The last one has to be the Fallout one. The only one worthy of a special announcement with the TR one. The rest are just here for the "1 day -  1 bundle" PR.

It's the 1st October. Is anyone making another thread?

#15 PS4 Destiny Bundle
#23 PS4 TLOUR Bundle
#80 PS4 Black Ops Bundle
#89 PS4 Fool's Edition
#90 PS4 Star Wars Bundle
#94 XB1 Madden Bundle

There are 6 PS4 Bundles and 5 are in the top 100
There are 8 XB1 Bundles and 1 is in the top 100.

Wow. 19 days to go and the halo 5 bundle is nowhere to be seen. 

You'd think with it releasing soon, the charts would be full of Xbox listings in anticipation of the game but there's not. 

If this continues, PS4 has October in the bag easily. 


There are no Xbox One bundles in the top 100.  However, The Halo 5 bundle is at 116 and rising rapidly.

Ps4 clear victor for us. Distinct gap in sales, the Destiny bundle did better than I was expecting, though that being said, it was not last year's bundle in terms of scale.

Xb1 recovered from the drop off after the tv deal, but people still all about that kind of thing. Way more "hagglers" sigh.

Taken king sold okay, but almost all the people I heard talking about it were doing the direct upgrade or I think buying the voucher card? Hard to tell exactly.

Hopefully someone asks him about the Cod and Battlefront bundles.

We didn't need verification but it's aways welcome! I'm really looking forward to this month now because no matter how I view MSs latest moves, I cannot in any way find a justification for such a poor showing. What makes this whole thing even more strange is the fact MS announced these bundles as if they were going to be something special. All they have now is the Fallout 4 bundle (inevitable) and a potential price drop. Halo is going to sell very well but will it be enough if Sony take Amazon for all of October until Halo releases?



 

The PS5 Exists.

Includes: 500GB hard drive Xbox One Console, full-game digital downloads of Dance Central Spotlight, Kinect Sports Rivals, and Zoo Tycoon.

 

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME MICROSOFT?!?!?!?!?!

 

500$ FOR THIS BUNDLE?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!


Wow never thought I'd see a $500 Xbox again. 

These bundle choices are just odd. Tomb raider made sense, and maybe the second one too but the lego and this one are just horrible. 

Surely they can think of better bundles than this. If not, ps4 has nothing to worry about this Christmas.

And what percentage of the X1 sales were made up of TimDog sales? I hear he builds forts out of them in his house and slips them into the windows of strangers cars.

It really should be reported by NPD. Really!

Wait...Xbox, the brand in a perpetual pissing contest with Sony over who can have the more spectacular explosions, set pieces, and "serious" games is going after the family market? The brand with not a single family oriented franchise I can think of outside of a handful of Kinect games and maybe Project Spark? Oh and Viva Piñata. I mean...wow. That's the most desperate bundle I have *ever* seen. Who the heck is going to buy this? If you want something family oriented in a bundle, why not buy the new MK8 Wii U bundle? Why not buy a PS4 and get Tearaway and Little Big Planet; not much but it's something. That bundle is just a waste of shelf space and I doubt retailers will even put the thing on display; they'll just shove it in the back. And what's with the low effort box art? Nintendo knows the importance of box art. Sony knows the importance of box art. EVEN INDIE COMPANIES know the importance of box art. Just...wow. This is almost sad to watch.


Look the ms making the iPod box

  6. TBA tomorrow October 2nd.

If it's not the best one yet then it will be one huge fail of a holiday bundles announcement. There is really nothing exciting there other than the RoTR bundle, and the price of that is a bit of a downer, and that it is very strangely a retailer exclusive bundle. Why, why would you put your 2nd biggest exclusive (for 2015) game into a bundle that will only be available at 2 retailers?
