You know if you actually weigh the bundles you should get a clear idea of how the bundles are selling. If you think about like this, position #one means that it sold 100 an hour while position #100 is selling 1 per hour. Of course that's just a random estimate.

Let's say position #1 is worth 100 points while position #100 is worth 1 point.

PS4 Bundles
#10 TLOUR - 91 points
#22 UC Bundle - 79
#35 SW Bundle - 66
#48 CoD Bundle - 53
#58 Destiny Bundle - 43

Xbox Bundles
#24 H5 Bundle - 77
#82 Forza6 Bundle - 19
#83 Madden Bundle - 18

PS4 - 332 points
XBO - 114 points

PS4 is selling 2.9 times more than the Xbox.

It doesn't really work like that. Position 1 might be selling 1000 per hour, and position 2 might be selling 500 per hour and position 3 might be selling 499 per hour, and position 4 through 20 might be selling in the 400 to 498 range per hour. Or position 1 might be selling 500 per hour, position 2 selling 499 per hour and position 3 selling 300 per hour. There is simply no way to apportion relative sales to the chart as a whole. The one thing we do know is when 2 skus on PS4 are ahead of the top sku of Xb one then taking those 3 skus only PS4 is selling at least 2:1 vs the Xbone. But then when you consider there are other skus on the charts 2:1 is not certain.
