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

FloatingWaffles said:
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.


Think about it: <1M could be 999K, which is LTD sales for most games, let alone monthly sales. Sure, it's disapppointing for Halo, but those other games are happy as pigs in shit, if they closed in on 1M in October.

Wow that sucks "if" true. Is this confirmed?

Two reliable NPD insiders on GAF (where people get megabanned if they aren't legit) have all but confirmed outright that H5 is less than 1M for October.



really bad numbers.. i predict that the halo 6 will be focused on master chief and will have better sales, marketing around locke ( a character who has no charisma at all. ) quite hurt sales of the game , know many people who did not buy the game for that reason ( locke ).

For some reason.

I expected a gif...record feelings as "hurt."



I think I'll wait a bit to see if its true, despite Neogafs rep, this is shockingly low... I mean I expected it to under perform but this would be well beyond the low expectations I had. I thought that 1.5m being thrown around earlyer sounded possible which would have still been low for a Halo game.lol

Halo has the severe misfortune of releasing on Treyarch CoD years. They should really stop doing that, or make Halo a mid year release.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

This is actually good though.Now maybe MS will finally focus on other franchises and bring back games like Conker and project Gotham for those that have been asking.They will need to put some of that Halo money else where.

Studio, people possibly holding off for November, and Microsoft had dual marketing rights with Fallout 4 which is also a huge franchise.  It very well could be painting a slightly skewed data point.  Something to think about anyway.


This is probably true then, also Halo 5 is actually disappointing due to lackluster.(offline Coop, offline Multiplayer & lan party). I'm sure this is how caused by.

Pretty sad, people didn't care about this game, they just went to Fallout 4(Or Black Ops 3) anyway.



I think it will sell much better as times goes by. MS have only themselves to blame for milking it so much.
