Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Oct 21, 2015, 10:02 PMYes, but it's not 9. So clearly, it's inferior!

Wow, let it have its victories where it can take them!

And most importantly, the box art looks good *cough* XBO holiday bundles *cough*

Uncharted bundle overtook the Halo 5 bundle. LE Battlefront bundle really trying to break into the top 20. Black Ops bundle holding in its usual area. Regular Battlefront bundle climbing. Could make it into the top 60 soon. TLOU bundle still dropping with limited third party stock. Gears bundle back in the top 100. Taken King bundle taking its sweet time to drop out. Forza bundle still trying to hang around.

Halo 5 the game is number one, but wowza @ uncharted beating the bundle. Guess the bundle will slowly start losing steam as more casual players will opt for cheaper options.

But seriously Halo is going to be massive isn't it? Like 3 mil+ first week? Would be really cool to get a first week estimate from a certain site in a reasonable amount of time, but that isn't gonna happen...

On Amazon it's already ranked #62 for the year. Yeah it'll be massive.

3 mil first week seems like too much though. COD on XBO has a shot but Halo has weakened as a franchise. We'll get NPD numbers for first week and I'd bet 2.1 million. Depends so much on reviews though!

It's mad that a ps4 bundle is still #1. I wonder will that continue for the next week.

Battlefront pre orders will be huge. The regular bundle is moving up nicely too so between it and the special edition Sony gonna have a big lead for November before it even begins. Bo3 bundle is the icing on the cake.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but Microsoft's plan seems clear as day to me.

October is about profit. So sell the halo bundle at that rip off price and make 150-200$ profit off each one.

Now that they've taken in some serious gains they can afford to go hard in November. So we get a firesale like last year except this time the base price will be 299.

Great sales, probably beat ps4 for November although it'll be a lot less than last year.

Now If they don't majorly counter Sony in November especially if Sony win October they're going to get destroyed which will be even worse first half of next year. I think they know this so I really can't see them not going hard. They know they can't compete at equal price.

And after halo 5 comes out price is the only thing after that, that can push hardware sales. Tomb raider their last exclusive is going to do diddly squat.

We have to remember though that PS consoles tend to get the smallest holiday boosts, relatively, compared to the others. Whether that is due to poorer deals or the target audience is anyone's guess but we can't discount that factor. XBO will do great even if it doesn't get a price drop

That was because last gen the 360 was the mainstream console in the US (after the Wii had run its course) and I'm sure I don't have to explain the reason for the surge in X1 sales last holiday season, overall I don't see the PS4 getting weaker holiday boosts than the others this gen.
