Does not affect this month *

Still at #01 and 'currently unavailable'. Another thing to take into consideration is the way the Amiibos and Switch software is offsetting the sales of the other two consoles. I bet you could add at least 10 - 15 place to both the PS4 and the XB1 if those were'nt there.

From what I know, the chart represents the best sellers for the past 24 hours. Yes, it is updated hourly, but that doesn't mean it is only the ranking for one hour. So, unless you see the item unavailable for 24 hours, you can't assume something is wrong with the ranking. 

Example: At 7 am January 17th they update the chart  t o represent the ranking of best sellers from 7 am on 16th to 7 am on the 17th. At 8 am they update it from 8am on the 16th to 8 am on the 17th. 

 

Anyway, it has been out of stock for more than 24 hours by now and still very high on the ranks so something is weird.  We need to look at third party sellers and how they're incorporated in the charts.
