So what? Amazon lists are not representatitve of anything else than amazon.

That's basically what he was saying also, if you look at their dialogue a bit further.

Of course true but it gives a fairly good indication of whats currently in the public eye, + every time Ive looked they do mirror what happens in NPD

at the moment oct NPD looks like its gonna be wii->ps3->xbox360

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2 will perhaps be in the top 10 (Ive never heard of it) as well as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

for november Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 followed by New Super Mario Bros will lead (duh)

appaantly theyre updated every hour (though I cant see how that works since I assume some things will not sell every hour, thus it must use a moving average)

I thought that the whole point was that Amazon isn't reflective of NPD which is why they've constantly had the PS3 ranked higher than the 360 even when the 360 was outselling the PS3 according to NPD.

Thus the whole, Amazon isn't indicative of anything but Amazon?

yes that would be true if the statement "PS3 ranked higher than the 360" was correct but as I pointed out before its a factually wrong statement
