People didn't have a choice. The bundles came with a digital copy of the game.

OP updated with everything we know!

This is NBA's second month, it already sold 1.1 million in September.

So halo 5 really did sell less than 1 million physical copies, but probably over a million with digital then? Still, even with an improbably huge digital ratio that would amount to a considerable drop for the franchise.

All bundle copies are digital. My Halo MCC was digital too. But people have been buying more games digital. Note that i'm not talking about 100% of retail copies please.

But 20%+ seems likely. Everything over 40% would be hyperunrealistic though.

If Halo 5 sales continue to drive xb1 system sales it will look similar for November... it's close enough that it could have gone either way honestly.

I think the price cut did great for the PS4.  The only problem?  Most of those people preordered the COD and SW bundles.  I know I would with it only being a month away from launch.  Have to wait til Nov to test that theory, though.

Yikes, Halo did really bad. I had a feeling it would sell much less than previous games, but didn't think it would be this low. Will it even sell 6m lifetime?

Well he said "You can refer to the following Excel bar graph I produced for the Neo GAF"

According to IGN: "The Wii U console also saw an increase in sales of 40% over last October. According to Nintendo, sales "have increased more than 20 percent in the first 10 months of 2015," compared to the same time period last year.

This jump in sales is no doubt being driven by Super Mario Maker bundles. In fact, according to the NPD Group, if software had been ranked on a SKU-basis, "NWU Super Mario Maker would rank in the top 10" in software numbers for the month.

And in this graph it's down YoY, so Idk

That's weird because Nintendo reported in their financial report that the Wii U is down YoY in the US. Maybe they confused software and hardware, Wii U software is better than last year.
