What happened to Switch? About to drop to 3rd

Could be because all the preordered games in Amazon rn. It's way low because of them

Yeah that chart does look a bit loopy. Not impossible, but we are slowly getting towards the season where this tool could face some issues.

I agree.

For this month, I will provide two averages for PS4 : - One with the numbers we have, - One with only taking into account one or two (undecided so far) days of the PS4 million (at least for Gamestop where those items are still there when they have been sold out day one...). 

We will then use the better method when limited items like PS4 million come out in the future.

That plus the promotions at both Bestbuy (factored the least into the score here) and Walmart (not factored at all) stealing sales from Amazon and Gamestop

If an item says "Out of stock", remove it. It's literally selling nothing.  The 2TB Pro was only available for one day.

Also the NBA bundles are launching September 11th, they wouldn't count in August.

Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

I disagree. There is only a certain arbitrary maximum amount of points that can be gained for a single day. If the items are still ranking after they were sold out, it just shows how much more they had sold than the other items. There's no point to limit in this case to the arbitrary maximum if it's still charting after it sold out.

About, your first point, I will do both (counting 1 day or everything) this month and see which method works best.

About your second point, I didn't know that, I will fix for sure.
