Week 2 rankings are up and H5 LE Xb one is the top sku at 19 TLOUR is at 26 and NDC at 30. I assume that will be final rankings for the week, which means Xb one should take that week pretty easily.

Hopefully we'll get a Monthly update today then.

Yes, doesn't look like monthly has updated yet, but I expect it will soon.

Interesting to see Microsoft throwing in an additional game of the customer's choice, I highly doubt that they'd do that unless they have some intel that they are losing the month.

I've been on the fence throughout and I'd call it on the 27th. It's about time I put my money where my mouth is:

PS4 wins by 25k - 35k

Been here all month as well,and i agree. PS4 wins,by a margin.

Can it theoretically be that Halo+Gears+Forza bundles=Nathan Drake bundle?

Thoeretically, yes, but in practice it's never worked like that.

Mathmatically, The sales of the Gears and Forza bundle would have to be greater than the difference of the 22nd best selling item and the 10th  best selling item.  Also, if ever ranked item sells at least 1 more unit than the item that comes right after it, then the folowing must be true about the current hourlies:

PS4 NDC is selling at least 12 more units than the Halo 5 bundle

PS4 NDC is selling at least 51 more units than the Gears bundle

PS4 NCD is selling at least 67 more units than the Forza bundle

So if the forza bundle is selling 10 units, then Gears is selling 26 units,  Halo 5 is selling 65 units and  Uncharted is selling 77 units.

So the answer to your question is yes it is possible with a situation like the one described above .  Unfotunately, we don't know what the actuall seperation is for each ranked item.  In the monthlies however, it is still mathmatically impossible for Xbox One to win at this point using this method.

Seems that Nathan Drake will remplace The Last Of Us Remastered bundle.
