Forums - Sales Discussion - “Halo 4” Makes Entertainment History with More Than $220 Million in Global Sales in the First 24 Hours

VGKing on 12 November 2012

Am I the only one who noticed how poorly written this article is?

The title mentions $220million in Global sales within 24 hours for Halo 4, but then goes on to compare it to this years movies, but then mentions Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2 which came out in 2011. Then they go on to compare it to The Avengers but only count US sales figures? WTF?

This is a completely unfair comparison.
If you're going to use Halo 4 global sales, compare it to global sales for the movies. But I guess MS can't do that because then they would have nothing to brag about.

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

Modern Warfare 3 did 5.3mil on PS3 alone. Black Ops 2 is breaking pre-order records, it will beat it.

Why are you so upset at how well Halo 4 is doing.  Seriously youve been going into every Halo thread and trying to spin and bash it.

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

And wow, 4 million players in“Halo 4” Makes Entertainment History... 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...

Bull***t.
Where are you getting these ridiculous numbers from? IF 60 million have a console in Mexico, and 73% have a 360 that would make it 43,800,000 sales of XBox 360 in Mexico alone.

Will Blops 2 beat it? Off course, EMEA and Japan love it more.

Is seeing a select minority of peeps trying to downplay the success of one of the biggest game I.P's funny as shit? Hell yeah, much needed amusent in life.

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


Didn't Microsoft say it was the most expensive? Or what there some effin PR spin on that as well?

Huge. Well deserved.

Curious to see the ratio between US/non-US sales this time around.

im pretty sure they did i dont know what the other guy was talking about but he´s wrong.

Maybe he´s talking about the price of the game idk?
