I didnt say you said anything bad about it, what Im saying is there is no need to speculate on something that is accurate compared to something that isnt.  This site has never been accurate.  If they say it's sold 43 million then that's what it has sold.   We don't know exactly what games he is including or if it is retail only, we just don't know.  


If you recognize that I didn't say anything bad about the franchise, then there's no reason to bring it up. Period.

No we don't know if and by how much it's overtracked. That's why it's speculation. Again, speculation has always been very prevelant on this site. If you don't like speculation then you can just leave the site altogether.

No, we cannot speak in absolutes. Yes, there are plenty of possibilities. We can only look at the data and make judgements on which seems the most likely, but unfortunately, because of some people in this thread, they don't want to see any discussion as it could potentially mean their franchise would be knocked down by a tiny bit. It's sad.

It would be nice if when interesting information like this releases, that threads could have meaningful discussions with people from all sides bringing in different ideas that we could all consider, but no...as soon as some people do bring out different ideas and explanations, they have to simotaneously resort to flaming and perpetuating this childish console war (not talking about you). Thus forming an us-against-them mentality and rendering any discussion of the subject impossible.


Im fine with speculation but how can you speculate on facts.  Halo has sold 43 million.  I believe he would know more than this site. Each game could be over-tracked by a simple 500, 000 on here for all we know and that could be how it got over-tracked but all in honesty 100% of the games on this site is no exactly correct.   That 500,000 doesnt sound like much but if each game gets over-tracked by 500, 000 that ends up being 3.5 million.  My point is I doubt if one game on here is over-tracked by 3 million.  It would most likely be each game has be over-tracked by a few thousand which adds up.
