How are hourly sales calculated then? Is it not just how many units it sold in the past hour?

No, all these numbers are going through some smoothing function (simplest way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average ). Otherwise random noise would bounce stuff around like mad.

Back in early november (3rd?).... there was (and still are?) 199$ Xbox One S Battlefield 1 bundles.

It just didnt do much.

Its the hourly sales avg out over a periode like a day or something.



If there is a 199$ Xbox One sku that includes a game already, currently ranked at #38, what on earth is the incentive to buy an Xbox One for 10$ less but without a game?! Battlefield must cost at least 10 bucks right!?



That Xbox s deal for BF is just terrible.

I imagine it has to do with the algorithm Amazon is using to rank these things.
