Let's curb the enthusiasm a tad. Sure it's a very good launch for a remakes and remasters collection but it's not blow your mind amazeballs.
Biggest Xb one launch for a MS published game, which means >62K. 7th best Xb one means less than CoD Ghosts, which on VGC is at 67K. That suggests a ~65K start.
But that would mean Ass Creed PS4 is less than that. Which seems a bit low. Considering doing the calcs for Ass Creed U comes to 150K for all formats (based on VGC numbders for CoD AW, which means 83K for PS4. On VGC that would make MCC the 6th best Xb one launch just behind Fifa 14.
No doubt GFK has the right of it with this data. So it will be interesting to see how or whether VGC reconciles this connundrum.
I personally would have pegged MCC at 100K for the UK, and if we go by VGC numbers for CoD AW it's likely to be close to that, but not much over.
At ~100k that's a bit less than 1/3 of Halo 4. If that's a sign of its LTD potential then in the UK it's headed for about 350K lifetime. Possibly 400K if we consider a growing install base will give it relatively better legs.
Dangerous to project it to a global picture, but 1/3 of Halo 4 would bring MCC in at ~3 million, which is lower than my guess of 5 million. But again growing install base could see it get better sales than that.
I expect with the aid of MCC Xb one would probably sell more hardware than PS4 for the week since the PS4 drop from CoD will be greater and CoD week hardware was close.
With 8 new entrants for the week it's interesting to see how much some games moved down the list:
Destiny down 8, so basically holds steady compared to non-new releases. Same with Fifa PS3, the PS3 and 4 minecrafts, FH2 360, Disney infinity only down 7 places. FH2 Xb one down 16 places. Sunset Overdrive down 13 places.
