It is not a long way from release though. The bundle comes out in just 16 days, other big bundles, like the Destiny one, were cememted in the top twenty by that stage already. The Halo bundle will do great, and X1 will win the month, but the bundle is underperforming right now against expectations.

but its 500$, of course its going to under performe. the halo 5 effect will happen at launch on the 27th. when the casuals come in to buy halo 5, and a new XB1 at the stores. they will just get an XB1 at 350$ and halo 5 with it. most wont bother with a 500$ bundle.

While I agree some will just walk into a store and buy a XBO, I think it's also likely that many who have wanted to play Halo, may have already bought a XBO. I mean if the $499 bundle isn't appealing to them, there's really nothing stopping them from buying a XBO, now. They could just buy a normal one, or one of the bundles for $349, then preorder the game. Given that is a good choice, I think it's very telling that the PS4 still has several bundles well ahead of the XBO SKUs.
