That makes it worse. People would rather preorder a PS4 bundle for November than buy the Halo bundle for THIS month. Think about it. It doesn't change the fact that it's approaching 5 bundles ahead of the Halo bundle. We're talking about consumer interest, not what those 5 bundles mean in terms of sales this month. |
Yep I'm aware. COD and Star Wars bundles have been pretty high in the charts since announcement while Halo 5 LE console has only just recently just started to go up the charts.
Whats killing the Halo 5 LE console is the price. But this doesn't change the fact that there isn't a surge in X1 consoles being sold in preparation for Halo 5.
What is clear is that nobody should be getting carried away with predictions. People mostly preorder if it's LE console or the fear of a console shortage. There's no shortage of X1s and the Halo LE is $500. My guess is that the vast majority of consoles sales effected by Halo will be just before launch and the following weeks... and there will be a lot of X1s shifted. I think the PS4 pricecut will give the PS4 October but I'm not going to get carried away predicting huge margins between the two.
