Taken King is selling more on PS4 as well, the bundle is at #13.


No.. You are not understanding.. Taken King is an upgrade..  For those who HAVE IT.. mostly..  SO one would assume it will SELL better on PS4..  The Bundle doesn't count, as most of those would be new owners..  Not current. 

The physical edition of The Taken King retails with the Destiny base game + all expansions. If you jsut want The Taken King and you already have Destiny, you'd purchase it digitally for 40$, instead of paying 20$ more for content you already have. So those buying The Taken King Legendary Edition would also be new players.

As for Destiny Bundle. Yeah I think it's more the beautiful PS4 than Destiny TTK which do the job...



But for someone who doesn't have Destiny, the "ultimate" edition would be interesting.



forza bundle at #30 nice.

Of course BF is nit the entire month, but I'm sure it's more than relevant enough to pick a winner if there is no balance when it happens, whoever wins BF is bound to win the month, even more as people actually hold their purchases to be done there as it'll be chepear, so the month as a whole minus BF kinda loses some sales (because of BF, so the actual month really gains lots of sales).

Don't you remember last year? The XBO with the price cut completely dominated USA sales in November, and PS4 had a GTA bundle (BF only though, very limited).

I also remember that $50 price cut the PS4 got on eBay with a store days before BF, the thing was selling over 1/s, every second you refreshed that page it went up, and it was like 3am.

Price really matters in November and December on USA, specially the closer to BF.

Well we'll see but Star Wars is already the top selling bundle on Amazon and it will run through September and October and into November. Sony will have great deals on Black Friday too which are likely to cancel out any advantage MS would normally gain.  Last year MS used the trick of creating panic buying by telling consumers the price drop was only until january, but I doubt they can pull that one again.

I doubt MS would even want to do that, again, anyway.  Not with all the momentum they lost when sales plummeted at the beginning of January.

I think the TLOUR bundle has probably hit its demographic by now and I can't see TLOUR pushing consoles to people who have no interest in the game. There are probably still a lot of people who would enjoy the game but they're obviously not the sort to take a risk. It needs sweetening further. I would add Driveclub to the bundle.

Its already free, so all they would need to do is advertise that both games are included. It can work wonders.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

The Forza bundle is doing well. Though I suspect a little bit like the TTK bundle the special edition console is doing more of a job than the game. Still it might win some new fans to the Forza franchise, which is good.

Man Star Wars already the top console sku for the month. I hope they have loads of those LE PS4s in production because I think they might be able to sell as many as they make. Hell, some star Wars fans who don;t even play video games will buy one of these PS4s because they just buy everything starwars related.
