Why do people belive that adding 2 sku's would nearly double the highest selling one? It makes no sense. Ranks are always scalable going much higher the higher the rank. So a #30 is much higher than a #50 and #50 higer than a #64. So the combine sku's wont be past #40.

hell, i don't know if it is at #30, but definitive above #40... 

Based on what? You have no idea if 50+64 is still just 50, or if it's 20 or 10. Amazon might have 15,000 items in the video game category, but at some point in that list items will be selling at less than 1 item per day, and really far down the list the rankings will be based on when was the last sale for the item, which might have been months ago, but one day less than the item immediately behind it. If 49-50= 200 item difference, and 64=150 items then that means the combined skus still leaves it at 50. But if 20-50=200 and 64=201 then the combined sku would sit at rank 20.

There is simply no way of knowing what the combined ranks of 2 skus adds up to. The only thing we can have some confidence about is that the ACU bundle has dropped a lot, and it has probably not been totally compensated for by a corresponding rise in the MCC bundle.
