I have never done this before, but since preseason is over I figured I would give it a shot.

[3DS] 110k
[PS4] 420k
[WIU] 85k
[XB1] 460k

I think Xbox will win this month because Halo, that's what the brand is all about after all.
But it will be close.

Interesting, you could get bish verified if you want, also keep working hard for promotions along the way, we need a GameStop guy in these threads ;)

I don't mind doing getting bish verified , also those promotionals do stack, so if you have an XBOX360/PS3 you can possibly get upwards of $200 store credit

Ironically the Halo 5 bundle is the same price the Titanfall bundle was. But now there is a $150 price difference.

Back in March, the Titanfall bundle did 218k in 4 weeks, with only like 2 weeks between announcement and release.

Do you guys think the Halo 5 can accomplish this number or even higher with only 2 weeks of sales, but with about 3 months of pre orders?
 
That was so bad, your vita is forfeit.

ok dude

I'd say Halo 5 bundle could sell max 300k units (pre-orders included) because of the high price and an extra 100k for all the other bundles that were completely ignored this month (based Amazon).

Ahhhhhhh. I'm so tired.

It's only going to get worse.

Sigh. I'll add more later.

Messy. Very messy. We still have halo bundles left... Lots and lots of the game sold. It did very well. Impressive indeed. (Some shocked people left our midnight release line when they found out about no couch co-op. I was like... Come on, this isn't new news...)

Hardware? I'm still trying to check more national districts. In at least the 3 I've checked so far, ps4 > xb1. Not by immense margins, mind. But still. Leading.

But I mean. That price cut has been really nice to them.

Take rest, appreciated.

Could you please mention how Halo Bundle did? More than Destiny TTK bundle or TitanFall bundle?

Whoever wins in the US in the next few months, PS4 will still utterly demolish Xbone and WiiU in worldwide sales.


As for October NPD, my prediction is
[PS4] 512K
[XB1] 441K
[WIU] 71K

Awe hell is about to break lose if this is true for other places.
 
And this is the slot where I make terrible predictions.

[XB1] 395K
[PS4] 405K
[3DS] 120K
[WIU] 75K

I reserve the right to change this 7 or 80 more times before the deadline.
 
Target...someone from this forum or their website?

I'm thinking it was due to that deal they had. Get $50 back if you buy a PS4 at $399. But once the price drop took effect the deal was still good for an extra day. So basically you could of gotten a PS4 for $349 and still get the $50 bucks back.
 
[3DS] 100K
[PS4] 490K
[WIU] 70K
[XB1] 475K

Also, thanks Abdiel. If the PS4 keeps it close even if it doesn't win October, it's a "win" for Sony.
 
Whoever wins in the US in the next few months, PS4 will still utterly demolish Xbone and WiiU in worldwide sales.

Meanwhile in Germany: No Xbox in the Amazon October monthly top 100.
Best SKU is Elite Bundle on 102, Halo console on 132.
PS4s on 8 and 12
 
Whoever wins won't surprise me, what will surprise me is MS letting PS4 have a huge gap this year for PS4 to increase it next year until MS next holiday.

Edit: MS only has Quantum Break for the next half of the year right?
I feel like they are gonna make the same mistake they did this year.

Too early for me to even make a prediction right now with deals popping up left and right for both systems. I definitely think that this month will be close between PS4 and Xbox One. Sony made the price drop at the perfect time (Halo month).

MS has Quantum Break, Gears 4, Recore, Halo Wars 2, Cuphead, and Sea of Thieves next year.

It's just that PS4's 2016 lineup is more robust and diverse.
