I really doubt that digital is a big part of the $400 millions cause there are 3 possibilities 1) The leakers are full of sh... (very unlickly for hardware, but I am having a hard time believing those software numbers for the new leaker Andrew_NPD). Because if those numbers are right that will make the game at 1.150 millions not including digital (but including bundles) between US and UK. If I exagerate and give the rest of the world another 40% retail that would put it around 1.6 millions retails. Now again if I exagerate again and put digital total at 60%. that would put it at 2.5 millions WW. Still not enough to reach that $400. 2) MS included anything that can be considered hardware. Even if they had done this, I just don't see the math going to $400 unless they are adding shipments. Now I don't think retailers will take that kind of shipment if they were not sure to sell them. And if this is really shipment, then they have a lot I mean a lot of stock left to sell from hardware to software. 3)Now the third possibility for me is where some part of 1) is true and other part of 2) is true. I am not going to say that Andew_NPD numbers are fake, but it seems very unlikely. But I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now cause I don't remember a case where numbers were updated in an NPD thread becaue of bad leaks. |
Well... Not if Digital is bigger than your expectation :)
NPD does not include them at all so it would make a lot of sense and I know my experience cannot be considered as mainstream but again, me and my friends (6 of them) bought it digitaly. And I really think it is starting to gain a lot of traction... Microsoft made a Halo 5 dedicated tab the Xbox One dashboard etc... They are pushing a lot for it.
