So September npd numbers are in and ps4 dominated. Once again that wasn't reflected on amazon.

Were you expecting Amazon to reflect NPD? We've known it hasn't been an accurate indicator for a while, try this thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=235297&page=1#

Considering it's not been accurate since the switch came about i wasn't actually expecting it to be. But just like myself and others for years commented every single month about how amazon was actually accurate we can comment now when it isn't.

 

Why are people so defensive over this? It's not like I'm coming in every day or week mocking it's inaccuracies.

No one is defensive, it just seems pointless to come in here and ask the same rhetorical question after every NPD. But hey man, do you

It's about as pointless as it was saying amazon was accurate back when it was. If we've reached the stage where we shouldn't even ask if it's accurate anymore then what's the point of the thread. It was set up to see if the trend on amazon was telling us about npd. 

 

I don't just come here once a month to post that as you can see, but after every npd I will continue to raise the question. It's very relevant. Someday it may become more accurate again.

Yiu are coming in here knowing full and well that Amazon isn't an accurate representation of the market as a whole so I don't know why you have to come in and say it. Clearly The market draws from more than just Amazon so it's not gonna be accurate.

False. I wasn't sure although i expected it. But even if i knew I'm entitled to comment. Why are there w bunch of people getting sensitive over this? Like it annoys you the fact it isn't accurate?
