friend of mine works at gs and the site is seeing some pretty good halo 5 pre-order numbers from people who buy halo mcc. and the gs also has sold out of its AW x1 and SO x1 bundles. Unity x1 bundles are still in stock but are selling fast.

anecdotal, but they're a pretty high volume site, so it should be a trend to be observed across most gs sites + other physical retailers.  

Oh GAME. Releasing skins for consoles now?

Microsoft.. Just send more bundles asap before it's too late.

The skin is ugly, the bundles themselves are alright. Good deals.

just wondering, does npd take into account amazon or online-only retailer sales?

MS undershipping, who'd thunk it!

yup.  they definitely underestimated the white xbox one's popularity and that isn't doing them any good at the moment.  

The white bundle is easy to find in Europe, somehow Japan (they like many different colors) didn't get it... And US is the only territory having problems with the stock.

Weird.

Hopefully, they make the white sku a standard alongside the black sku.  

I know of several people who prefer a white console in their entertainment center over a black one.  I personally went with the white sku to match my white asus monitor.  

In US bundles are being sold at a discount. In Europe price is the same as before.

XB1 still undertracked guys, by about 300k+
