I suppose VGChartz could be undertracking this game, but I doubt that the discrepancy can't be that great.  I would assume that this game won't move too much consoles either.   Everyone who would be interested in this game has already played this game.  I'm not sure I would prioritize spending $60 to play a game I've already played when there are too many NEW games to play in November such as COD AW, Far Cry 4, AC Unity, Sunset Overdrive, Dragon Age, Civilization Beyond Earth, LittleBigPlanet3, and the Crew (Dec).  Most people has finite amount of cash.

Last of Us converted Xbox gamers to come over to the PS4.  However, I don't think Halo MCC will convert PS gamers to the Xbox1.

I honestly think it's under tracked by 100-225k. It's been above cod(x1) for weeks on amazon, bestbuy, and gamestop. Frank o conner(guy in charge of 343) has even said it's been pre-ordered very well. Phil spencer said today or yesterday that he thinks the game will sell "significantly better" than halo 1 cea.
For the past 4-6 weeks it's been very very high on the amazon, gamestop, and bestbuy list yet vgchartz has consistently had it at the 1-2k range. Also it's 86 on the amazon best seller list on the year yet vgchartz has 11 games ahead of it while none of those 11 games have sold better than it on amazon.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Biggest problem I see here is you. Did your mother never tell you that if you think these preorders are wrong, chances are, they are wrong.

its 86th best seller of the year at the moment gaining 3 spots per day on average. Weeks from release and constantly ranked higher than COD on every major sellers chart. Idk you have a habit of making threads like this and get banned for stepping over the line.

The Last of Us Remastered is #26 in Amazon's best sellers in 2014 for gaming.  It's only sold 1.53m.

I think the success of Last of Us is a little exagerated.

Anyhow, I don't pay attention to pre-order charts anymore. Alien Isolation and Forza Horizon 2 wasn't even on the pre-order charts but had decent openings.

I think the whole pre-order chart is completely made up.

lol you trust vgchartz these days??
considering how halo mcc has been performing on charts preorders, its massively undertracked on vgchartz.

the point i was making is the OP has a bias, he always makes threads like this and gets proven wrong in the first one or two pages then says something and gets banned. From what i just said we can also tell it has more than 80k preorders.

The preorder charts are useless. TLG showed up, that should tell you enough.
