Yoshi beat Uncharted!?

And Microsoft took the month?

And Minecraft finally dropped?

 

[Black Cac]

Bu bu but I'm not focused on sales

 

[Grand Conde]

Not a surprise, MS's flagship game came out.

 

[Lord Scion]

Same shyt happened with MCC last year when it launched at #10, too much new games during holiday season for a remaster to do well in.

As for the Xbox sales, they're

The Xbox One sold more in Titanfall month than it did during Halo 5 month.

I would like to think in the case of both consoles people are just holding out for Black Friday and beyond sales.

 

[Prince Akeem]

Expected...Hardware sales are low considering this is a Halo month and PS4 had a small price cut.

Maybe people are holding out for black friday.

 

[be back in a bit]

300k is just okay for an October with the Xbox's flagship franchise. I guess everyone that cares about Halo already owns an Xbox. Or is waiting for black friday.

NPD doesn't count bundles right?? I'm guessing a lot of UC Remaster sales were due to bundles.

Not surprised, I'm assuming Microsoft should pull out this month as well with halo and tomb raider.

Unlikely, FO4 and Battlefront are the big games this month, people will buy a Ps4 for those. TR is irrelevant.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Now world wide might be a different story, but for most of us USA brehs, if you worried about how big the Xbox One user base is for online play, no need to worry. Nice balance between Xbox One and PS4 here.

How is tomb raider irrelevant? Maybe we can argue that it won't push as many units as Microsoft would have hoped for, but calling the game irrelevant is

compared to halo, black ops 3, fallout 4, and battlefront the game aint shyt

Because (a) TR isn't a system seller and (b) its buried under a slew of other far more hyped up releases that actually are system sellers, like FO4, Battlefront, Halo and BLOPS.
