250k-300k per week !  :0 !!!!! i hope they keep tracking these digital bundle sales, because surely they can just use the fable 3 bundle sales for halo reach aswell!

Yeah that's what I was thinking. If they end up not tracking them I made a thread a while back to track the digital sales of Halo Reach (using the Fable 3 sales)

 

But yeah I am hoping they continue to track them.

One of the problems with that is knowing how many vouchers are actually redeemed .

I can say... undertracked... there are Uncharted 3 bundles in US... PS3 sales is always underestimated here.

But that's fine... always have adjustments.

Underestimated, yes. Undertracked, not necessarily, and certainly not always.

Is Halo Reach digital sales? Or is the bundle hard copy?

Hard copy of fable 3 and a digital copy of Halo

This is the first time I've seen VGC track digital sales. It's not really fair because with digital sales, a lot of other games are actually 1 million sales higher then they are on VGC (GT5P, and Halo 3 for instance).

Agreed , it should only happen when we have  data for all digital sales , plus in this case  how do we know the redemption rate .

The chances of any significant number of vouchers not being redeemed is extremely low. People don't just turn down a full free game. 

And even if for some reason they could absolutely not redeem it the person would most likely give it to a friend or family member.

yeah, they should add digital sales for other games when they are available, but not adding them for reach when they have the data available seems ridiculous, and if they dont it will just cause more confusion in the future when they eventually decide to include them. and of course the codes have been redeemed, who in their right mind wouldnt use them??



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

If they atart tracking digital sales, not only should they do it for all consoles, but for PC as well. I know PC games sell much better then they are tracked here, and most of my PC gaming friends buy digital nowdays.

Go xbox go xbox, go go go!

360 comfortably sells 50k more consoles than Ps3s in the United States.

Not sure what to think of these numbers...

Strange that Halo is getting the DD sales counted, while Alan Wake (for example) didn't, in the exact same style bundle last Year.

I wonder if we're gonna get GT5: Prologue updated.
