Quote from: Xevross on Oct 26, 2015, 04:23 PMYeah, still looks like XB1 is topping sales for October bundles right now though. However, not enough to offset PS4's early lead I reckon

Though one would argue the reason being that the release of the CoD and Battlefront bundles are approaching. To be honest though, I wouldn't underestimate how much a bundle is selling to be in the top 10. You gotta know that some of those sales are thanks to the TLOU bundle not in stock for Amazon itself.

How much did the last few cods sell in the first 2 months?

Yes, one is inclined to agree. The star wars and cod bundles are doing a rather spiffing job aren't they. I say, November is going to be a top job from PS4 isn't it!

Oh so 17m might be undershooting it. I think around 18m then. Why can't we edit our votes?

Nothing wrong with the chertz numbers as long as you treat them as predictions.

Um I thought I set it so you can edit... one second! Edit: yep I did, just use intelligence and that ought to do it

Yep, they'll be pretty accurate as well.

I added a couple more older ones too

Quote from: Xevross on Oct 26, 2015, 04:10 PMI agree, its gonna rise nicely again. I looked at Activision-Blizzard's 2014 financial report and it said AW sales were lower than expected, mainly due to millions still playing Black Ops 2. Black Ops 1 and 2 are both still very active, if BO3 is a good game it will draw those people in too. I think it will grow a couple of million over AW

Yay! Pi might be right!

Number 10 on amazon is no mean feat. Won't be long before the battlefront halo 5 bundle passes out the Halo 5 bundle. Then the cod bundle and the standard star wars will move up.

Good times ahead.

Yeah and don't forget that BF bundle has a load of built up sales from September as well

It's up to #9 now. It must be doing some numbers to be ahead of cod black ops on ps4 and x1.

This is the perfect example of why a 10% price cut is a great decision sometimes. the snow ball effect continues.

$50 cuts are always smarter IMO. Almost as effective as $100 cuts, yet they can happen twice as often.

I wonder why the Uncharted bundle has only 27 reviews
