Well being the Nintendo Fanboy I am
I predict XCX will do over 100k first week in EU.
Basing my predictions off of amazon, GAME, micromania, mediamarkt, others.
Now fight me!

Chill, dude. It's a gut feeling. I didn't claim it to be a science I sat down and poured over. You can also thank Black Flag for Unity's sales that early.

im chill dude. i masturbated like 7 times and a half today.

you guys are total noobs. its a technique. save a half now, and ill use it later.

they need to give the franchise a 5 year rest.


also, amazon sucks with software. people thought evolve and battlefield hardline flopped. they did great. AC is going to sell millions this holiday.
exaggerating much?

AC Unity and AC Rogue sold 10 million combined by the end of 2014. thats just their first quarter. what did rogue sell. like 2 million? 3 million tops? that leaves 7 for Unity. the franchise is FAR from done.

While hardline did great for a spin off evolve bombed and thank God it did.  

Regarding assassins creed,  I hope they do it every 2 years from now on. Port rogue to next gen as the 2016 game and give assassins creed Japan or whatever is next year an extra year and release it 2017.

Honestly though they're gonna release the annual one next year and then black flag 2 in 2017. I'll play black flag but I'll have skipped all assassins creed between black flag 1 and 2.

Poll: Who Will Win October NPD?

Result:

PS4 by more than 50k - 2
PS4 by less than 50k - 4
XB1 by less than 50k - 1


Very interesting result. Only one person has faith in Halo!

New poll is on AC Syndicate 2015 sales. We will hopefully get told the result of this in Ubisoft's financials. As Banana pointed out:

AC Unity and AC Rogue sold 10 million combined by the end of 2014. thats just their first quarter. what did rogue sell. like 2 million? 3 million tops? that leaves 7 for Unity. the franchise is FAR from done.

Unity sold about 7 million in 2014. What will Syndicate sell in comparison?

Xb1 v Ps4 amazon.com October so far

#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.

[Legend]

I went for 4 million in the poll.

If ACS is good it'll have good legs, but during the holidays it'll only manage moderate AC sales.

Twice in one day? Now you're just spoiling us

I went for 4 million in the poll.

If ACS is good it'll have good legs, but during the holidays it'll only manage moderate AC sales.

4 million would be an extremely dramatic decline but I think its not unlikely. With the extreme lack of hype,  I don't think it will manage very much. 4-5 million does seem likely, I voted 5 because I'm still optimistic that it will pull through
