Forums - Sales Discussion - Splatoon outsells Halo. CoD(AW) next? Nintendo to retake the shooter crown?

Well, can't argue with people who just won't accept facts.

"You don't know digital sales for sure, so we just don't look at them at all!"

Ignoring official statements from O'Connor (5 Million sold 10 months ago) or EA (30% of the sales are digital on PS4 / Xbox One) or the fact that the legendary edition from Halo 5 "only" included a digital code.

Yet, we ONLY look at VGC and use a 0.7% difference (margin of error?) to make the claim: Splatoon outsold Halo 5.

But yeah, whatever makes you happy.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

There's no point telling them what you believe to be obvious. Show them, like the post above. They're just using data that they have available at the time. Which is more than fair.

I already posted the 5 million figure earlier. That didn't stop them. xD

"5 Million Shipped+Digital by end of January 2016. There you go."

Shipped =/= sold.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

A year later they still haven't sold the shipment? Ok mate!

......and if Nintendo has 12% digital sales they also hit 5m. We could keep going round and round.

Hopefully Switch settles the argument once and for all.

Well, then there is simply nothing you or I can do. I didn't see your post.

 

They should enjoy the success of Splatoon for what it is. A new multiple million selling IP for Nintendo.

Except that would be a different release!

Maybe we should add PSONE Classic sales onto the original PS1 titles sales too! Just like adding the Nes Classic sales onto the Nes. lmao

Plus, wouldn't the Switch version not be Splatoon,but instead Splatoon 1.5? It would be another game, kind of.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

We know it at least has new maps and accessories atm. But yeah I really don't like that some people want to combine titles sales as if they were one release.

Splatoon 1.5 or whatever it's called will outsell the next Halo, imo.

Not WiiU + Switch.

Just Switch.

*or PS4 Pro sales to PS4

Alright, now that's a statement I can accept. It could happen, though I think it'll have a hard time if it is just a minor upgrade over the original. If it was Splatoon 2 I think it'd be more likely.

That prediction is a possibility.
