When does NPD come out?


October NPD is next thursday. 

Did the leakers on GAF even say they would give their info like normal? Last NPD all the data leakers said they were done leaking NPD info. As far as I know that has not changed. Most vgc members seem completely unaware of how we get NPD numbers here. From GAF. And that we verly likely will not get them any time soon.

Damn Halo MCC at #55, also COD at #91 with PS4 version nowhere to be seen.

Really wondering if Halo MCC can outdo COD launch in the US on XB1.

at this rate, i wouldnt be surprised it makes it to top 30 by launch day, which would be pretty insane.

heck, its already insane that a remasrered collection is so high up on the charts.

I always thought it would, then again I'm a Halo fanboy.

Depends on what you compare it to. Do people really think it will sell as much as a brand new title did for 360? I doubt it. To say it will do nothing is ludicrious, but you cannot attribute all sales in the holiday season as due to one game, ever. There is a natural progression of sales in the holidays no matter what comes out.


I do believe it is obvious that one reason it is increasing is because Halo MCC.  And i do believe the biggest comparison would be Halo Anniversary.

And the Xbox fans never claimed it to be as big as a new Halo installment.  

And yes there is a natural progression, that same progression that every title ever gets.  So with that said, Halo MCC looks like it will be one of the biggest games on XBO/PS4 since launch.

Assuming that the One is at 6.4 million units sold at the end of October, it would need to sell an average of 400k for the next 9 weeks to hit 10 million by the end of the year. Any one think it can do close to this?

If Microsoft and stores advertises the sweet deals to be had when trading 7th Gen for 8th, yeah.

I bet it can even surpass that mark, if they can extend that deal globally.

Those deals should be limited and just a mean to catch up on sales. Because after that, word of mouth and games will browse in full swing.

Maybe, but Call of Duty is also in the Call of Duty bundle so you cant just look at Call of Duty sales individually as plenty of people are buying XBO for Call of Duty as well as people who already owned one.

That is very true, still there won't be a big gap like their normally is between COD and Halo, and this isn't even a mainline Halo ..

 

Makes me wonder if Halo will regain the top spot this generation on Xbox.



 

All 3 bundles (SO, AC, COD) are frequently bought together with Halo MCC, Amazon wise.

As i said, its pretty obvious Halo MCC is playing a big role.  With it being top 10 constantly you can see that.
