How does this compare to the amount of money COD makes?

And wow, 4 million players in the first 5 days?! That means it will probably be slightly over 4 million for it's first week. Higher than my original estimate.

Hmm don't be surprised if you don't see 4 million sales first week.  More than one player can play on one copy on one Xbox 360 remember.  


This apply the same way around, a lot of players don't have their profiles connected to xbox live. Just for humor you, in Mexico 60 million of people have a console (73% has a 360) yet only 40 million have access to internet...

You can say a lot of countries can be similar, hell, one of my friends lives in the States, and he has a 360 and Internet, but yet he doesn't have his console connected...

Might even be 100k-150k low with my 4.1M prediction, quite stellar that they managed this revenue without a "Legendary version".



The proof Halo 4 has sold the most copies week 1 is right in the revenue.

Least expensive Halo on 360. Highest income in franchise history. 4 million at least week 1 is now 100% certain

It is just that in the past we had some issues,   people should not be surpirsed that we get first week sales of 3,5 million and then complain in threads that Vgchartz numbers are wrong :).



 

Even today with Black Ops 2 coming out Halo 4 numbers are insane.

Right now only on Mp modes there are 314k people playing it!

Black Ops 2 will be huge its almost coming out i cant wait for the numbers, if everything goes right we can see a 8m Week 1 on 360 and a new breaking record of concurrent users on Xbox Live with Black Ops 2 and Halo 4 doing freaking damage!

Finally the PR... seems better than Halo 3... AMAZING.

Seriously dude, take a pill. 73% of 60 million people is 44 million.



Damn! What a beast!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

About 4.2m first week then I think. Will be interesting to see if blops2 ps3 can beat it

Ps3 players have been all year without exclusives and only some major multi games, most better on 360.

Ofc it will beat Halo 4, easilly.

Black Ops 2 Ps3:

EU: 2.2m

US: 2.7m

WW: 6.2m



For comparison the numbers I have...

Halo 3 - $170m (US Only)
Reach - $200m (WW)
Halo 4 - $220m (WW)

MW2 - $310m (US & UK)
