I'm confused as to how it can be the biggest and the second biggest of all time of all time. 

Biggest 'Weekend' in entertainment history (RDR launched on a Friday) yet second behind GTA ever because GTA launched on a Tuesday (not weekend). 

 

 

 

Incredible results. Not too surprising but incredible none the less.

Some more broken records that you didn't include:

 

  • Most pre-ordered full game ever on PlayStation Network;
  • Biggest day one full game sales ever on PlayStation Network;
  • Biggest first three days full game sales ever on PlayStation Network.

NPD is going to be interesting, I know they have the Pro bundle however people buying the Pro and X are obviously going to be more researched I guess you could say and with all the technical breakdowns against the Pro and that $100 off promo for Xbox it's going to be kind of unpredictable. 

 

The X charted on Amazon for October, the Pro did not, RDR2 bundle included. Also the Xbox standard version of RDR2 is currently in the #1 position.
