About 630k for CoD... a bit more but less than 660k.

Xevross · Nov 09, 2015, 12:05 PM

I thought COD would do better than that tbh, I reckon it'll have excellent legs though so lets see next week.

Halo, on the other hand, has fallen significantly like I said it would. Not looking good for that game

Digital is definitely featuring a lot more nowadays

It is the first CoD to have only 2 days... all the others had 5 days.
Maybe it could do 800k or over that with 5 days.

Yeah I think next week will be better than normal

It's okay guy, polling my friends on Facebook, Halo sold another 66k digitally in the UK.

More importantly, the uk attach rate was the lowest in the whole world because soccer > fps.

Halo 5 drop seems a bit higher than normal. Do we know how other games did?

If Halo 5 opened to half the sales and has slightly worse legs, that's going to result in a pretty huge drop for the franchise.

BananaKing · Nov 09, 2015, 02:17 PM

7th best CoD? wow, thats not too good.

big drop for halo as well. doubt its legs will be that good with all the games releasing.

week1:
Halo Reach = Halo 3 + 20k
Halo 4 < Halo 3

That's all I could find. Halo 4's week 2 drop shouldn't be any different, though. However, Halo 4 debuted higher and had to face Blacks Ops 2 sooner than Halo 5 with Black Ops 3. As a result, you can't solely attribute BO3 for Halo 5's drop. In addition, Battlefront is coming up in just over a week. Compared to its predecessors, I think Halo 5 will take longer to establish its legs.

Less days tracking but more importantly digital sales. They could be as high as 20%. Yes yes, I know, not as high as the 90% digital halo ratio but it's still significant.

Yeah I think COD and Halo have shown that digital sales are becoming very significant now.

Xb1 v Ps4 amazon.com hourly rankings (top 200 only)

PS4

COD LE 1TB: 13 (+3)
SW Battlefront: 23 (-4)
Uncharted: 24 (-8)
SW Battlefront LE: 30 (+6)
Standard 500GB: 136 (+16)
Destiny TTK LE: 152 (+9)

XB1

Fifa 16 1TB: 157 (+12)
Forza 6 LE 1TB: 164 (+14)
Kinect + 3 Games: 182 (+18)

- denotes an improvement (closer to #1), + is the opposite, surprisingly!

I think certified refurbished showing up like that shows how little they sell around those ranks

Amazon November Update

#13 (+1) PlayStation 4 1TB Limited Edition Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

I'm guessing this is the update that XB1 finally showed up in the hourly charts
