Does this include the bundles as well ?
Oh my at the Halo 5 numbers, but those are still numbers other games would dream to sell at.
Other games? I didn't know halo was the only game to have those kind of numbers lol
Well.
CoD came out.
And um. Halo still sold *some* copies. But it basically vanished in a flood of the fuckton of Black Ops.
Holy hell the flood of Black Ops.
(sigh)
Just. Every other game goes away, full stop. Yes, CoD is on the table over there, just take it. Are you needing a new gaming headset? Here's the options. Etc. etc. etc. Oh, you preordered online? That line. Oh, you got the PS4 bundle? Over there. Etc. etc. etc.
Fuck November guys.
Just. Fuck November.
Halo was busy. CoD is fucking nuts. Fallout is going to be crazy. Battlefront is going to be unreasonable. Fucking unfair. The reason for that? CoD sells more damn game copies, bar none. BAR FUCKING NONE. But the CoD bundle doesn't move as much physical bundle hardware. Not as many preorders, not so many things to stack and organize.
The Star wars bundles? Those things are going to be a fucking nightmare. And then goddamn Black Friday.

Abdiel, how is Tomb Raider bundle doing?
This night had 2 insiders holy shit.
What a time to be Sales-GAF.
Sorry this time of the year is so bad for you Abdiel, I wish you all the best for these coming unreasonable weeks!
I mean, other than COD, FIFA, Madden, Assassin's Creed, etc., of course. I was talking more about smaller, non-mainstream games.

Erm...
I feel like that if Best Buy negotiated to get it as a special bundle for our stores, we got screwed. Let me put it that way.

I think Uncharted 4 will mark the point where Uncharted franchise overtake Halo franchise as the Juggernaut sales when it comes to exclusives
Sounds like a holiday rush. Good luck to all those in retail.
I'm almost afraid to ask, but does anyone know how Yo-kai Watch is doing? Even if it sells well it won't have a big first day, especially right next to COD, but I'm hoping that it somehow beats the odds and goes on to sell decently.

Ey, that's the life. I mean. It is what it is. Time flies and all that.
It's entertaining to look back at times and go "Can you fucking believe how crazy those people get to save some money?"
But, eh. Service industry/retail industry life, I guess.
If only retail is still a good number. 1.5 million x 50% digital = 750,000
1,500,000 + 750,000 = 2,250,000 is nothing to be ashamed about.
why?
uncharted will outsell halo 5 easely
They never said the 400 mill was for US only.So 1.5M Halo games sold at retail, does that equate to $96M in revenue for the game alone? (1.5M x $60) So $300M revenue from hardware (console, controllers)?? or have I got this completely wrong?
"Me not good at math?! Thats unpossible!"
I lol'ed

This is the start of your descent into madness.
Yep, missing digital and the sales from outside of US.

About Abdiel's comments on the COD bundle. Seems like it isn't selling so much hardware. Most likely because of the premium price. Wonder if Sony accounted for that? That said it's clearly pushing software.
Ab must also know preorders for the Star Wars Bundles are insane since he already suspects that day will be a nightmare.
Ab obviously don't tell us if you can't but do you know what you're store is doing for BF? Will the main attraction be a $299 PS4 and Xbox One?
Gah! Thats right, that was world wide.
Can we assume 70% of that revenue is from US? Or is there a better number to use?
The big bundle for Sony this year is the Battlefront one, that will be the hardware mover. I think they see the COD bundle as an extra.
I don't think there's any way of knowing thatGah! Thats right, that was world wide.

Have to put the collectors edition, digital, DLC, and other countries in to the mix too. I'm thinking that the Halo 5 bundle did around 300K when using the figures that MS stated. 400-450K seems beleivable for Xbox One in October.
The CoD one is a "Limited" bundle, anyways.
The $350 Battlefront one is the big-cheese this month.

Oh it is? Didn't even know that.

so Abdiel, compared to advanced warfare last year, was blops3 a flood, or a river?
Abdiel, how's the CoD bundle doing, relative... to well, every other premium bundle or last year's CoD bundle? If you don't mind.
The Uncharted bundle and the Star Wars bundles are their big ones I think.
Every Black Friday ad is the Uncharted one and they have 3 Star Wars Bundles.
