179k seams low. I'd say it should be higher in US. Also I know ioi has x1 at 70k in china but didn't it get announced at 100k.And forza did a little better than I thought probably 275k worldwide.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

So what is the numbers for the 4th of October Hardware sales wise? I personally think x1 could win this month's NPD and should win November



After seeing the amazon numbers I'm slightly surprised about Horizon 2 doing 175k, that's pretty good. For comparison it did higher than the original Horizon which VGC has @ 157k FW USA. It's also a higher FW than what Forza 5 did, VGC has that @162k. Could this outsell a main title (forza 5)?

FW USA Forza Comparison (VGC numbers)

Forza 4 - 200,080
Forza 3 - 190,692
Forza 2 -177,113
Horizon 2 - 175,246
Forza 5 - 162,037
Horizon 1 - 157, 592



XBOX ONE GETTING CUSTOMIZABLE THEMES, BACKGROUND PICS AND SCREENSHOTS

 Share.
Spencer gets beat up on screenshots.

Microsoft is working on introducing customizable themes, background pics and the ability to take in-game screenshots to the Xbox One, head of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer confirmed.

“I was told themes and background pics are something that we are working on and screenshots, you know people beat me up on screenshots,” Spencer said on a recent Inner Circle podcast episode. “The team has done a great job with the monthly updates, some of the things are just a prioritization and are a time in development.

"But I know that people like to customize the look of their dash," he added. "And I think both themes, backgrounds and screenshots are things I know people want so we are going to deliver on them. But we can’t give a when yet.”

Microsoft has been rolling out monthly updates to the Xbox One, with each iteration introducing new features, changes and bug fixes to the system. For instance, the console received updates to the activity feed, profiles, new media app, the capability of playing 3D Blu-rays, the Snap Mode ability for achievements and more voice control commands. You can find out more about the new-generation system and its updates on our ever-expandingXbox One Wiki.

Wasn't Xbox One up at least 25% last week on the Movers and Shakers from Forza Horizon 2 and Shadow of Mordor?

Also, Software for Xbox One in US is up 104% but Hardware is down 2%, it makes no sense.

Yeah, it was up about 25% on Amazon's charts last week, I also noticed an increase for Xbox One on Gamestop's bestsellers list last week. I definitely think VGC has it undertracked in the US, possibly in Europe as well (leftover FIFA 15 boost as well as FH2 should have pushed more than 29k in Europe).

Especially in the US since Forza and Shadow of Mordor both doubled FIFA's sales.



Theme and background customization? YES!



Is the sales prediction league counting 360 and X1 sales or just X1? If it is both, I underestimated it big time.

I agree, I'm pretty impressed, it must have got a lot of preorders considering how quickly it dropped on both Amazon and Gamestop after it released. Not sure it'll have the kind of legs that Forza 5 has had though, not to mention Forza 2-4 on the 360. I know the Forza 5 bundle has pushed alot of copies of the game over the last several months. But then again, FH2 is climbing Amazon's charts again (it was down to #95, it's back up to #76 now), possibly because of Driveclub's mediocre critical reception, so maybe it will have decent legs afterall. 

It'll be interesting to see the European and Global numbers (probably tomorrow), it was actually ranked higher on most of the European Amazon charts than it was in the US. Hopefully it'll beat the first week for both FH1 and Forza 5 in Europe as well. 

And somehow it hasn't cracked the top 100 yearly list hmmm... glad it's holding on in the hourly list for now, looks to be doing fine in the uk. It's going to have a pretty solid FW, maybe there is a hope for Horizon 3, good news for Slade. xD

Horizon's my first REAL racer that I've enjoyed. Not very good at it, but man is just driving around addicting. I'll definitely take Horizon over the Motorsport series though. 

But yeah Horizon 3 would be awesome :)
