Let's wait for NPD tomorrow night folks. They are both exclusive to 1 platform so we'll easily know which sold most without needing leaks although they'll give us the exact numbers.
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 |

1st Its rated T not M. 2nd Do you know how high the expenditures are? For the ads alone... very high I think. 3rd Yes it will, but the sales are dropping at a massive amount every week. Lets wait for that. 4th Yes. But both games are shooters. Thats the point here I guess. 5th Many people said that Halo is one of those big fishes or even bigger. Fallout is a big fish too. Did it have problems? What about COD? Sure Halo is only on Xbox One, but look at previous Halo games. This should not be a problem for a game like this. |
Not sure which country your from, Halo 5 is rated M here not T, different rating systems it seems. You also know Halo 5 will sell thought the years. Its getting more and more content and will probably stop selling until the next big Halo game arrives.
Dont forget on the WiiU there isnt much shooters to choose from, Spaltoon has nothing to compete with, so its User Base will more then likely consider buying Spaltoon where as Halo 5 is competing with just about every other FPS game in existent and its doing a fine good job at it. Halo doesnt need to outsell everything to be a successful game niether does Splatoon.
Wait, so Splatoon has more sales than Halo 5 atm...? I find that hard to believe o_o
Dance my pretties!

Where are you from? I only saw it rated 'T' there. I'm from Germany and here it is for people 16 and older (same as teen in the US I think). Microsoft said this will improve Halo sales:

I thought everyone knows that already :D
Yeah you're right. With all of it. But it shows what a huge success Splatoon is. Many people thought that'll never happen. Lets just watch how this ends :) Definite is that both games are well made and a lot of fun. And both are a success.
Edit: Okay I checked your country. In Australia its rated M. :D Sry.

Lack of shooters on WiiU play for both sides.
If there was no shooters on WiiU before and there wasn't a huge influx of users then the userbase don't really care that much about shooters. So altough it doesn't have competition from shooters (but have from several good games) it also don't have a formed market on it. So you can nullify this point. It probably is selling more on it's freshness than on lack of competition.

Thats why the game has such a 'childish' style. If it were like COD noone would buy it on WiiU. And yeah these harmless art of a shooter made it available and more interesting for the young gamers and older Nintendo fans. Best decision made for this game.

Quite possibly right. And it's the visual trademark of Nintendo as well.

I didn't think so, but with Splatoon tracking ahead after only 5 weeks, in the US, on black Friday, it may have a chance
According to the recently posted Global chart for Black Friday week, Splatoon just barely beat Halo 5 by a mere 1,473 units...
DAMN.

It could, Splatoon has better legs than the Halo franchise, and outsold/pretty much matched Halo 5 on Black Friday. The only problem is that Halo 5 will probably have more time to sell than Splatoon, since the Xbox One's successor will probably be released after Wii U's.
