In fact, Prime Day sales were higher than both shopping holidays combined in 2016.

Prime Day experienced a sales uptick of more than 60-percent compared to last year.

Amazon's Echo Dot smart speaker was the most popular item sold, but consumers also picked up fire tablets, Kindle devices and gaming consoles.
