Someone just mentioned something over at Gaf that I'd forgotten and I bet quite a few people have. Not only was the MS PR a little (how would you say) misleading, but it would have included sales of the game that released a WEEK before officially launching. The PR states 'at the end of the launch week' which allows them to add the extra week in and still make it look like it's only 1 week when in actual fact it's 2 weeks.

.


The bundle released on the 20th, so they counted 2 weeks.

But ultimately not relevant since all those sales will contribute to October NPD and the important thing is that almost the whole of the Halo 5 launch week falls in the October NPD period.

That MS PR could come back to haunt them. This is from a new insider. Bish immediately asked him to check is PMs and then came back and verified him as a reliable source:

So now that software chartz are almost caught up to hardware, is there a chance we could get some VGC hardware numbers for octobre before NPD releases because that would make it EVEN more interesting.

Interestly enough, Halo 5 will be the high point for Microsoft exclusives for some time to come.
