Well that good because it means that it sold well enough.

Not.

Its been consistently outsold by almost every PS4 SKU. It probably means that it had low stock.

"Well enough" for Microsoft could be 100k or 10million copies as we dont know their expectations of the game.

My guess is that the game flopped. Horribly.

Right now it is at No. 103 on the Amazon Top 100, and the game NEVER cracked the Top 20.

It is almost certain that it will sell less than Forza 5, and it will be the least selling Forza game ever.

Well if its not sold by microsoft and by 3rd parties now it means that it reached expectations in the US so it sold well.



This bundle won't do anything. Bestbuy sales are more than likely still lower than Walmart, Target, and Gamestop, and Microsoft stores are a blip on the radar. The price is $50 above the non sale lowest price, this is not going to do anything. The heading reads like just wait for this to be $349.

Gamestop makes up the plurality of the marketshare followed by Walmart. I don't remember if the retailer in 3rd place is Target or Best Buy, though.

That said, remember when Best Buy had that 40-inch Samsung TV + MCC bundle/AC bundle for $499 in August? The PS4 still outsold the XBO (albeit by a tiny margin). Compared to this deal, the TR bundle is very lackluster.

This holiday, Xbox is offering unmatched value and choice for gamers with a diverse mix of bundles starting at $349. Every day this week, we’re adding new Xbox bundles to our holiday lineup, giving fans more ways to experience the greatest games lineup in Xbox history. 

Man totally dissing their own past platforms. I don't really know Xbox games historically but is it even true?

And I got toally fooled by the $349 mentioned n the first sentence. Cunning...or stupid... of them to leave the actual price to the end?

I was on the thread when he was banned so I saw it... and Smeags ban was great, even tough  he isn't Sony centric, but a very fair guy.

I'm already thrilled imagining the numbers after the price point hits 299


Smeags is a great guy.

PS4 price is not going that low this year. Do you mean the XBO?

If you love him so much...why don't you marry him?  BAAMM!  YOU'LL NEVER RECOVER FROM THAT SHIT, YO!

I haven't been keeping up with the Amazon topics for a while. But have you guys theorized on why the XB1 Halo 5 Special Edition bundle isn't even in the top 100?


500$ for a console that normally costs 350$.

Pretty sad MS used the Halo 5 bundle to try and rip gamers off with a $150 price hike.  And it doesn't even come with Kinect or a physical copy of the game.  The most that thing should be is $449.  My guess is one of the bundles they are announcing will be a $349 Halo 5 bundle w/ a 500GB HDD.
