The Halo Xbox One bundle falling down the charts doesn't signify falling sales it signifies declining ratios when compared to the PS4 bundles. How do you know sales are falling when the only numbers amazon is giving are not the sales themselves but the chart placement of the sales? For all we know the Halo bundle could be selling more but just not as much as the PS4 bundles hence the drop in chart placement. Historically whenever the PS3 or 360 received price drops the competitors sales would also rise due to increased traffic.

I said that because of the red arrow, not the placement. That's how the arrows work, red arrow downward means it's selling less than before. Green upward more than before. That's why an item can go down and yet maintain a green arrow; relative sales put it lower on the list but it's still selling more than before. The Halo 5 bundle has had a non-stop red arrow for a while now.

Nah, someone figured it out a few months ago.  It's just an indicator of if it went up or down compared to where it was 24 hrs ago.  Doesn't reflect sales numbers, just chart positions.
