^That's a lot of bundles

sure, that's also a lot of different games and there are even bundles of only games  without console (only someone who really want halo buys a halo game bundle right?) and bundles vgchartz didn't count, that's very funny^^

There's a diffrence between GT $ uncharted, They all are massive franchises they SELL!! millions first week and they get bundled when the make a profit like Halo, but forza flops everytime the only thing saving it is the BUNDLES.

Forza sells at least a couple million before bundles kick in......many PS3 exclusives would kill for that. But dont talk Forza, I only casually mentioned it, lets not sideline this thread.

Try not to turn this thread into another Forza, Uncharted and GT bundle argument. Please.

People, please stop whining about bundles and pricedrops.
I complained before when XBox gamers tried to downplay the success of several ps3 / vita titles and i don't want the same whining about XBox games.

Bundles and discounted sales are sales nevertheless.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

Nintendo does the same thing with Mario. If Mario wasnt bundled with Nintendo consoles it probably wouldn't have turned into the hit that it is today.

My 2 million sales b4 bundles is correct with the mainline Forzas. I heard Horizon has some retail bundles in UK, but none are official MS santioned. Just retailers doing their own custom thing.

Buit I allready told you, don't sideline this thread. This is coming from me.

Yeah but Nintendo fans don't brag about it and compare it to other consoles exclusives

Bundles account for a minority of each Halos sales. Most of these were limited in production, only the Reach bundle was mass made during the 2011 holidays and even that only added 1 million digital sales, which vgchartz doesnt count.


I just proved using HCEA bundles are a majority.  Sorry but you got no evidence to prove otherwise.

you got the evidence if you just look at first week sales of as example halo 4 and the whole console sales of xbox in that release week compared to the weeks before.  pretty simple, even someone who is 10 years old should be able to see that.

You listed quantity in bundles, but you on the other hand have 0 evidence to support their scope and availability, but most of them were limited BTW.

Nice propaganda.

HCEA is a bad example to use against the other Halos. Horrible logic. Its a 10 year old remake.


Sorry but you're not using real evidence and just unprovable claims.  I have used real evidence with sales numbers.

Can you show me a Halo game that sold 6-12m without bundles?

You haven't proven the Halo bundles length of availability, manufacturing scope, and territorial availability. Prove that the bundles were ALL global and mass produced and I will say your thread has some kind of relevance.....which isn't gonna happen.

I am using common sense.....using a 10 year old remake against a full release (with major marketing) like Halo 3, Reach, or especially 4......is one of the most idiotic anti-Halo arguments I have ever heard.
