An install base of 20M by the end of the year seems like a bit of a reach. That's 6M+ sold from Sept-Dec, or ~1.5M+/month. Currently, 150K/wk or 600K/month is a high number (~290K in US last month). I have my doubts that sales will be 200% higher for each of those 4 months. That being said, I would not be shocked if it's around 17-18M (probably the low end) and that 3M copies of H5 are sold. From forum activity and sales figures, there is definitely traction with X1 users, and an 18% adoption rate seems very, very possible.

In refering to halo 5 sales to be at 6 million. Also i think x1 is around 16 million right now.

It was under 14M at the end of the 8th month (August) and sold about ~290K in the US (its strongest territory) in the 9th month (September), which means total sales were probably much closer to 14.3M, heading into October. To be at 16M now, it would have to have sold around 1.7M units in the first 3 weeks of October, which is...really, really, really high. That also means that that at 1M/month (crazy high sales for X1), it would only reach 17.3M by the end of the year. Destiny has only sold 11M copies, across 4 platforms. Halo 5 will do extremely well, but don't set the bar so high lol.

Why is Nathan Drake bundle still ahead of halo5? That wasnt supposed to happend was it?

I'm guessing $349 vs $500 is one reason. 

The X1 $350 bundles should be doing better though. Having said that, I still believe we will 2 X1 bundles in the top 20 before the Halo 5 launch.

But there has been only Gears bundle for a while now and it's been sold by third parties for quite a while now and it's constantly out of stock. Well it's seems there's that the LEGO movie bundle too but I don't think it'll sell much. Rest is 399$ but yeah those should be doing better too if there's a bundle selling for 499$..

I expect people are less inclined to trust on time delivery the closer we get to launch, so it is probably about right that it has started to drop on Amazon. I would think at retail stores there should be a flurry of H5 bundles sold over the weekend.
