I know that Amazon is one of the worst indicator of sales and everyone despises those who use it, but when did that joke occur?

I think it was Dolla Dolla who started it, or at least he was the one who usually posted the seal pics. Maybe one day I'll hunt for the post where it all started.

Good luck trying to trace this urban legend. I know neogaf and ps3forums use this seal/amazon thing as well.

So, VGChartz started an internet meme?

Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

Sugu yoko de waratteita

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

I will never leave you

Xbox 360 is also above the Wii on Amazon Japan - I wonder how that works out?

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

amazon are trying to get people to buy from them.. In Australia, I think it's Target, it's a a Father's Day sale anyway.. There's a Wii bundle with Wii Fit, Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 all for $499 when a Wii on it's own is usually $399. $250 saving!

Edit: My point was that it isn't a lack of demand but if a store can get a consumer in the door for something then they are more likely going to sell them something else as well.
