The best-selling HD Collection so far, God Of War: Collection, was also the first one to be released, ironically, by Sony. It has sold over 2.4 million units on PS3 alone as of May 31st, 2012. By now probably it has sold way more, I'd guess over 2.6 million units on PS3 alone. We also know that it has sold well digitally on the PS Vita, but have no idea exactly how well it has sold on that platform.So let's only consider the PS3 version. Can Halo: MCC outsell it?

We have to consider the following factors:

1. Halo: MCC is launching on a much smaller install base than GOW: Collection (+ GOW, - Halo)

2. Halo: MCC consists of 4 games while GOW: Collection consisted of just 2 games (+ Halo, - GOW)

3. Halo is a bigger franchise than GOW (+ Halo, - GOW)

4. Halo: MCC is launching for $60 while GOW: Collection launched for $40 (+ GOW, - Halo)

5. Halo games have multiplayer modes while GOW and GOW II don't have any (+ Halo, - GOW)

6. Halo CE, 2, 3 and 4 have lengthier single-player campaigns compared to GOW and GOW II (+ Halo, - GOW)

 

These points may favour Halo: MCC, but its not decided just yet.

That of a new retail game.

Now you reminded me of another point to add. Thanks!



Yeah. Only because of the Beta pack in. If they didn't, no. Old games are still old games.



I think so. Halo MCC or GTA V.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

GTA V on PS4/XB1 isn't an HD Collection. It was in HD to begin with.



It's possible. Halo is the bigger franchise and those improvements looks look really damn solid. It would surprise me if it doesn't.

but you get much more value in the Halo collection so its a plus for Halo.

Combining every SKU the GoW Collection has sold 3.29 million at retail on the PS3. I wouldn't be surprised if it were at 4m+ including digital sales.

It's definitely possible but I don't think Halo: MCC will surpass it.

Just like Halo Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4. Just saying.
