We don't know how well Battlefront sold yet! Might have been a mega flop!

I think EA is busy studying Microsoft's PR playbook before saying anything

I was thinking it might manage more than 1.5m this November, then September and October happened. I vastly overestimated it in both months. I think 1.5m max.... so if it does go higher I'll be very happy

Well last year it had a massive September that effectively took from its holiday sales.  This year it's been more modest with Playstation blowing it's load in November meaning it's likely to be much stronger this year.

Sony have to be very happy with ps4 Japan sales.  Yes 1m YTD and 2m Ltd are milestones but the most promising thing is the 27k baseline.  

Last year this week it was 12k lower.  And next week battlefront will either keep the ship steady or push it back above 30k. Hopefully the later.  

And the good news heading into the holidays.  It has a few smaller titles before Fallout 4 hits and that will be big.

I agree but last November was only 840k, so much better could be 1.2m .... We shall see!

 So. Midnight release wasn't as busy for us as it was in other areas of the country - Then again, for New England, it was 40 degrees F last night. When we opened the doors last night to let the people in, my coworker said, and I quote, "Poor bastards" to the 30 or so folks shivering in line there at our store. However, when I drove home, the local gamestop had 40 or so people still waiting to pick up their copies outside, so they must have been pretty swamped. Perspective, eh?

 Well, anyway. We've got fudgy pallets of these bundles. Holy hell. And as Mister Megative stated (and I mentioned to him in a PM preceding that), every single one of the limited edition ones we've received were spoken for. And that's not a tiny number, either. They didn't give us some really tiny number of those bundles. Lots of these things picked up today, and lots of the regular bundle picked up today too.

 And plenty of the game in general. Star Wars fever is definitely picking up. It's not doing CoD numbers... Maybe I should put it this way. The midnight release for CoD way out performed, and you have the CoD preorders are people talking about specific features and modes, or K/d ratios... The range of people we saw picking up Battlefront is enormous. It's just all over the place. Lots of middle aged dads gleeful as hell to get some star wars in, and the splitscreen for doing stuff with their kids in the game modes that way was apparently a great thing.

 So a very, very solid day. I checked a few districts before I left for the night, and it mirrors across the country, solid, solid performance so far. And Sony really is batting 1000 with the advertisement sets for this bundle stuff. It's concentrated nostalgia.

 And I know I talked a lot of Sony stuff here - This game did well on the XB1 as well, and one of the people in line for the midnight release was a PC copy grandfather in a Deadpool shirt. He was a riot.

 Also updates on other titles: Fallout still doing well, CoD still doing well. Tomb Raider and Halo not so much. I saw Queso's comment about the top 10 for this month, and his speculation on boosted numbers based on the sales seems to be really dead on. We'll have to see how those influence things. Get your GCU ready lads and ladies. It's already better than employee pricing for games *before* sales.

 I'm going to go back to Lost Song now (whoever called it, yes, I did get it today via the digital bundle with Hollow Fragment awhile ago, but I snagged my copy of Battlefront last night before I went home)

what was the quote about only caring about Q3 sales from an MS employee?
