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.

Months actually

June: Halo MCC #14 COD AW X1 not charted

July: Halo MCC #52 COD AW X1 not charted

August: Halo MCC #32 COD AW X1 #45

September: Halo MCC #57 COD AW X1 # 84

October(so far): Halo MCC #19 COD AW X1 #21

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. 

Not everyone had an original Xbox if you didn't notice. And noone has played Halo 5's beta yet.

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.

Kinda what I gathered by the "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." as if it can never ever happen and it somehow makes MS look bad along with it generally being willfully ignorant.

I like how there's also always some good news going on in the XB Empire threads then someone who's generally a non XB tends to take said news and spin it in such a negative way.





Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Definitely undertracked

I think MCC will give the X1 the majority of it's Halo boost. I mean if you're going to upgrade to the X1 for Halo you might as well get it for the MCC. 3 games and the Halo 5 beta.

There's still a ton of people waiting on the full Halo 5 so they can have all 5 and a good 2 years of other X1 games out once they buy one.



It's a bit behind The Last of Us, here are the numbers from 4 weeks before it launched. 

The Last of Us boosted PS4 sales by 50% I think Microsoft is hoping for the same effect for MCC.

The Last of Us Remastered (PS4)
Sony Computer Entertainment America, Adventure
4 9,181 87,585


Don't copy random editorials.

Well, good thing it jumped up about 150,000 pre-orders magically.



Good thing it's suddenly at 252k.
