I think x1 is under tacked quite a bit this week. 145k the week of SO BUNDLE. Just no.



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.

I think matchmaking is getting better.

I wonder if VGC has stopped counting the digital game copies that come with physical bundles as physical sales? That would account for Sunset Overdrives lower than expected sales here on VGC. BTW, Sunset Overdrive was still the 2nd highest ranked Xbox One game digitally a week after it released, only behind Minecraft.

That would explain it, I can't agree with it after counting some in the past tho.

how often are you finding matches? 

for me, it's rumble pit that works the best.  



Just so you guys are aware, Sunset Overdrive released 31st in UK. 27k is one day of sales

For me I'm finding a match like once every 30 minutes, far cry from last night where it took 2 hours to find a game. Still horrible time should only take like 30 seconds at the most these days to find a lobby of people and play.

That is true for most new releases, but still week 1 sales are still the highest with bundle and game pre orders. 

the official tracker shows that it sold more, that's what matters anyway (not vgc).

I imagine it is undertracked, just giving you guys a heads up.  Id imagine around 200+k for its first 3 days on the market.  Because that is what is tracked on VGC right now, 3 days in America and 1 day in UK and Europe im pretty sure as well.  2nd week which will be 10 days will be around another 200k.  Id say youre looking at 1-2m lifetime. 




       

It was pretty obvious that unity was gunna be a mess when the embargo was AFTER release. So shady. Ubisoft won't ever make a GOTY. Far cry. Won't get it. I think it's gunna be dragon age, or dark souls.

What I really don't understand is why MS finally started to advertise a few games for XBO in Germany but only multiplat games. I mean, they have games which people can only play on Xbox like FH2, SO and now the MCC and instead of telling people about these games so that people think "ohh, I need an Xbox to play that" they tell people that CoD and Asscreed are on the market with an ad campaign on TV but almost everyone knows that these games are also on PS and PC...

Sure, if you have nothing else use multiplat games but MS can't be serious to have exclusives without telling people about them. Shouldn't these games be the main reason to choose an XBO instead of a PS4? I doubt that people will think "ohh I need an XBO for Asscreed"

It's just unbelievable how stupid they are sometimes... They could even make a single commercial for FH2, MCC and SO and say something like "these and more only on Xbox" or whatever...

Not sure if it is the lack of confidence in their exclusives or that they think "our exclusives don't need commercials, they will sell consoles from alone"
