1-10: 0 Bundles

11-20: 1 PS4/0 X1 Bundles

21-30: 3 PS4/0 X1 Bundles

31-40: 0 PS4/1 X1 Bundle

41-50: 0 PS4/1 X1 Bundle

Etc. (with your, better formatting, of course)

Is it really necessary though? It seems like extra work to show what most of us already understand. One look at the actual chart and you can see it at a glance. It started out as just an indication of how many bundles were available for both and then I just started putting how many of those bundles were actually in the top 100.

I think I'm going to change one thing though, if people are happy with the idea:

(20 -> 10) means console up from
(10 <- 20) means console down from
(<>) means none mover
(><) means re-entry.
(new) means new bundle

Would people be happy with that or would it overcomplicate things?

So...just to be sure, considering Ps4 october pre-orders and current amazon number, i think Ps4 have a huge lead is the gap is getting bigger.
It's me or Ps4 is winnning novermber before blackfriday sales?

*Looks at avatar...refuses to fall for time-traveler's trap.*

 i don't get it. So what ya think abot november NPD? i think Ps4 will win, october Pre-order on Amazon are very strong, Cod and Star wars bundles have nice numbers that will realy bend the balance in Ps4 favor, IMOH...

Ignore. It just makes it more difficult to see what's happening at a glance.

Yeah I agree with gg, that doesn't look great and hard to make out at a glance. You can see the positions so it's just overcomplicating it and making it worse in my opinion.

You could add what you suggested on the end of the rankings gg, I would change non mover to (-) and Re-entry to just (re-entry) though. Trying to remember the difference between (<>) and (><) might be a pain. While a dash is self explanatory.

Tell me if you prefer this way of presenting the movers:
(20 -> 10) means console up from
(10 <- 20) means console down from
(<>) means none mover
(><) means re-entry.
(new) means new bundle

1 hours since the last update:

#14 PS4 Black Ops Bundle (13 <- 14)
#21 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle (22 -> 21)
#25 PS4 Star Wars Bundle (<>)
#30 PS4 Star Wars Standard Bundle (30 <- 29)
#38 XB1 Fallout bundle (41 -> 38)
#40 XB1 Halo Bundle (39 <- 40)
#68 XB1 Kinect Bundle (74 -> 68)
#74 XB1 Gears Bundle (78 -> 74)
#82 WiiU Deluxe (83 -> 82)
#84 XB1 Madden Bundle (82 <- 84)
#85 PS4 Destiny Bundle (90 -> 85)
#87 PS4 Fool's Edition (81 <- 87)
#95 XB1 Forza Bundle (89 <- 95)

PS4 - 5 bundles, 5 in the top 100 (plus standalone)
XB1 - 15 bundles, 6 in the top 100

No i dont prefer that way but thats just me.

I can just leave the explanation there for a while until people get used to it. I'm not sure about the changes though. Look at the example above and tell me if it just complicates it.

edit: I don't think it's worth it to be honest.

The old format is better.

Yeah, I'm not bothering with it. People should be able to see at a glance what went up and what went down. It just forces people to scan across the information unecesssarily.

Oh, no, that's far too complicated for what I had in mind. I was envisioning leaving the first section (of placing) alone and changing the second section (of totals in the top 100) to brackets that tally how many bundles fall in those respective brackets (groups of 10, 20, 25, whatever works best). Right now, the tally just shows how many are in the top 100, with no differentiators, so bracketing those tallies might make it more impactful.
