He said 800k+ ww I think.

I'm just at 700-800k.
800k-1million lol  but probably closer to 800k

you guys are crazy.  sales are going to be much closer to 5-600k than 800k and you should be estatic about that.  ...600k in a non-holiday week is MASSIVE...

XBOX ONE did about 400k for the year in America before the titanfall bundle released.

Since the destiny bundle is ahead of that on Amazon, wouldn't it make sense to be around 400k?

Yeah but we can't really be sure of the whole market using only Amazon

No, but surely the ratio is close enough right?


Or how about the fact that the XBOX ONE has done 1.2 million YTD in America?

The XBOX ONE has had three major SKUs. Titanfall, standard, and Kinect free. The first two are right next to destiny on the yearly chart, while the later is not in the top 100. It's also had some other game bundles.

That once again predicts about 400k for the standard SKU and 400k for the Titanfall SKU.

Destiny is between them, so really 400k+ for US week one is extremely probable imo.

I dunno. Maybe 250-300k is what I am expecting now.

People might be importing from Amazon because I think the white bundle is much more limited in other countries.

i think the ratios are off.   amazon has a different user base than brick and mortar stores, more core less casual.  that amazon bundle was up for pre-order for months of sales that i don't think the causuals would partake in at a store.

so the amazon September chart finally updated:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-09/videogames/


#3: destiny ps4
#4: destiny Xbox One
#6: destiny ps4 hardware bundle
#7: destiny 360
#12: ps4 hardware
#21: destiny Xbox One limited edition
#24: destiny ps3
#27: destiny ps4 limited edition
#32: Xbox One hardware
#42: destiny ps4 digital download code

comparing (hardware) to last month
#4: ps4
#8: ps4 destiny bundle
#50: Xbox One madden bundle
#58: Xbox One
#89: Xbox One CoD bundle


wish we had more solid numbers but i'd say 1 Xbox One sku at #32 is better than 3 skus at #50 or worse in a lower selling month.
