So, after 13 updates, here a few thoughts :

- Amazon, Best Buy and Gamestop lists are updated regularly and items are ranked based on sales over a short period of time (hourly or daily). Walmart and Target are different with items moving way slower suggesting the ranking is based on sales over a longer period of time (which would not be really useful for what we are trying to do here...)
I will keep them for now but what do you guys think ?

- I will wait for March NPD results to confirm but I think I will have to change the point system to award more points to the items in top 20, top 10. As it is right now, I think the point system is giving too much point to console with loads of SKUs, even if each SKUs rank low. How I see it : #100 = 1 point ; #99 = 2 points ; ... ; #21 = 80 points ; #20 = 82 points ; #19 = 84 points ; ... ; #11 = 100 points ; #10 = 105 points ; #9 = 110 points ; ... ; #1 = 150 points.
Again, what do you think ?

- Off course, "weighting" retailers will be a thing as well. We'll decide how and how much after March NPD.

Other ideas ?

Yes for the first point and you can already include known market shares of each retailers. Problem is to find those numbers, they were regularly posted on Neogaf.

Great job, I hope you'll continue your work.
