You missed my posts that could explain this odd situation:

If the objects ranked higher than PS4 have a big turnover (if they stay not long in the top 100) but at the same time sell more than PS4 sell in the whole month then there could be 200 objects that sold better overall during the whole month than the PS4 "fools edition".

But this month is only 9 days old and for those 9 days the PS4 has been at around 50 and the XB1 1TB bundle as been below that. How can the PS4 fools edition sell less and be above the XB1 1TB ALL this month?

People keep trying to explain it away, but it is VERY obvious there is something wrong with how Amazon applies the standalone PS4 SKU numbers.  And why is it even showing up in the DVD/Bluray player list at all?  globalisateur's theory is thrown out the window when looking at prior months.  Last month, the PS4 standalone was ahead of the Wii U most, if not all, the time, yet only the Wii U made it into the monthly bestsellers.  There's no way something could surge ahead to make the PS4 drop out of the Top 100, but not the Wii U.
