Hmm yeah that is funny!

What's strange is that the Wii is #4 in Top selling???

I thought this amozon.com site was updated hourly?? They seem to be out of Wii's - except for independent sellers at rediculas prices... yet it's Still at number 4???

Do they extrapolate this for a period of time, say a full week, or month maybe? or is it what's selling for that hour alone?

It seems a bit dodgy to me.... How can we believe these numbers if it is supposed to be updated every hour yet the Wii is sold out OR it's selling for $350+ for the base system (nothing extra) and is sitting comfortably at #4 for the last few days???

If it's extrapolated for say the last 7 days, then Even if sales suddenly stopped on the PS3 it would still be listed as the #1 seller for 7 days, (as long as it's sales aren't surpassed in total), thus meaning the new number one seller at the time is not being displayed until it either overtakes the PS3 total or the recorded time is up.

Can someone please explain to me how amazon works like this? Is it by the hour or some other way? I am from Australia and have never actually purchased through them or an online outlet like them before.

Thanks.



It's me...  no really, it IS me!!!
