Please forgive my touching, but I fixed it.  

Thank you. I apologize, usually I go back and fix it, but this time I was in a hurry.

The Division was pretty dang big then. Looks like it should sell better than Uncharted 4 if that's the case

Should be said that its Ubisoft's best first day in history, not just best ID!

The Division Breaks Ubisoft Records - UbiBlog - Ubisoft®

it still can beat Destiny's first week, since this is just about first day sales.

great to see it doing so well, hopefully Watch Dogs and The Divisions success can prove to other third parties that New IP's can be very profitable. and that milking your franchises isnt the way to go. (ubisoft seemed to learn that with AC).

XB1 is slipping on Amazon. Before, it would be consistently in the 20s, but as of late, it has been in the 40s and 50s.

Interesting. I had a look to see if the price had gone up for it but its still $299. Surprising that its so far behind PS4 despite being sold $50 cheaper.

Thanks for the update! I've been forgetting to do these, been so busy lately!

MS certainly isn't giving people any reasons to get an X1 recently.

I walked into Best Buy to pay off the rest of my TV.  Microsoft completely renovated their game section in the store.  Large Xbox marquees that light up.  They were on almost every rack too.  The entire isle looks like an Xbox isle, despite the fact that PS4 games are opposite to them.  I wonder how this push is gonna work.  Though all things considered, I'm surprised they're doing this push in retail stores.

People really craving new I.P this gen. Hopefully publishers have woken up and smelled the coffee.

Gotta hope for something from Sony Japan.

Though I'm already seeing a good number of new IPs that interest me.

[Rorono]

Also don't think it shows people craving new IP. You can easily make a different list that would show the opposite(low-mid sellIng new ips vs millions selling sequels) . Only thing it shows is rich publishers Investing a lot of money on shoving games down people's throats with crazy marketing budgets for their new investments, the point of which is to create another wave of endless million selling sequels
