Completely forgot about that one!

But i still think that September was way bigger than this month, which makes it more amazing how the Ps4 TTK Bundle sold.

Some of September big releases were Mad Max, Metal Gear Solid V, PES 16, Fifa 16 and Uncharted NDC.

I was talking about Destiny launch in 2014... the PS4 bundle topped the amazon charts for months including September.

PS4 TTK bundle sold well (the top bundle in US in September if NPD confirms that in monday) but not PS4 Destiny bundle level (300k sold from 540k PS4s).

Halo bundle for $500 dollars isn't doing too bad. What Halo should be doing though is shifting the $350 bundles. Halo week I expect those bundles to shoot up the rankings. I think nothing less than a few bundles in the top 20 launch week will be good enough and we might see it.

Its actually common for these threads to go over 1000 postd. Ever since the decline of updated site numbers we use this thread to scrath the itch along with npd and media crate.

Outside of great Japanese sales thread this is the best thread about sales right now.  Sure the numbers aren't the entire picture, but it is something you can check daily and have some aspect of what is happening in a given market.

4 hours since last update:

#16 PS4 TLOUR Bundle (down 4)*
#27 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle (down 1)*
#30 XB1 Halo Bundle (down 3)*
#31 PS4 Star Wars Bundle (down 2)
#49 PS4 Destiny Bundle (down 1)*
#51 PS4 Black Ops Bundle (down 1)
#77 XB1 Forza Bundle (down 5)*

*Affects this month

PS4 - 5 out of 6 bundles in the top 100
XB1 - 2 out of 9 bundles in the top 100

October part 1 goes to the PS4 and now we see how part 2 works out. Fun times. I do not believe that the Halo preorders will have outweighed the PS4 sales in the first half of October and has to do much better next half for the preorders to have any real effect. At this point in the month I have absolutely no doubt the PS4 has won October but of course that could all change dramatically in the next 16 days.


Halo bundle release the 20th october, right ?


The AC bundle was not limited though and they kept restocking it and it was higher om the charts a month before ut released and cheaper.

I doubt that will happen.Those bundles just don't have the value and most Halo fans obviously have the Xbox already,which is why the game is high and the consoles are lower.TLoU bundle (old) is higher than all Xbox bundles the month that Halo 5 launches.That is saying something.

 

NDC bundle is still higher too.I just don't understand how people can ignore the obvious.Halo should be having the consoles higher right now like the AC/COD bundles did last year before they launched.The Halo hype has always been pre- release,not post-release.

Halo finally ahead of NDC.


They keep going back and forth,but that does not look good for the Halo bundle.

I agree that the sales for the X1 are a bit lame even if you don't factor in that Halo is 2 weeks away. The fact that Halo is only 2 weeks away make it a lot worse. That said, the X1 sales will rise very rapidly closer to launch. How significant the rise is unknown but I'm going to say very signicant. My guess is around 400k for the PS4 and X1 for October..

That's the most popular Amazon thread (as long as I've been making them at least).
