You made a little mistake with your calculation.

It's > 68k + > 30.5k

So it's very close but not necessarily above.

But honestly those week 2 numbers are amazing, never doubt Naughty Dog, I guess.


Oh you're right, I forgot to subtract that 37k.

But yeah, for a summer remaster it's sales make me excited for Halo: Master Chief Collection numbers. Especially since it won't get its sales cut off the next week by COD this time around like Halo 4 did.

Halo MCC is going to sell gangbusters, probably more than TLOUR since Halo was more popular than TLOU last gen and there is incredible value for fans with 4 games in the collection and releasing in holiday.

The only question is how much it will boost HW. TLOUR boosted 60k (by vgc numbers so probably 80k in reality) on 1st week and probably will have a total effect of 200k by itself and a nice library adition effect. How much do you expect Halo MCC to boost X1?

Well it'll be the continuation of the Sunset Overdrive White Xbox One + COD AW boost. I'm not sure how much more MCC will add on to that.

Why celebrate TLoU:RE being number 1? Because of this, other developers are starting to release a ton of other "remasters", remakes and re-releases. You already have several people calling this generation, "the generation of remakes".

Interesting, is that a sign PS4 GTAV is drawing near? ... but I guess I'll know that tomorrow evening

Yes, it will be a powerful 1-2-3 punch, a week off then Black Friday. November sales should be massive.

Freaking crazy for November. My favorite time of the year.
