was it available for may? 4 days?

It was revealed the 30th.. so assuming it went up on Amazon that day... 2 days?

Damn Pokemon and MTA are beasting. Really glad the quality of Aces seems to go around the switch players. I thought it would perform okay but i think it will sell well now looking at preorders.



KH3 is at 146. It's coming. :)



Well.. i guess MTA is really going to be some sort of a hit, didn't expect that. I hope Nintendo learns that it pays off to make polished title and they can easily take their time with 1 system to support. Switch will shoot gems like this every year if they take their time.



Holy shit! The demo worked!!!! Amazing!!



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Let’s Go is truly a causal game. Can’t beilve that ugly rat is winning over Eevee.
