why odd. i just explain to you, how this works.

bloodborn was never high in the top 100 hourly for july
than the prime day deal happened and it shoot up to 8 in the monthly (didn't chart before)

No, the fact the Fool's edition PS4 is always around #50 and has only just shown up in the monthly charts. Something is definitely wrong there. Or at least it was.

because the hourly is no actual sales tracking top 100?
the ps4 fools edition is only sold by third partys. the sales are extremely low, no matter if it hover in the #50 area

 

also the hourly ranking is based on previous sales and sales expetations
its an algorythm

 

just google amazon book bestseller list manipulation
and you will find out how it works
