Forums - Sales Discussion - So, at the end, Splatoon will outsell Halo 5. HANDS DOWN!

 

Did you ever think this was possible!?

yes, since E3 2014 64 13.94%
 
Yes, after Splatoon launch 56 12.20%
 
Yes, after Halo first week in UK 80 17.43%
 
I never expected that. wow... 256 55.77%
 
Total:456

It's impressive that Splatoon may have a chance in beating Halo. It had the odds against it being a new IP, smaller budget and being on a worst selling console.

If the reports are somewhat true, then Microsoft must be shitting themselves, there biggest IP is no longer the seller it was once. It doesn't bode too well for their gaming division

You still don't know the digital sales or WW sales of Halo 5. While you're using the shipped + digital WW numbers of Splatoon. Should probably wait until we get all the numbers before jumping to this conclusion.


Right, forgot about the 90% digital sales of Halo 5.

Seriusly: Even with digital sales, Halo 5 sales can't even close with the others Halo games. You know is true.

I also don't think Splatoon will get close to 5 million. If Wii U was going to get a 30 million end of life LTD then 5 million for Spaltoon would be on, but a sub 20 million Wii U, just not a big enough install base.

Again with the userbase?

Mario Katr 8 is already over 5 million, ship+digital is now over 6 million, and LT MK8 will break easy 7.5 million, most likely 8 million.

While Splatoon won't beat Mario Kart LT sales ( maybe ) you guys need to understand, SPLATOON SALES ARE AT MARIO KART 8 LEVELS. This, is a fact.

5 million LT for Splatoon is so low, is absolutely the worst scenario, most likely 6 million or more.



Black Friday and Christmas are very close Halo 5 will easily jump up in numbers on those days. Cute prediction though.

That's not a prediction.

If we only count physical sales it's possible Splatoon will appear to sell more. But it seems Halo 5 digital sales are going to be unusually high, so I think with true sales Halo 5 will sell the most by a decent margin.

One thing tho, the big N seem to be keen to push Splatoon with a lot of bundles, coming towards the holiday it's going to have basically Wii Sports attach rate levels because it'll be cheaper probably to get a Wii-U with it than without.

That said I'm still in the Halo5 > Splat sales camp with you.

When it comes to the bundling game I think this video might apply:

Splatoon has sold 2.42 million ship+digital.

The point is that Splatoon is selling better than what Mario kart was selling in 2014, here the point that many people don't get it.

Mario Kart has sold in May and June 2014 2.82m. Then in July, August, and September 2014, has sold 670k.

Splatoon has sold in May and June 2015 1.62m. Way less than Mario Kart, but what's happen after this? Splatoon sold in July, August, and September 2015 800k.

 

More than Mario Kart.

Now, if we talk about Mario Kart 8 VS Halo 5, there is no way for Halo 5 sell more, not even with the sales of XB1 compared to Wii U.

Since Splatoon looks like is very, VERY close to Mario Kart 8, worldwide, well, that is.

If will happen in 2015, and is very likely, Halo can't beat Splatoon lifetime.

Even with the NX incoming, Nintendo games have better legs, and Splatoon legs are insane, even for a Nintendo game.

How much of Halo's typical LT sales does it normally sell its its first year (8/9weeks)?

Halo 3 first NPD: 3.30m

End of 2007: 4.82m

Also, in UK, Halo 5 is dropped by 78% the second week.
