Well halo selling 900k isn't good. I hope it made up digitally. MS needs a new big series.

The Coalition (formerly Black Tusk and Microsoft Vancouver) was working on that. Unfortunately (or not, depending on the way you look at it) they decided to let them take control of the GoW franchise.


Oh. Thats the thing i hate about companies some time. They don't want to try something new.

Maybe. Doesn't seem very smart tho, given that this PR is mostly aimed for shareholders, it's misleading. Their PR is just making things worse.


they probably felt pressured to release a PR statement or people would have thought it would have under performed. they probably knew what people would know the numbers, so they threw them off with the 400 million PR, which you are still going to see people use. and fanboys use


So you rather use a number from a random anonynous neogafer as proff?

I have the ask who is the fanboy.

if you dont want to believe the numbers, feel free to do so. though these leaks proved time and time again that they are legit. it seems you are upset about the news, and its your right to not believe them. but really, its pretty clear that they are legit.

The previous leakers, who were a lot more obscure than this George, have never been confirmed. Even when we hade a "official" leak that the mainstream media reporte in july 2014 they were never specifics.

Now, NPD_George comes out of the blue, claiming he doesn´t know much about NeoGaf AND just in time to explode one of the most prediteble and boring months for NPD reports.

He brings very specifics numbers that were never disclosed. Even the famous NeoGaf leakers with years of monthly leaks never been so pricise.

And more, this is the best story to feature the Gafers favorite narative - XOne is a piece of junk. Halo is dying. Microsoft is lying and etc...

You don't have to belioeve the 935K incl bundles claim by this alleged NDP insider but there have been muktiple sources, I understand, saying that Halo 5 physical is <1 million. However you cut it, that's not good from the single biggest Halo market in the world and it makes it very hard to see where the $400 million comes from when the lion's share of that $400 million should be coming from the USA. Perhaps if you can come up with a plausible scenario for how the $400 million happened in the face of <1 million physical copies sold in the USA instead of just calling people fanboys for thinking a source of info might be credible you might be a positive contribution to the discussion rather than just insults.

So, are you saying the Nathan Drake bundle sold more than has been reported? Think carefully before you answer.
