How long have locked threads been pushed to the bottom of the list?

Yeah, I remember very well when I crossed swords with Hus. He was one of those people that just absolutely could not handle the fact that the PS3 was in 3rd place, horribly expensive, etc.
These people were Playstation fans. They had never known defeat; the old king of the industry was constantly on the retreat from the Sony onslaught (in marketshare anyway). When confronted with the failure of their prophet, and the return of the king(TM), they reacted by blinding themselves to the unpleasant truth, and some of them, like Hus, went a step farther and began to see the opposite: that it was selling more, that it wasn't that expensive, etc. Needless to say, this made for epic meltdowns every time they were put in a position where they could not avoid the facts, and since we're on a sales charts forum, well ...

Most of these people have either reformed (at least partially), been banned, stopped trying to convince other people of the "truth", or at least stopped making claims that can easily and instantly be proved absolutely wrong on the spot. In a way, this is not as refreshing, because they are hiding their true nature, whereas Hus wore his insanity proudly and without self-consciousness. But that's what natural selection does in a case like this.

There are a few of the "old guard" still hanging around, like CrazzyMan. You can see the same mindset in the analysis he did where he attempted to show that the PS3 was doing as well or better than the PS2 did (I forget which offhand). But he and the others who are still around are still around because they didn't have the same batshit insane in-your-face style as the others like Hus.

So yeah, it's a different forum now.
