It was the best selling bundles for that month with the next X1 coming in at #40. NPD October had the X1 at 200k. So if its at 200k with the highest console at #40, the Halo bundle must be around 60-80k preorders? September is a no show though so what do you think, 70-90k preorders going into October? Or does that seem to high?

Not sure how you're coming up with those numbers. Is 60-80k the percentage of what Amazon sells? Because I thought when it comes to pre-orders themselves the % would be higher online than if it was out and on sale. But I'm just speculating.

It's a complete guess. Trying to get a figure which is very hard as we only know NPD . Just trying to make a rough guess using the Amazon rankings but we have little to go on.

The Halo bundle outranked Until Dawn that month which sold 90k NPD. Rare Replay outranked the Halo bundle which sold 109k NPD. From that we get around 100k. But like you pointed, I believe most pre-orders come online so that figure will be lower. So that's why I said 60-80k-ish. September was a no show so another 10k maybe? Couple that with it out ranking all other X1 bundles. NPD had X1 at 200k for August so the bundles at #24, the preorders must be a good amount.

This is a wild stab in the dark. A very wild stab in the dark but just throwing it out there to see what other people think.
