Less than 3 days for Halo, will the bundle rise again?


One could almost say...

The gears stopped spinning

 

Yeaaaaaahhhhh.

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.

I'd say close to 15 million and maybe 16 because a GAF insider said its neck to neck iwth ps3 at the same time.

I did see that, but I'm going to stick with VGC (and its NPD corrections) over what has been a most ambiguous prediction. The GAF rumor has neither been confirmed, nor accurately calculated, so it's not something that has the air of reliability. Even MS' latest quarterly reports are more in line with VGC than the GAF rumor. Regardless, 20M still seems like a reach for the system, but 3M doesn't seem at all impossible for H5 in 2015.

But 3 million is way to small. Most halo games sell more than 3 million on its first week.

PS4 - 6 bundles, 6 in the top 100

This month is still close but next month should be an easy PS4 win.

I wouldn't bet on it. Black Friday MS will hit hard. Will Sony?

so we are 2 days for halo release and still no regular bundle in the top 20? It will be hard for MS to Win this month at this rate. the LE was only like 3 days on the top and the NDC Bundle will be also 3 days on the top, it might stay on the top much longer

Looking at the bestsellers lists from other retailers, the PS4 is also ahead in Gamestop, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy.

I would imagine so. They might not offer such ridiculously good deals but enough to compensate for anything MS may take back from the Black Ops and Star Wars bundle preorders. These are also only preorders and those two bundles are going to sell even better during the month of release.
