Some Amazon Numbers for 2007

Amazon has a press release out with some interesting numbers for 2007, for those interested in them. It’s already been going around the web, but here are some I really like and a few further links at the end. (Data seems to include .com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .co.jp, .ca)

  1. Busiest Day December 10th: 5.4 million items ordered, 62,5 per second!
  2. On peek day their fulfillment network shipped 3.9 million units!
  3. COMMENT: Kind of means that the average person buys something like 2 items per order right? Roughly. Interesting.
  4. They shipped something to Borrow, Alaska :)

Following are some amazon.com numbers (with hotsellers being nov 15th until dec 19th):

  1. When in stock, Wiis sold at 17/sec … but they are rarely in stock I think
  2. In video games top seller was the Wii!
  3. In DVDs Harry Potter and “Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series” among others
  4. In consumer electronics Garmin GPS, Canon Powershop and Samsung LCDs
  5. In PCs MacBook, Nokia Internet Tablet! (two shares I hold and items I have ;))

Gizmodo has a further list with mosted wished for and the like. Very nice.
