Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 21, 2016, 10:06 PMI wonder if Microsoft is questioning their purchase of the Gears franchise.  

Serves Square Enix right

How come the Xbox sold more than the PS4 last year?
You mean last October? Halo 5 and the LE bundle. The bundle sold just enough that the XB1 outsold the PS4 by about 30K.

Yeah I couldn't remember if Halo released then,

Quote from: DerNebel on Nov 21, 2016, 07:11 PMSo even if we assume a 25% digital attach rate we're still not looking at over 700k first month for Gears 4, which is still less than half of what Gears 2 sold in its first month (1.56 million) to a lower installbase in 2008, great job MS.

Also Tomb Raider... what can you say to that? They really made a dumb decision with that timed exclusivity, I don't know why some people thought this was going to make a huge splash on PS4.
The copy of Gears 4 offered in the LE bundle is actually a digital download code. Same thing applied to the Halo LE bundle last year. So if we assume that the physical to digital ratio is 75%/25%, then total US sales should be 553K. If we are more generous with the ratio, let's say 70% physical/30% digital, then total US sales would be 592K.

It's weird to think that Gears 4 barely outsold No Man's Sky's first month sales and we all know how that game went...
