Didn't we already determine with the original Switch preorder thing that the hourly is not a strict hour to hour chart but the monthly, weekly, etc are all normal?

I don't bloody know any more. All I know is I never saw it with the XB1s or the Pro. Both of those console slipped down the charts and I certainly never saw any of them just up 20+ places while they were out of stock.

Nintendo has the habit of releasing their preorders in little jolts, never enough to actully satisfy demand. Microsof/Sony don't do this - they just put all of them up for preorder, untill its gone. In a sense, they ARE actually pinning their console on the charts artificially for advertisement, not by manipulating the algorithm, but by outplaying it.
