5 hours since the last update.

#14 XB1 Halo Bundle (up 1)*
#18 PS4 TLOUR Bundle (up 4)*
#28 PS4 Nathan Drake Bundle (down 1)*
#40 PS4 Star Wars Bundle (up 5)
#50 PS4 Black Ops Bundle (down 2)
#69 XB1 Forza Bundle (up 6)*
#84 PS4 Destiny Bundle (down 8)*
#90 PS4 Star Wars Standard Bundle (up 5)
#98 XB1 Madden Bundle (re-entry)*

*Affects this month

PS4 - 6 bundles, 6 in the top 100
XB1 - 9 bundles, 3 in the top 100

 

4 spots on amazon between Halo 5 bundle and TLOU bundle for PS4. A nathan drake bundle not far behinde.

I honestly think even now, 1 day before release, Halo 5 bundle has failed to push Xbox One sales enough to win the month.

It was always going to be a bloodbath.

  6 : fallout 4 for PS4.

11 : fallout 4 for Xbox One.

73 : fallout 4 on pc.

83 :  Rise of the Tombraider Xbox One.


Yeah, most of us knew Fallout was gonna kill TR, in sales. And not just because it's coming out for more than Xbox.

They are inventing anything to discredit halo sales

They don't have to discredit anything.. the bundle hasn't done very well. Relative to time of release the SW and COD PS4 bundles have been doing much better (each individually, no need to even combine them), and barely edging the TLOU bundle on its peak days is not remotely impressive. Couple that with the next X1 bundle being so far down the last and it's even more underwhelming

But don't worry as I said in my thread it'll still win.

I'm looking at the monthly charts and the position the Halo bundle is in and I'm wondering if it also includes the preorders. Halo was no where to be seen until later in the month and yet it sits at #32 in charts, and it wasn't even winning until a few days ago. Even now it's only 3 places ahead of the TLOUR bundle. It just seems such a big jump considering how low it's been for most of this month and how many PS4 bundles have been ahead of it. We've all been speculating on how preorders would affect the final outcome but perhaps Amazon actually add those preorders in come the month of release.

False. Week 1 it was #38. Stop trying to downplay the fact that a console that is releasing this month is actually selling.

I believe he's talking about the hourly charts for this month. When October began, it was just starting to enter the top 100 and only recently began moving up significantly in the past week or so. Which is why he's questioning its relatively high placement on the monthly.

Seriously, just stop this fanboy nonsense. I'm not trying to 'downplay' anything, I'm simply trying to understand something we've been following all month and you have only found interest in since the Halo bundle took the lead.



 

The PS5 Exists.

That's right. He doesn't seem to realise that if I'm right it applies to the Destiny bundle too ... But you know, we have aggendas.

499$ bundle climbing it's way to top20 is impressive although I know nothing about tracking sales with Amazon :P and even considering "most of halo fans already own X1"... Just my two cents.



If preorders counted Star Wars would be even higher. Amazon definitely keeps them split between months.

Nah I was actually here before that happened. You were the one keeping track of the hourlies. You of all people should know that Halo was passed the 50 mark during the first week of counting October sales (October 5-11) which arent as far back as you think. What exactly made you come to this "pre-orders from past months added" theory?

That's the thing, you're not right.
