I really enjoyed the Halo 5 beta, but in general, I'm sort of over competitive FPS shooters. Battlefront will be the exception, but that will be short lived. The Halo user base has shrunk, regardless. People have been jumping ship to COD, Battlefield, and now Destiny. The hype and name alone will make it a success, but yeah, it's probably not even going to sell as much as Halo 4. It may do 5 million, but doubt much more. Will 5 million be considered a success? I have to imagine MS is putting $100 million into marketing and promotion from now until release. But Halo 5 is also a huge marketing tool for Xbox One in general. |
It'll do much more than 5 million lifetime. I can see 10-12 million lifetime (Halo 3 did 15 million, and the 360 userbase was much smaller).

Halo 3 did 12m according to vgc. And this game should probably be more compared to Halo 4 (9,5m) since it's the same developer and the last main entry in the series. The userbase then was quite large, as it came out in 2012.
