Forums - Sales Discussion - NPD: Halo 5 Sold Less than 1M in October

FloatingWaffles on 12 November 2015

Did no games get bought in October or something? Halo was apparently the best selling game but if that sold under 1 million then that means everything else sold less than a million as well.

After the UK number, I'm wondering why people are surprised of this? In UK didn't it drop from like 350k to around 150k? Halo 3 Sold around 2,4 mil it's first week in U.S.A, so around 1 mil would be a similar drop to the UK numbers.


*first day*

I knew Halo declined in popularity and would not be as big as people said it would,but I thought it would have sold over 1mil first week easily as the first must have exclusive on X1 and the biggest Xbox franchise.Assassins Creed must have really bombed.

VGChartz shows it at 2.4 mil first week, while NPD has it at 3.3 mil which included 2 weeks of sales.

I could be wrong, but please provide a source to back that up.

Holy smoke... didn't expect it to do that bad. I guess this will do something like 6m LT at best.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

"In the U.S., Halo 3 sold 3.3 million copies in its first 12 days on sale and an estimated 2.5 million in its first day."

Interesting. I wonder how that fits in with 343i being a "Halo factory" going forward.

God damn! That's quite the surprise.
