There is some bets here about Xbone reaching 2m in UK after Halo 5 launch...

Well that didn't happened.


Well we don't know as MS said they won't give hardware data anymore.

Chart-track give us milestones when that happens... Xbone didn't crossed 2 million in UK yet.

Next one is 2 million for Xbone and 3 million for PS4.

I expect Xbone reach first than PS4 but a lot later than people expected.

little lower than I thought. Ms pushed digital hard tho. I've been expecting about 2 million retail 1 million digital week one.

Halo 5 is the only digital game for console I've ever seen chart in the top 50 on Amazon monthly. That has to be getting picked up by people outside the US and people who don't want a CC on their console. The code ended up at #42 for October.

Halo 5 flopped for a Halo game.

- Sold half most mainline Halos (including Halo 3 that had inferior userbase)- Sold same than Destiny Xbone launch (a new IP in the lowest selling platform for gen 8)
- Sold a little more than Titanfall with way bigger userbase
- Sold less than HALO 3: ODST


There is nothing to MS commemorate about these sales.

BTW with UK number we can estimate Global numbers...

Less than 2 million sold is expected now (my personal estimate is ~1.6m)... a big drop from ~3 million the previous entries.


Sadly, I agree with this. I expected around 250k in the UK and 2.3 million worldwide. After this news, 1.5 million is my expectation and 85% would be from US.

That is true but still, the drop is too big. The series drooped from 350k to 150 k from 360 to One. Even if digital were 30% , the total would be 214k. Which is what ODST sold!



In addition to what I said,compare Halo 5 with new IP's like Destiny and TitanFall which had digital sales as well. Id did bad compared to them. Do I need to remind people that this is HALO!

My conclusion from this is that the popularity of Xbox is rapidly decreasing in favor of PS4 and software sales this year might prove that.

I wish this is a bad dream and I'll wake up and see that it did more than 250k. I hope digital is actually bigger than what everyone think AND it will have great legs.



Tagging



Pretty underwhelming for Halo, that's a very big drop. Let's see if the same translate to US sales. I think the bundle prices don't help its cause.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Pretty disappointing start for a Halo, but with the lack of hype, it was predictable



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
