This game looks great. It will sell even without this bundle. 


It's a couple of months from release and barely anyone outside of the core community knows it exists, and it's release window is terrible.  This game is not going to sell well no matter how much you want it to


How much do you think it sells?

They should've gone with a white XB1 Cod:AW bundle instead.

So what kind of numbers do u expect SO to do?

Well, it makes sense. Both Microsoft and Insomniac are pushing this one pretty well, it's getting great reception...a bundle seems only natural (and smart).

Well without a bundle i'll say 600-650k WW as of Jan 1st.  What are you predicting for it?

900-950k WW as of Jan 1st. Good numbers for a new IP on a system that isn't selling well.

Meh, I'd rather have a Master Chief Collection Bundle. Sunset Overdrive looks promising though, so hopefully this bundle ends up as an actual thing.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I guess that's the part that I have an iffy feeling on. Come September X1 will be out in more territories and then around Christmas Xbox always sells great. That along with the big hitters releasing around that time I believe SO will get lost in the shuffle and not have a chance to define itself. SO should have been a April/May/June release imo.

Maybe I'm out of touch but from everything I've seen, Sunset does nothing for me.

I think way more exciting games are coming from 3rd parties this year.

Well, I'm getting a X1 this holiday season if this rumor is true!
