GameStop said Halo 5 digital sales are in line with other AAA releases
Is the 40-90% dream dead?

It was always dead. When the 935K figure from October NPD includes bundles which offers Halo 5 as a digital download, it's pretty dang obvious that the rest of the digital sales won't make much of a difference.

Amazon Hourly Top 100 Update:

#8 PS4 SW (-3)
#12 PS4 COD LE (+2)
#28 XB1 Gears (+9)
#30 XB1 Fallout (+3)
#47 PS4 NDC (-9)
#70 PS4 SW LE (+27) (Out of stock until 30th Nov)

Note: XB1 3 game bundle was at #53 but fell 58 places to 111!

I thought XB1 was going to keep rising but that is an incredible fall. Wow.

Why would it keep rising? The free game promo ended. It's gonna keep falling further until the BF prices kick in

Well PS4 is managing to hold well... It had been rising for a while so I thought it would carry on slightly rising.

The Battlefront marketing evidently paying huge dividends for Sony.

I think what happened with the PS4 on Amazon is that the SW LE being out of stock moved purchasers to the standard SW and COD bundles, so they started rising again. Doesn't mean it's selling more, just less split among skus. The x1 is going back to pre promo levels

The xb1 is going back to way before pre promo levels, I haven't seen it this low in ages! Only 2 in the top 100?

Kinda.. I mean the Gears bundle was actually lower, like in the 40s or 50s. It does have less bundles now but one off them is higher (for now, it's slowly dropping).
The fact that MS announced a cut on all bundles for BF probably hurts current performance too, with people choosing to wait

What? That analyst is guessing based on MS's PR? Maybe he should read it again.
Sony should get their own industry white knights and polygon-equivalents.
