The neon blue/red Switch is behaving normally for an out of stock console. Explain.

I think I tried to explaain this to you before. It has to do with rate of sales first and then allotment of sales.

if amazon recieved 1000 units for the NS. and they sell out in 1hr. that may be enough to get the NS to say 3rd position on the hourly rankings cause in that 1hr it sold faster than everything but the top two items in the hourlies.

But then you consider the amount, it will only drop in position in relation to time when other items are selling just as well or have outsold it. So technically, if we use a bigger shipment for this example of say 10k. If the switch sold 10k in 1hr it will go right up to number 1 on the hourly and maybe even weekly or monthly. Its rate of decline (even if it sells nothing) will be based on how quickyly and well everything else sells. It won't drop in the hourly until the ratio of sales to time of another time beats its own ratio in relation to whatever given amount of time it has taken. the monthly will be harder to affect cause the other item has to outright sell more than it to topple it since the time here is a constant and not a variable.
