I think the game will be the best selling game this year, I think 15m+ is on-lock easily. Largest beta numbers in history, and unlike Battlefront, the impressions were overwhelmingly positive.

Only thing I'm not sure about is the pricetag. Personally I think this game would have more sucess as a $20 or $30 digital only game . 

I'm sure Call of duty will be the best selling game this year (Rock Star maybe have some surprises on the E3) but Overwatch will sell very well, and will be something we will not be able to track without Blizzard's statement, because Majority of the sales will be from PC.

I think Overwatch will outsell it quite handily, but we will wait and see. Unfortunately due to PC comprising most of Overwatch's sales, and being sold primarily through Battlenet (so SteamSpy will be off), it will be hard to even just get accurate estimations unless Blizzard releases numbers.

Nice to see UC4 doing so well,Overwatch still cannot be the first place on Amazon even on its launch day.Anyway no doubt it will be success of course.

SOFTWARE (pre-orders only)
#35 PS4 No Man's Sky (up 4)

If Sony put out an UC4 Vanilla bundle with TLOUR and the Uncharted Collection for $350 it will rocket in sales.

Xbox one at 27?? What's with the huge jump? Must be heavily discounted.

Yeah. It's that 1TB 3-game bundle that showed up in the charts out of the blue. It normally runs for $400 but it looks like Amazon is running a promo price of $356 right now. The Gears bundle, which has been the standard bundle for a while now, is currently at #54 in the hourlies.

Just checked GameStop and they're running a promo from May 22-28 where you get an additional free game of your choice when you buy any Xbox one bundle. Amazon must be matching that offer.

Fire sale surge. 1TB 3 game console + Halo Legendary Edition + extra wireless controller + Forza Horizon 2 + gift card for $369. Crazyness.

First time i see Xbox One above PS4, in this Xbox One's sales they  are giving it for free, they are nearly paying for you to purchase the console.

The New 1TB model of XB1 + 3 good games for 349$ = shoot up the amazon lists.

GoW UE + Rare Replay (30 old classics) + Ori & the blind forrest, is a pretty good starter pack.

 

First time in alooooooong time, since Xbox One had a model higher than PS4.
