Either the the PS4 is somehow beasting even at 349$, or the hourlies account for a longer time period than my assumed 24 hours. Maybe 72 hours? That's the only way this makes sense to me, because I honestly doubt it's still selling well enough to remain at #1. The arrows work on a 24 hour basis though, so it's odd.

It has to be a longer running average than just 24 hours. Sure, the PS4 was doing ungodly high numbers for the NDC!disc bundle to be able to get to #23 in the yearly rankings already, but sales had to have dipped now that we're over 24 hours past the end of Cyber Monday and the PS4 has gone back to $350. But maybe sales have dipped a lot but not enough to keep it from falling from the #1 spot. I guess we'll find out as the week progresses.

But once the regular PS4 bundles do go back to $300, I wonder if MS will follow suit with a similar deal for at least the Gears bundle. The PS4 winning December is probably guaranteed anyway, but a whole week of the PS4 being at $300 and the XBO being at $350 will result in an even more lopsided win.

Yeah, like I said, I think it could be 72 hours, or 48 hours. But the arrows are 24 hours, and that's easily confirmable (is that even a word? ). When the PSN cards inevitably eventually rises to the top, we just have to see when their green up arrows dissappear. I've done so in the past, and it takes 24 hours, so that has to be it. But the charts themselves might very well be for a longer period.
