Quite surprised that the Destiny bundle didn't drop. Might take a little longer than I thought for the Halo 5 bundle to pass it.

[Dr. Pezus]

If Syndicate doesn't work out I think Assassin's Creed is pretty much finished. I'm sure they'll do one or two more to finish the overall story but they'll probably move on to a different annual franchise. Looks like Far Cry may be that game already.

The movie is coming way too late. Franchise will be on its way out

Far Cry?

The problem is we don't know how up-to-date the monthly charts are, but yes, it is still quite surprising. Also, how's the availability of the bundle in other retailers? If it is still readily available or available for a longer period than on Amazon, then the bundle may be doing better than what the monthly charts suggest.

Oh I know. Trust me. I told Xev the same thing earlier about the monthly sales. I just expected it to drop faster based on the fact that it fell in the hourly a while ago.

Looking at comg the ps4 seems to have the best line up this holiday.  

The 3DS wins total software by default thanks to monster hunter X but in terms of a diverse line up of medium selling titles PS4 is looking good.  

Battlefront,  black ops 3 and fallout 4 all charting very well and then you've games like syndicate and God eater ps4 doing good, especially the latter.  

Media create on Wednesday is very important because if it's new baseline is 25k then it will do great for the next few months.  

It doesn't have long to hold beforeGod eater then bo3 boosts it,  then battlefront soon after fallout 4. Holiday sales could actually be great with almost western only titles.  

Then the onslaught of Japanese games first half of 2016 before at least 1 megaton holiday 2016. Couple that with the ever growing western support and ps4 Japan is looking very healthy.

#21 PS4 TLOU (-2)
#28 PS4 TTK LE (+2)
#30 PS4 Battlefront LE (0)
#33 XB1 Halo 1TB Super special edition (-3)
#39 PS4 Uncharted Collection (-1)
#61 PS4 COD 1TB LE (0)

Bolded counts towards October NPD

TLOU bundle close to breaking into the top 20. Went up two ranks since yesterday. TTK bundle still slowly dropping. Another two ranks. LE Battlefront bundle holds. Halo 5 bundle up three more ranks. I'm guessing it'll overtake TTK bundle within the next two days. Three days tops. Uncharted bundle moved up another rank after its impressive jump yesterday. CoD bundle holds. If Amazon is an indication, I'm going to guess that the Halo 5 bundle will ultimately be the highest selling bundle but the combined sales of TLOU and Uncharted bundles will be greater overall.

There is no way TTK bundle will hold the position... Amazon won't make my order for it (or Sony won't sell it more).
I'm sure Sony decided to put more TTK bundle in US it could be at sub-20 for Oct now.
It is the more interesting bundle for gamers because it is White.

Four For FIFA

19/Oct/2015

'FIFA 16' (-40%) takes a 4th straight week at No1 leading an unchanged Top 4 for the second week.

'Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection' (-50%) sees sales drop 50% but still holds No2 ahead of Activision's 'Destiny: The Taken King' (-22%). 'Lego Dimensions' (-17%) remains at No4 ahead of a resurgent 'Grand Theft Auto V' (+4%), which climbs the chart for the third week up to No5. 'Forza Motorsport 6' (-16%) is pushed down a place to No6 just ahead of 'Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain' (+15%) at No7, which benefits from price promotions.

Several new releases make their debuts this week although Bandai Namco's 'Tales of Zestiria' is the only one to make it into this weeks' Top 10 at No8. 'WRC 5' races into the chart at No12 placing the 4th best launch in the series in terms of week 1 sales. There's no shortage of titles for RPG fans as Square Enix release 'Dragon Quest Heroes' (The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below) at No19. There's also room for 'Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance' by NIS America, which lands at No27 giving fans of the genre three titles to choose from. Finally Koch Media bring 'Wasteland 2: Director's Cut' to Xbox One and PS4. The title includes a host of improvements and remastered visuals and rounds off this week's new releases at No36

Tales and Dragon Quest did better than I expected in UK.
Destiny hold is strong too.

Just for reference Destiny did about 8.5k this week.
