The year is almost over and that means that Amazon’s 2020 bestseller list is effectively nearing its end. The company keeps track of its best-selling items in multiple categories, giving an idea of what the public was interested in in the past year. What does the chart look like during a year of lockdowns and health anxiety?
Perhaps not surprisingly, many people purchased video game consoles, game titles, game-related gift cards, smart displays and speakers, and Internet of Things devices for the home in the past year. It’s easy to see the entertainment and convenience value that comes with these devices during the year that many people have rarely left their homes.
Looking only at the video game categories at the moment, Sony currently dominates the list with PS Store gift cards in first place, followed by the PS5 Digital Edition console at No. 2 and the PS5 console with a disc drive at No. 3. Xbox gift cards are ranked number 4, followed by gift cards for Nintendo eShop and Roblox.
When it comes to Electronics, it’s not surprising that Amazon’s own products have topped the charts; After all, the list is about Amazon’s shopping habits. The fourth-generation Echo Dot, Fire TV Stick 4K, and Glacier White Echo Dot took the top three spots. The Echo Show 8 and 5 smart displays as well as the Echo Flex mini smart speaker took the next three spots.
Roku also makes multiple appearances on the Electronics list, as does the Instax Mini movie, Nintendo Switch, Wyze Cam, and various accessories, notably screen protectors for the Nintendo Switch.
Finally, when it comes to consumer devices at least, the Camera & Photo category has Wyze Cam and Wyze Cam Pan in the top two spots, both beating Amazon’s Ring Stick Up Cam which came in third. Telescopes, binoculars, pocket microscopes, spy cameras, and digital baby monitors also have a notable presence on the list.
