How come Zelda Wii u, Ff15, star foxand FF7-R shot up in the hourlies? Did something special get announced today?
Amazon Prime now has 20% off pre orders. I think Bestbuy's GCU is still better. You get 20% off any time and you get a $10 certificate.

How much do you guys think QB can sell by the end of the year.
I think it can do 1ml in the US and 1.25m in other parts of the world . So 2.25m by the end of the year which is betetr than Alan Wake.

The different Xbox bundles are approaching meme level at this point when the obvious one is staring them right in the face. Halo 5, 500gb standard, $349, and be done with it.

Ive been thinking this. Why doesn't MS bundle Halo 5 already.

Who knows. They announced the Name Your Game Bundle about a week ago where you can get a 500GB XB1 + 1 game of your choice of a small list for $350, for some reason that list does not include big games such as Halo 5 and Fallout 4.

They have a whole bunch of other bundles they need to sell through. It would be a really bad move to introduce an official Halo 5 bundle before they've sold through the other bundles. Better to use Halo 5 as an incentive to buy an existing bundle and only do an official Halo 5 bundle after all those others are depleted.

I think that the $400 million Halo week + hardware that without a doubt represented shipped evaluation has tied their end. Cause this PR needs to be sold through (meaning selling whatever they shipped that time) before having another Halo bundle out.

While I agree, what if these bundles are around as long as previous bundles?  If they did overstuff the chanels, the wait might be to long to wait. I think using Halo 5 as a free digital packin for bundles they desire to deplete first is the best alternative. Make the free digital copy of Halo 5 only available for the bundles they need to sell first. The Tomb Raider bundle in particular needs a lot of help.

They have done this in the past by opening existing bundles to put in a digital copy of Forza for free.

1.25 in ROW? Its not possible because 60-70% Xbone userbase in US, so you cant expect more from that 30% user base. I expect WW it will do 1.2 - 1.5 (If bundled then it can reach up to 2 million).  Also Win 10 version next year.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

It's way to optimistic. Jason tends to be too optimistic with most of his Xbox predictions. I think he wants to be that guy who gets it right once after lots of attempts, self proclaim prediction God, create JasonChartz and try to put ioi out of business.

9 hours since last update:

#23 PS4 Black Ops Standard Bundle (down 8)
#60 XB1 Gears Bundle (down 18)
#99 PS4 Star Wars Standard Bundle (down 17)

The PS4 software domination at the moment is incredible.
