It's probably not surprising. Black Ops is a known sub-franchise for the CoD brand, so it should be expected that it will get better early interest than AW. The big question will be if there's growth or reduction relative to Blops II. That's your benchmark for CoD health. Damn, is the highest XB one sku on the hourlies really the MCC bundle at #52? That's crazy. Has MS trained people to wait for specials, and so without a special the level of sales plummets? Is the Madden bundle already shipping, with the download only fully unlocking on release day? I assume the Early Access content can be accessed now right? If the Madden bundle is already shipping it's not performing all that well. And PS4 version of Madden is ahead of Xb one version. Next monthly update PS4 Batman bundle will be ahead of Halo 5 bundle. Are people surprised at that? Probably not, I imagine it's expected for future release bundles to shoot up the charts then fall back quite a bit once the early pre-order craze is over. Since LE bundle is coming with a digital code rather than the physical game, would it be smart of MS to actually start shipping the bundle before Halo 5 releases, as soon as the game has gone gold? It is the one advantage of having a bundle with a digital code rather thanthe physical game. |
Halo 5 bundles are going out a week before the game launches, on the 20th.
