Totally forgot about some of the leaked details. Some interested ones. 

 

  • Yearly franchise starting 2013-2020 - Seems like more and more of these now with COD/AC/BF-Medal of Honor rotation. 
  • Activision can terminate the contract if game doesn't sell 5 million copies in first 6 months.  - Wow. So it pretty much has to sell better than Gears of War. 
  • Game is targetting rating of Teen/Pegi 16. - This is interesting as most big sellers has been rated M. Could change though. 
Also Bungie will receive $2.5 million bonus if game receives plus 90 on gamerankings.com. - Guess they are not big fans of Metacritic lol. Also there are other things posted on the neogaf link posted. 

 

5mil in 6 months? I can't think of one new IP this gen that has managed to sell that well that quickly except bundled software, Wii Sports and Kinect Adventures. I know it only says that they "can" terminate the contract, but if they honestly think the game can potentially sell 5mil in 6 months, they are pretty damn crazy. New Ips are very slow burners and heavily depend on word of mouth which takes time to spread.
