I really wonder how Amazon's hourly rankings work. The XB1X has been unavailable for about 22 hours now due to selling out, yet it's still #1 in the hourly rankings. How does that work? If my memory serves me right this also happened with other consoles and hardware devices, it confuses the fuck out of me.

My understanding is that no other item has sold more in one hour, or multiple hours, that the 1X, still. That's why it's able to stay in its position.
