Forza Xbox One skew is up to 32!

Glad to see it's doing well. Not the best Forza but still a great racer!

We might see a 100k difference in sales this month. Don't take my word for it though, I'm nearly always wrong.

Could do. Forza is the big sku for this month, and hasn't broken the top twenty yet even a day before launch. Madden has already gone, Gears is on the way down generally as well.

It will compensate a little for the Halo month and hopefully Starwars will too.

Yes, the Star Wars bundle will only count for November. I'm talking about the Destiny bundle which was ahead last month too.

I think the battle here is Destiny Bundle and Forza Bundle.  It seems evident that Destiny is winning this battle.  I think he is saying that the Destiny Bundle will sell enough to create a 100k difference.   October looks solid for both with Xbox One having an edge and Novmeber... well, Star Wars is an enormous IP.

It had already built up a lot of preorders last month and this month it seems to be doing the same.

It is and it isn't. Some Star Wars games don't sell all that well, and I feel like with Battlefront having no story mode it will not do nearly as well as somepeople hope/think. However, what always sells well is Star Wars merchandise, and the Darth Vader Special Edition PS4 is exactly that, which means it will sell-out no problem and give PS4 a crazy november boost which would not happen if BF was just bundled with an ordinary PS4.

There will be a tension for people who are both Xbox fans and Star Wars fans. Ordinarily the decision is a no brainer you get the same game no matter what platform. But this time with the Darth Vader PS4 the Star Wars fan will usually win the battle and buying the Vader PS4 will almost be a must. I can imagine never taking the Vader PS4 out of the box for such a person though. You are buying it as a collector's item not an item to actually use.
