No, the monthly is fine.

At least I was right, in this thread there are 20+ pages where the same people, that in every Amazon thread always talk about how the ps4 it's destroying the xbox, who has discussed of absolutely nothing, already calling a ps4 domination based on data that isn't reliable.
I'm going to have a guess.
The rankings are updated hourly but factor in sales over the past week. But the older the sales, the less influence. So sales from 1 day ago would hold more weight that sales from 5 days ago for example. The high BF sales is holding it at number one. There is little lag in the hourlies, we know this because the bundles shot up the charts within hours of going on sale.
We already knew that.. That's why we look at yearly and monthly to begin with. Hourlies are an indicator of trends. The bigger charts are an actual ranking of sold amounts.
Monthly chart makes sense. Hourly does not. I am going with BF to Cyber Monday broke Amazon's algorithm for hourlies.
psn- tokila
add me, the more the merrier.
The weekly has PS4 on top because it includes Cyber Monday. The monthly only started on Tuesday.
Seeing as how December NPD includes cyber Monday, that weekly chart is indeed more relevant (for now) than the monthly for NPD purposes.

That's odd, but you really believe (given it's clearly slightly wrong) that the WiiU is at #1 in the US? For me, it shows there's something wrong with the monthlies, not that hourlies. |
I agree. Every other time, the hourlies have correlated with the monthies in showing trends. I think something is going screwy with the monthlies due to the holidays. Wouldn't be the first time, considering we have had it where the PS4 standalone would be in the hourlies all month, but mysterously vanish, reappear, then vanish again from the monthlies.
I'm sure some want to hope the Wii U is all of a sudden starting to outsell the others decently, but that ain't happening.
