Is that after costs for advertising, shipping, distrubution, packaging, devolopers. What is this mysterious 7.7 million you speak off?

That £7.7M must be before you take all that out.

Gross revenue on day 1 at a guess?



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I don't get it. If we assume it sold about 160000-170000 day 1, how could it sell 150000 in the first week?

Halo 5 retails for 40 pounds, so that works out to around 190k.

How does that compare to Halo 3?

Can't really count it that way because there's also the limited edition and the collector's edition which increase the average price but by an unknown factor.


Also have to add in people who spent money on req. Aka microtransactions

I assume that's the combined revenue from all the copies they shipped for day 1 - obviously those will sell out, but I doubt they all sold on the first day or even in the first week

That 150k is for Retail only.

Day one could be less then, it all depends how many of the more expensive Limited Editions make up the £7.7M. Day 1 also includes digital. While the 150k is retail only. Also there will be a massive drop after day 1. Day one could be 135k physical (20k digital) and then sold 15k in the following week. It's all if's and buts.



so that confirms it SHOULD have sold at least 250k fw if we include digital and the special editions and ofc retail.



Where does this 7.7m figure come from?
