Didn't post these before, because they really don't help with monthly predictions. If you just want general sales discussion fodder, though ...

God of War 3 Remaster and Rory McIlroy.
Hm, I think it will chart
According to a Best Buy employee on reddit, 12,000 Xbox One consoles was sold in first day of the deal (Xbox One + 40 inches Samsung TV). They was expecting sell 5,000 all week. Additional Xbox One inventory is expected to arrive stores tomorrow.
It seems that can be a good august for Xbox One on NPD.

I'd like to hear from our verified employee to see if this is true...

Hahaha so much hyperbole holy shit:
"it was almost too much for my eyeballs to process"
"the Coca-Cola recipe of first-person shooters, if you will."
LMAO.

Link?
I don't know how they would verify across the entire company, unless they directly went in and tallied up every single district's sales, or if they were high enough to get summary reports. We sold out of all the inventory we had in pretty much every store, but as I said in a previous post, some stores got more inventory, and some got less.
We're supposed to get in more stock as part of our weekly shipments, but it's still not a uniform number across the districts.
Good to know, thanks! I trust you more than I trust some reddit person. That'll be good numbers for the xb1
I don't think Rare Replay is a system seller.
I mean, it's had some really happy/excited folks picking it up, but I don't think I've seen anyone buying the system and mentioning that as their reason. It was a nice budget add on for some folks though.
So I agree, I don't see the Rare Replay as a system seller, but it's definitely a nice bullet point for them.
I'm always amused because the only Rare game I have fond memories of besides Goldeneye is Jet Force Gemini. My options for buying games back then were really limited by money, and I wasn't really super into the Banjo games. And by amused I just mean it's funny how disparate tastes can be. I'm happy for the Rare fans that get to enjoy their beloved games.

Still skeptical about this, but if true that's pretty good. Was already expecting a pretty good August before this deal, but this deal seems to be doing well.

I wasn't even talking about his console bias. I was just talking about him being wrong in general:

It's, once again, a fabulous discount.
I wonder how much they lose on every console in this deal.
Sadly, we don't have unlimited access to data, because I would like to know how much money the average US consumer spends on an X-box effectively.

I also saw a thread on here the other day about a PS4 + Arkham Knight + Far Cry 4 bundle with Gamestop.
That XBO + TV deal is madness. So wish I had the money right now.... :-(
I thought about changing my numbers but the hell with it...I'm going to ride or die with the first choice this time. Might have did good picking high with XBO.

They're on mobile now and there's no way they are leaving iPad behind for consoles unless some gimmick gets them back. Before it was motion control...3d tried but failed..
Maybe vr? Lol no but it'd be cool if it took off.

Nicce! I was with my friend when I heard about the deal, and told him. He didn't believe the deal was real until I showed him it, and so he immediately told one of his friends that wanted one.
Word can spread fast on these things.
Oh I know where they are now, just wondering out loud. Even if VR proves to be a good experience the price entry point is still going to be way too high for it take off.
Too few predictions for a good average number
No hate, just wondering why you think it will win the month?
