er... 5m would be amazing though. You think 5m for some remakes isnt amazing? it would actually be a miracle given the likely install base of the next 6 months.

I'm not saying 5M isn't good. I'm saying it won't do the 10M some are expecting it to, just because there is Halo in the name.

Wait what people were expecting it to do 10M anyway? Did anyone actually say that? And heck you are saying 5M like it is low heck that would be AMAZING for a remaster/remake. Like totally unheard of. I give it around 2.5 mil mysself which is VERY good.

OT:

THis Op doesn't seem serious. Seems like click bait or the OP is just making a joke lol.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

It will sell good enough for a port. But it will not do the amazing numbers some expect. 5 million is the max, and that´s in the BEST situation.

LOL.

Five million would be pretty damn amazing. And higher than I have seen anyone expect. What are these "amazing" numbers "some" expect?

I believe you are making out things here and to me it sounds like you are trying to just ruin the fun for some fans who have good (right) expectations for this game, meaning that it will sell very well and if it reach 5M (lifetime), it will be way higher than any expectations.

Halo : CE Ani. did very well for a remake and sold for 2M... Why would anyone expect MMC to sell for 10M?
Anyway, we both know the game will do very well :)
OP: I think you need to refine your definition of a flop...

Has a Halo game ever actually 'flopped'? I don't expect the collection to move a shitload of hardware, but I do expect the Halo faithful to gobble it right up (there are allot of folks who are excited for it).

Preorder numbers (whether accurate or not) are quickly becoming irrelevant. Every X1 owner I know has bought every large release this year digitally, will be doing the same with this title and many (probably any) title moving forward.

Sad is the day when Amazon is trusted more for preorders than VGChartz.

Well, these are some odd days on Vgchartz.  Amazon just updates their stats more, of late.

Indeed. I suppose it's just the consequences of trying to adjust to track a new gen, something VGChartz hasn't really been around long enough to get good at. Either that or preorders in general are becoming less common, because I'm finding it just as unlikely that MCC has only 73k preorders as SSB4 having only 43k (less than Bayo2 even).
