What is this thread for? This thread is meant for general discussion of Amazon Japan's video game-related rankings and sales. Just like other countries, rankings change hourly here. Unlike the monthly Amazon US threads, Japan's will fall under one umbrella and will instead be a continuous discussion, similar to COMG.
What exactly are the hourly charts? The hourly charts are not actually the bestselling products from the last hour. Instead, they're the best selling products from the last 24 hours, but updated hourly. This is why things don't fly around the hourly charts all the time, but it instead changes gradually. The green and red arrows also work based on the last 24 hours. The arrows have no direct correlation to sales, but instead illustrates the change in positions relative to their ranking 24 hours ago.
Where can I find individual platform rankings? I'm glad you asked! Below I've listed each platform that has a separate page.
PS4 // PS3 // PS2 // PS Vita // PSP // Wii // Wii U // DS // 3DS // PS2 // Xbox One // Xbox 360
In addition, here are links to miscellaneous game charts that don't necessarily fall under the previous categories:

What's there to talk about? What isn't there to talk about? New Japanese games will be popping up all the time, so sit back, relax and watch as the rankings go crazy! (Just don't flame bait because that ain't cool)
In general, just treat this as other sales threads and discuss to your heart's content!

P.S. Props to the awesome Skullwaker for hosting the original Amazon Japan thread! :)
