I really wonder how Amazon's hourly rankings work. The XB1X has been unavailable for about 22 hours now due to selling out, yet it's still #1 in the hourly rankings. How does that work? If my memory serves me right this also happened with other consoles and hardware devices, it confuses the fuck out of me.

Same thing happened with the Switch back in January. Who knows.

Yeah. If the rankings were simply by units pre-ordered/sold in the last hour it should be rock bottom since it's not available. Confusing as hell.

I didn't say they were going to discontinue the One S, my man, I just mean that the bulk of their advertising and marketing is going to go towards the X, unlike Sony, which kept their marketing on the base machine. Of course the One S is going to get more bundles, especially for Black Friday, where it will probably sell for $199. 

I wasn't implying you were saying the One X would replace the One S. I was noting that MS's attention was on the One S since they were putting deals around the One S and not the One X.

I just don't see why MS would put more attention on the One X when their sales are most likely going to come from the One S. All the One X really is a an upgraded Xbox with that plays the same games, basically catering to the more hardcore crowd.

One X has already passed the Pro in the yearly ranking. Honestly didnt expect that to happen.

Oh wow! 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Yeah, this is very puzzling. I think the ranking isn't very accurate.
