So came back after being gone for a while. Haven't trawled through all the pages to find where the PS4 276 number comes from, anyone what to cacth me up? Boutros didn't put a reference in the OP.
Anyway a close but low selling month for Consoles Xb one looks impressive YoY because Oct 2014 it was still $399 and of course we have Halo.
Complete wow at only 1 million physical for Halo 5. Basically existing Xb one owners kinda stayed away from the game. 150K-ish I guess from the bundle, which doesn't add much, but if the best selling opening week of all time on XBL store really means > minecraft week 1 then we are probably looking at around 1 million globally(?) of digital sales to existing Xb one owners, which is completely amazing and will end up being a very substantial % of total game sales. It will be totally impossible to get a good sense of the Halo 5 LTD even if we get decent accuracy in the physical sales. My guess is digital for Halo 5 might be in the 30% to 40% range globally.
What else is interesting? What has the ban count got up to?
I guess VGC is way off with NBA2K. But they might be not far off with NDC. If NDC 2nd and 3rd week drops are quite large, and the fact VGC counts bundles, it's possible that 8th spot on NPD, even in a low selling month could be in the 300-350K range.
