1. Halo 4 was released as the xbox 360's last hurrah, to an installbase that's going to be the largest an install base is going to be for a halo game. It was massively frontloaded, and even then it was only barely outpacing Reach, untill its legs died halfway through 2013. 2. Both have more 10 million selling mainline games than not. GT6 was a cash grab to fund GT7 on the next gen and should have never been released. Of course the latest home marios aren't going to break 10 million when the install base isn't even at 10 million. Try looking at the 3ds that has MK7 and 3d land that are 6 months top from breaking 10 million.... 3. Yet, the best Halo could do on an install base 3 and a half times larger is sell only 1.4 times as well, shows that the franchise hasn't really grown from 8 million of Halo 2. XBO sales are dreadful and only going to get (relatively) worse, which means that according to (almost) everybody on this site, not do that well really as people think this gen will shrink. |
1. Again Halo 4 was out-tracking Reach up until XBO release. It would not have been very doubtful for it to pass Reach. You also realize that VGC does not track digital. So how much has Halo sold ditially? Or digital bundles that VGC use to not track as well, both in which could easily push halo to 10m, we dont know.
2. ISnt it kind of contradicting to call Halo 4 360's last hurrah and then go on to make an ecuse for GT6 selling not just 500k short of GT5 but roughly 8m less than GT5. IF you are saying Halo is declining when it sells 500k less than Reach regardless of the end of console cycle, then what does that mean for GT? Oh right, there is an excuse for that.
We are talking about home consoles, not handhelds which generally has different trends. Even then yes Mario is a big seller no doubt, just pointing out that it isnt eactly selling 10m at this moment either. IN time, possible, but it doesnt seem like fans are rushing out to buy the wiiu over it.
3. So youre saying XBO is going to do worst from here on out even though it has no heavy hitters yet and only one holiday?
