They did. Sony already has a Destiny, Metal Gear Solid V (I think), and Battlefront one though. With COD they'll have 4 for this holiday season, which seems like enough.

5 including Infinity.

But yeah maybe that's enough, i guess it depends on how 'limited' those earlier bundles really are (destiny + mgs), pushing them from sept all the way to Xmas.

Anyway, if AC doesn't have a bundle it'll be first one since AC 2 not to get one (the last games five had one), shame to let the streak go.



hoggin' all the action, I see...

Ok, i recently see some Zhuge write on twitter, and he said the pre orders for Black Ops III are bigger than Advanced Warfare... so, yeah...
Of course i'm not god and some times i'm wrong, i accept the crow. :P
That said, the game is still not out, so, we will see. But i rise my PS4 and XB1 prediction.

If CoD sees an increase in software sales, that could be great news for PS4 hardware.

As i said, those are just the pre orders, we don't know if CoD BO III will sell more than AW first month and of course lifetime, but yeah, with those Amazon track i should expect this...

I predicted 1.6 million for the PS4 version of CoD BO III first month in the US. Maybe 1.9 million?

Over 2million should be insanity...



Appears Until Dawn is stuck between #35 & #40, at least for now.

It's probably not surprising. Black Ops is a known sub-franchise for the CoD brand, so it should be expected that it will get better early interest than AW. The big question will be if there's growth or reduction relative to Blops II. That's your benchmark for CoD health.

Damn, is the highest XB one sku on the hourlies really the MCC bundle at #52? That's crazy. Has MS trained people to wait for specials, and so without a special the level of sales plummets? Is the Madden bundle already shipping, with the download only fully unlocking on release day? I assume the Early Access content can be accessed now right? If the Madden bundle is already shipping it's not performing all that well. And PS4 version of Madden is ahead of Xb one version.

Next monthly update PS4 Batman bundle will be ahead of Halo 5 bundle.  Are people surprised at that? Probably not, I imagine it's expected for future release bundles to shoot up the charts then fall back quite a bit once the early pre-order craze is over. Since LE bundle is coming with a digital code rather than the physical game, would it be smart of MS to actually start shipping the bundle before Halo 5 releases, as soon as the game has gone gold? It is the one advantage of having a bundle with a digital code rather thanthe physical game.

Halo 5 bundles are going out a week before the game launches, on the 20th.

Both physical and digital are up there though and the pre orders always dictate the actual sales. See Batman, Destiny, Dyling Light and every other third party game that was higher for Ps4.



Jesus:

COD PS4 #1/#2/#3/#4.

I think it's going to sell well ...

I don't wanna say I told you so, but I told you so

 

But remember that includes digital preorders too.
