I don't see how those numbers are bad. 1-1.5 mil in less than a month? Sounds good to me.

Why is this in Sony discussion?

1.5 million is beyond horrible for a Halo. Halo is Microsoft's largest and most popular IP with hundreds of millions of $ being spent on it every year. If true with so low and a marketing budget like this its going to be a long time before they even break even. Past Halos have sold alot more and with smaller install bases. Maybe Halo is no longer that big and other games have surpassed it in popularity. For comparision Uncharted 3 sold 3.8 million in its first 24 hours and the last of us remastered edition sold more than a million in ist first month. Plus microsoft's game tend to be very front loaded and sell most of there lifetime sells within the first 1-2 weeks.

And for their $400 million revenue in a week PR statement they must have included all xbox hardeware not just Halo themed stuff.

3.8m is how many they shipped, not sold. I can't find an official source for FW sales, but VGC have it at 1.35m.

1.5 million for 4 days in the US isn't that bad. With 25% digital that's what almost 1.9 million. About 2 million for the whole week. +200k(including digital) for uk. And idk another 500k rest of the world that's 2.7 million fw. If those are the numbers why is that so bad. Halo 5 launched on a console In a bad situation, and to a measly 14.5 million people. My guess all along for fw was 2.7-3.1 million.

Those numbers are ww i think 

if those numbers are ww and correct, then MS must have had an absolutely massive week for hardware sales, in the realm of 500-600k.

No, US retail. The title should be updated.



If it sold 1.5 million retails in the US that could mean 2.5+ million worldwide (digital+physical) which is good considering the state of Xbox right now.



How is that number bad if its in the US only? Especially, if it helped ship a ton of hardware.



On a side note to this thread, remember the bundle was released on the 20th so includes 2 weeks of sales to go with the PR.

OP: IMO these figures are around the correct figure. Absolutely fantastic for a game, not great for Halo tbh.
