I don't think either of those did that. Wasn't NBA around 1.1?

Well the multiplayer is a big part of the series as well.
Someone on another site. From what I read here it doesn't look like halo 5 sold under 1 million.

Honestly surprised at Halo being #1. After the lukewarm reception of Halo 4 and the absolute disaster of MCC, I honestly thought it would be #4 or #5 on the list.
Good job 343! I'm really looking forward to you finishing the story of this particular arc. You definitely made me want to see how it's going to end!

NBA 2K was ~1.1m, Madden was less than that.
Seems to be across the board.
The Neogaf aggregate had PS4 at 416k and XB1 at 408k. There's still hope.
creamsugar said more than 1.1m for Batman plus 121k bundles. Mortal Kombat X sold more than 1.25m, so both are very close.
Most kids don't care for games outside of multiplatform though. Halo isn't going to really change the mind of a 13 year old whose dead set on playing COD on the system that gets the DLC a month earlier.
I mean, yeah, it's definitely possible that some look at it that way, but I can't see a majority of kids throwing any other game into the picture besides the one they are buying it for (which is Call of Duty or Battlefront)

with the price drop and bundled for sure, what happened this month that they couldn't beat XBO when they beat it for the last 10 months? and then down YoY, IF True, IIDK.

Did people really think it was beating Halo though?
I know MS has poisoned the well but didn't think it could ever be enough to topple a Halo game.
Microsoft: I would love to statham but I have no hands. =(
Yep. Exactly. Which is what many, including myself, we're trying to explain in some of the Halo PR threads only to get bombarded with "but digital though" over and over again. The Microtransactions will ensure the title is still profitable. I mean SpeedyBlueDude has already spent more than $420 on req packs alone. That's the sort of fanaticism that Halo inspires in its biggest fans and it will carry the series well despite a smaller audience.

Ok yeah that's what I thought I remembered. One of those 2 being the biggest launch. NBA was also over a million if I remember right and so was Hardline. So we actually have several games really close to each other for biggest launch. Nothing until COD really pulled away from the pack.
I'm now thinking Halo was in that range as well. Maybe 1.1 or 1.2
Seems like a pretty soft year so far then for huge releases.
I could see Battlefront 3 taking #2 next month, with Fallout 4 in #3, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was the other way around.

My guess!
If COD and Star Wars bundles were included in October this is how it would look.
UNC 200,000 consoles sold
COD 500,000 consoles sold
SW 450,000 consoles sold
Total: 1,150,000

How much did AW Xb1 bundle do last year? 200k?
Even with Black Ops brand, I don't see the CoD bundle doing more than 50k more than last year's equivalent.

I'm over that stuff. After following TimDog for a while, I realized how sad Corporate flag waving looks sometimes. Kind of made me grow out of benign so extreme with my likings. ;P
no I'm not here

I mean it will be 2 - 3x the size. Easily. PC version alone on Steam is at 1.5 million without even a full week yet. Where do you think the console version are?
Uncharted bundle will be at $299 on BF. Battlefront has 2 bundles for $349 and $399.

One of the tamest npd threads that I've ever seen.
Let's think rationally for a sec though, shall we?
If our current estimates are right, the PS4 is -down- YoY, in spite of being both $50 cheapper -and- bundled with the UC trilogy. The only logical explanation frankly (when considered that the XB1 really didn't do so hot with a mainline Halo release @ 304k) is that given that the price drop extended to very hot November LE bundles, many potential buyers possibly decided to delay their purchase.
If that is correct, and the XB1 and PS4 are as close as Queso hinted, it's the reason why (along with August Halo5 bundle pre orders) we have an XB1 lead.
Bummer that we'll have to wait mid December to confirm if that is true though.
Now... We need Creamsugar numbers.

How are we supposed to know?
It's legitimately hard to tell what kind of impact certain sales influencers would have.
If you told me last March a ...$450 Destiny bundle would be a bigger sales driver for PS4 than a $50 price drop, I wouldn't had agreed with that analysis.
Obliterator

Exactly. Its entirely possible the Uncharted bundle is the number 1 selling SKU in November instead of the Battlefront bundle. Its the one on sale
The BF bundle is going to be massive so yeah its will be cool to watch.

Not for SW .
Destiny was 300k if i remember righting , SW should be more than that counting BF .
Was thinking the same.

Lol, hell yeah. Feel like I'm in the twilight zone. Only thing I can think would be people holding out for battlefront and/or Black Friday bundles. But that goes both ways, I do know that halo was enough to push me to get the xb1 because Black Friday, plus I pulled some wizardry at wal-mart on the price.

I thought it would see a HW increase, but PS4 winning every month plus with a $50 pricedrop, plus UC, I said I expect PS4 to take the month by under 50k, and MS would win Nov. by atleast 200k.

Good to hear. There's nothing wrong with having preferences, but as you've figured out it can be taken to extremes by some people.
That's what many of us are currently figuring, yeah.
Obliterator
Member
Maybe yeah, if it gets good word of mouth could be true. 400k is possible I guess, but a lot of people buying in November are going to wait 1 more week and get the UC bundle for $299
Don't get me wrong though the BF bundle will be huge. Should be able to at least match that 300k number

That's was a joke I made that apparently everyone ignored the post beneath it saying I was joking. I have yet to spend any real life money on Halo 5. Probably never will, Counter-Strike already devours most of my gaming money.
