X did 430k units in November, a drop off is expected. I'm expecting it to do about 270k in December. 500$ is too much to keep sales high.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Battlefront II bundle has now hit #5. I guess Star Wars fever really has kicked in.

SWBF PS4 up to 12. Don't know if it has the steam to reach number 1 though. Should pass at least one Switch sku though. Is the deal on offer anywhere else yet?

#5 now, and ahead of the switch.

X did 430k? How do you know that? Npd numbers finally out?

An insider(I guess) on resetera posted that it did 430k which was 65% more than the pro did in its launch (260k). Zhuge and matt(npd analyst) confirmed. 

Edit. My prediction was 400k 

 

And on second thought I'm guessing 245k for X December sales. Then come Jan it will start doing bad until it gets a pricedrop or serious bundles.

Last year sony did almost 1.6 million in December npd with the new pro and a 249$ uncharted bundle. I think a 249$ Battlefront bundle this year is much less appealing. Especially when coming off that 199$ BF price(with 50$ gift card at GameStop).

I think about 1.2 million for December, whether or not it's enough to take the month I'm not sure.

Dec 2015 & 2016 were both 1.5+ million so i think it can this year too.

Dec 2015 & 2016 were both 1.5+ million so i think it can this year too.

At the same price as last year?

Sure, i dont think its a certainty just thats its possible.

December is typically better than Nov.
