You have pretty much summed up and explained what most rational posters have been trying to explain for days. The SO bundle has literally 3 units avilable from a 3rd part seller at the time of my post going for almost $100 above retail value yet it is still "in the top 40"

People seem to think this is a real time sales per hour of the quantity for an entire year condensed to an average of each hour....constantly flowing. The daily updates for the year so far of 2014 have shown us that the Xbox One SKU at 98 has not even sold enough during this spike to even move from 98th position for the year ahead of Command and Conquer Ulimate Edition that is nearly 3 years old.....not aggregate sales but just in 2014.

Movement on the 2014 yearly sellers list will point toward sustained and substantial sales whereas this revolving hourly door does absolutely nothing to project sales. But in an age where many feel compelled to tweet about what ingredients they are puttig in their salad for lunch and people then feel compelled to validate those ingredients with immediate approval we find ourselves in this predicament.

The 2014 list hasn't updated for 3 days

How do you know?

In the Xbox Empire thread we were monitoring Halo MCC's placement on the list. For a while it moved 2-3 places up the list till it stopped at 76 or something for a few days, then it was randomly at 63 one day. Its stopped there again.

So you really have no idea because it was at "76 or something" then at a different number. It could be stopped because it isn't moving relative to sales of other products over the last couple of days. I honestly don't know but I think that argument is pretty weak and not very substantive unless you were tracking all 100 products and saw stagnation across the board. It could very well be true but you don't make a compelling case and to state it so matter of factly I suppose fits right in with the mantra of this thread. Little information lots of conclusions.
