Yeah I was wrong, he said he checked 400 stores to see halo5 sales

 

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=183454457&postcount=163


over 50 stores within a 400 mile radius, none of them were sold out of the Halo bundle. 

he said 50 stores

Am I missing something? You ignoring this eveidence for the whole month across 50 stores from somebody with inside info for a few stores that you walked past?

"Around here in NY ever since halo 5s launch the stores ive walked by have either no xboxes or 1 or 2 left. PLus i saw a lot of people picking up the kinetc bundle yesterday."


Im not ignoring anything im just goign off what happened this week. PS4 can win the month no doubt. But this month was so close to call so im calling an x1 win. Im saying by 120k because like abdiel said "halo is still big" But anyways this month will indeed be interestign and os will next month since the ps4 has a huge lead

You do realise that he all the stores he check PS4 is winning? He states that the game is huge but not really shifting consoles to match. It will be close mind you, I will be shocked if there's a 120k gap either way though.

I would to. But i like ot make bold predictions.

It was already quoted earlier in this thread, but here.

Here's another one of his comments where he said that the Halo 5 bundle failed to sell out.

"Hardware? I'm still trying to check more national districts. In at least the 3 I've checked so far, ps4 > xb1. Not by immense margins, mind. But still. Leading.

But I mean. That price cut has been really nice to them."
He only checked 3 districts 


The only district that matters is district 12 and the revolution.

Edit and this week we have been seeing the x1 having mor ebundles in the top 100s.

But is that necessarily representative of what's going on for the rest of the country? Remember, Abdiel's assessments were based off of national channels.

Yeah there are tons of Xbox in MD and the Halo 5 bundle is in stock at every retailer here.I live near the biggest BB,Target and Wal-Mart in M.D. and it is in stock online and offline when I check other stores.

I believe a few pages of just memes should help the thread along in reaching this set goal.

Going off of Abdiel's assessments, that gap size is unlikely unless Best Buy's trends do not correlate with Gamestop, Walmart, and/or Target's. However, I haven't really heard of any retail-only deals other than the ones Amazon has offered, which isn't significant in the grand scheme of things because it only encompasses 5% of the total marketshare.

Well we know PS4 is dominating all those online markets, so why would we expect it to be different?

Yeah, I've been checking the bestsellers from Best Buy, Target, Gamestop, and Walmart. The PS4 has been leading the XBO most of the time. The Halo 5 launch surprisingly didn't have much of an effect on hardware rankings as I anticipated. Of course, the skeptic in me says that online rankings may not represent in-retail trends.

Personally, I still think the XBO will win, albeit by a nose
