Ryng_tolu asked if SFV was under 200k, and it seems it wasnt.

Most of us already expected that with VGC's numbers though.

Really? no special edition console bundle? What a waste of marketing deal.

They have a special cardboard box, with an ordinary black console inside. Which is 1TB and $399. And currently sitting at 1,600 in the Amazon video game hourly rankings. and has failed to appear in the top 100 for the Amazon monthly rankings.

Amazon is notoriously bad as a predictor of software sales. But it's interesting to see that Amazon has the PS4 version (both standard and gold) ahead of Xb one. Gotta think at this point that the only benefit MS is seeing from this marketing deal is that things would have been worse if there had been no marketing deal.

Im curious about SFV numbers.

I want to know if it flopped or not.



@binary solo

yeah, I don't see that doing much for the console. I don't know why I was expecting a $350 special edition console. I might have confused it with the quantum break bundle.

I cant recall a 3rd party bundle for the Xbox One that have moved needles on the Amazon charts. It seems that these deals always under perform.



1. Far Cry: Primal (PS4, Xbox One)
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
3. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
4. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm (PS4, Xbox One)
5. NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
6. Lego Marvel Avengers (360, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, PS3, 3DS, Vita)
7. Street Fighter V (PS4)

As always, copies from bundles (such as the PS4 Black Ops 3 bundle and XB1 Fallout 4 bundle) are NOT included.



I don't see why people have hope for the Xbox One in March.

PS4 has MLB this month. That's going to more than counter any marketing rights for The Division. MLB has been up YOY for a while, and that alone should do it. Then again PS4 has a couple JRPG exclusives, and Heavy Rain remaster as well.

If Microsoft aggressively priced the Division Bundle, it might have been interesting.
