This is the section I was referring to:

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

There's no real reference point, since it includes all 100 places. The top section is very granular, but the tally reveals very little about how each respective console is doing. Plus, over time, we could see what brackets really do matter and, more importantly, don't matter.

Yes, I know what you mean but just a glance at the actual chart shows you that.

It shows you the placement of each bundle, yes, but I was talking about more useful, digestible information. It all depends upon what your objective is; is it to consolidate or compile the information. Ultimately, this tracking will probably be obsolete in a month, as there are an unusual number of bundles available this holiday.



Tomb Raider is RISING fast! Some thirty 30 odd spots today alone (Hooray!)

Probably due the fact it's being sold for $49.99 via Prime. (Hmmmm)

I also got an email that it was on sale.

But you still have all the positions of all the bundles in the chart that gg submits every few hours. You only need to look at that to know where all the bundles are placed.

Of course, but the final tally of bundles provides little to no useful information, essentially unprocessed data. It would be more englightening and revealing to see the density of bundles in certain brackets. If we saw cluster of bundles, in a traling bracket, that were traling a singular bundle, in a leading bracket, we would have a clearer picture of the sales competition.

It might work for you but not me. You can get a better, quicker and more accurate picture looking at the chart than the method you suggested. It's purely to show the amount of bundles in the top 100, which for me goes nicely with the more accurate breakdown with the chart.

I don't think anybody here looks at the total bundles in the top 100 and think "6 XB1s and 6 PS4s in the top 100, it's pretty even", they look at the chart and quickly deduce what the current situation is. Although I get what you trying to do and in theory it sounds good but practically it's not needed.



MGSV (PS4) at #1 priced at $40. Tomb Raider up to 23rd.
