Including bundles? I thought NPD didn't count bundles? If that's true then it's much worse than expected.


Well all he had to do was add the retail version and add how many Halo 5 bundles were sold.

I wonder if that guy is legit? If he is this Halo situation just went from bad to worse.

They definitely count how many units each bundle sold, and you can then use that number and add it towards other sales. We also got some loose numbers for the PS4 Destiny bundle released in 2014.



Heh now come on, we already know it's bad for Halo, even if those 303k consoles sold were all bundles it doesn't change it one way or another.

Wait until you hear how much of the total sales were sold digitally. Even worserst maybe.

This is what makes me laugh about Gaf:

Thank you NPD_George.

Troubling for both MS and Sony. Halo didnt do much, and price cut didn't do much either, in fact PS4 is down YOY.

Next 2 months have a new angle applied to them, are people turning their backs on home consoles ? :(

I wonder why is so easy for people to belive in these BS insiders. They can´t do even basic algebra

Do we really have to start every sentence with 'If this is true, then ...' or can it be implicit no one is investing 100% in what this guy is saying? In the mean time:

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'taking one to the knee,' but I would like to tell you that in the October 2015 U.S. Games Industry Sales NPD Report, Ubisoft's new Console Software SKU and best-selling October 2015 title 'Assassin's Creed Syndicate,' sold 391K units.

This is down significantly from the previous 'Assassin's Creed Unity,' but please keep in mind that the previous title launched in the Holiday Season (November 11th, 2014) and it was included as part of a prominent Xbox One bundle.

Perhaps a more apt comparison is to Ubisoft's 2013 iteration 'Assassin's Creed: Black Flag,' which released on October 29th, 2013.

In the October 2013 U.S. Games Industry report, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag sold 620K units in five days on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 launched, while in the November 2013 Report when the titles launched on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the title sold 1.2 million units.

It is unlikely that Assassin's Creed Syndicate will leach the lofty heights of its predecessors.

391k for Assassin's Creed? Nah I find this impossible to believe.



I think this NPD George gonna get banned. Lmao

Hoping Bish checked him though. Infos are hard to get by nowadays.
