What idea? I mean, out of those only the CoD and SW bundles are getting cuts
Maybe the NDC bundle will finally move though |
The PS4 was winning before the price drop with two bundles ahead of the Halo bundle. The gap was bound to decrease as we near the release date of Halo anyway but the price drop could slow it down. It comes down to this: Can the Halo bundle outsell the PS4 (from 27th to 31st) by enough to offset the gap the PS4 will have already increased from 1st to 27th? Nearly 4 weeks versus 5 days. Who will win? It really isn't a certainty, which is why it's interesting.

It's actually 20th - 31st because all Halo bundles with the digital code will be shipped / available from the 20th. So on the 20th, if you haven't already pre-ordered it, you will be able to walk into a retailer and buy a Halo LE bundle if there are any in stock. And of course all the Halo LE pre-orders will be counted as sales for the week of the 20th, i.e. if VGC ever gets around to publishing the October charts before the end of the decade.
So Halo gets to have a 12 day effect on hardware sales in Oct. and importantly that means 3 weekend shopping days. NPD for Oct ends on the 31st right?
