Half the games in the top 10 were released before October. Halo had to beat Ass Creed and a wrestling game, beating Ass Creed may be considered good?

Sony's PR was basically nothing and Nintendo talked about Amiibo and software sales.

Some months there are titles that sell in the 7 digits in one month.
Other months there aren't.

Well it dropped 79% in its 2nd week in the UK and if sales are following a similar trajectory in the US of both being hugely down and also dropping a big time second week, it will likely not hold up well against them at all
Its under 1 fucking million?!
OH MY GOD its worse than even what I imagined as the worst case scenario
HOLY FUCK

So Bgamer was right about people forgetting to consider the bundle pre-orders from previous months that were counted this month.
305K (if true) is not a good number at all during a "non-preseason" month with the biggest exclusive launch of the gen. Less than 305K is also not a good number at all for PS4 during a price cut month. Really curious what the gap is.

Goodness gracious, great balls of ire.

Oh ok. So since they first started taking preorders?
i don't know much about this npd stuff
I mean, yeah, i would say so. Especially when one is only released on the 2nd place console.
Under 1 million? WHAT THE FUCK?!

Will this be the month we all remember as the turning of the tide for Xbox?
What. WHAT

Yea, this was my only take away. Why were sales so unimpressive in what should have been a really huge month for both?
This can't be true. There's gotta be some caveat somewhere.

This month is absolutely awful when it comes to not knowing when someone is fucking around.
Halo 5 can't be below 1 million. Where the fuck did all the sales go?

Well with BF deals right this month, I wouldn't be surprised if people have finally learned patience and are just waiting to buy consoles and games this month where they get much better deals.

The way sales are being alluded to I'm curious if Halo 5 even beat SSB4 on WiiU.

I mean thats a TERRIBLE opening for a Halo game. There is no way around it, its awful.
Now in comparison to other franchises no, but for Halo? Holy shit this franchise used to launch to over 3 million
Grats to MS. I thought PS might edge a small win because of the price drop, but the lack of Sony PR makes me wonder if it wasn't even that close.
Halo 5 bundles doing work, probably subsidizes the insane November deals.
Personally loving Halo 5 so a well deserved #1 spot.
Can't wait to see next month, should be interesting.

Did MS ever confirm the 550 million being sell through?
If MS shipped a shit load of Halo, that's more than enough at the risk of channel stuffing.
well there it is folks less than a million is downright horrible and i doubt anyone can spin that but then again MS did it already!

What 3 and what Walmart bundle exclusive to them?
Also why didn't the US get the 1GB Star Wars LE console like UK?

The cat is being manipulated by fishing wire. Not sure if you're outraged or confused by my original post.

60% or more decline game over game.
Holy shit. Wow. Unreal
Less days of sales I know but a 60% decline is being nice as it would actually be over 66% decline. Using the days difference we are looking at close to 60% aligned likely if its sub 1 mil

Star Wars bundles Walmart has an exclusive one.
lol if we take the maximum 300k bundles as halo bundles then it still leaves it in the terrible sales level

Halo under 1 million in USA.
I guess only 5 days of tracking I suppose.
But still, Halo 5 is not the same system seller. The brand seems to have really gone down. Still popular though.
But yeah, doesn't seem like Halo is the "trump card" it once was.

Halo 5 under 1 million with the bundles included? That's can't be right...?

So what you're saying is that Halo 5 sold over 10 million, right? That's 8 digits instead of 7!
Oh dear god, that doesn't sound good...
