Though I agree with Amazon being a reasonably good indicator -- some strange stuff does happen in their best seller rankings from time to time that aren't reflected in this site's sales rankings (maybe undertracked?)

For example, I just checked the best sellers list now. Here's a few things that'll make you go WHA??

AC4 on WiiU #40

ZombiU WiiU #51

WiiU Mario and Luigi bundle #89

And some crazy old PC games

All these were recently discounted and may drop off the sale charts in the days to come.
