Why is the MCC bundle of Xbox 1 doing so badly? wasnt it supposed to overtake the assasins creeds bundle?

It was close at one point, but it looks like its loseing grounds to it now.
People just not in the mood for a remastered Halo game?

Its halo... it should be selling gangbusters right?

The AC bundle has better value than the MCC bundle, at least in my opinion. And as Nuvendil said, MS and 343i screwed up with the online portion of the collection and problems persisted for months.

I was like... Why on earth would GTA5 be rank higher on the Xbox One (9) vs PS4 (10).

Then I saw that the Xbox One version is $20 cheaper.

I think people also see the mcc as one game, while assassin creed as 2. When you think about it, the first halo will feel the same as the other 3, specially to those who only play multyplayer. While theese 2 asassin cred play slighty diferently. Maybe thats why people see it as better value.

This issue is compounded by us not knowing how Amazon tracks the bundles: you can use either SKU to select either bundle. Does it track the bundle you chose or just the portal you used to buy it? Who the hell knows lol?

I would think the ACU bundle will settle in the low 20s once the month is over. Thought it might remain in the top 20. It will all depend on how the items that are in the 17-25 range now do for what's left of the month. a lot of items that are ahead of the ACU bundle on the hourly chart are not going to end up very high on the Monthly chart because they have not sold consistently well through the month.

I mean people talk about the excessive remasters on the PS4. When MS is trying to do the same thing with MCC bundle as its main bundle. I think it should be obvious that a brand new exclusive game like Bloodborne would be more desirable in a bundle then a multiplat bundle like AC or remasters like TLOU and MCC bundles.

I guess that explains why it was called Project Beast

Also, what's going on with the MCC bundle? Not long ago, it was in the 50s and now it's #73.

Bad MCC word of mouth.

Xbox 59 and 64 hourly? Looks like the people have spoken, the Assassin Creed bundle appears to be the better deal for the general consumer.
