You can easily tell this game didn;t sell close to previous Halo entries other wise they would of said sale numbers.

They NEVER say first week sales numbers, even Halo 3 only provided money numbers and I am sure you aren't going to claim that sold badly are you?

But there are numbers that show this new halo sold less than half what Halo 3 did (from the UK).

Its safe to assume if the trend follows (unless americans and britians have suddenly got really differnt tastes in games), that its the same in the US.

 

But it doesnt matter, because they made alot of money from hardware+software+microtransactions (400million).

 

If another big game franchise suddenly sold half what it normally sells... people would be raveing about it in threads.

In here its like its not even acknowledged. I guess until we have actual sales numbers from the US thats fair enough.

there are some "estimates" of UK sales, nothing concrete as they don't include digital and we have no idea on digital percentage, and that again still has nothing to do with how MS worded their PR announcement, which is mostly the same way they have done it for all previous halo versions, i.e. in dollar terms.

Its just this PR makes it sound like Halo did amasing (game sales wise in number of game sales).

If you only look at that game sales, thats just not true.

It appears to have sold half of what halo 3 did (in the uk).

 

Thats not relevant to the thread? because its about a PR announcement of revenue?

We re on a site dedicated to game sales.

 

I feel like its fair to say so, but apperntly no one acknowledges it (you yourself talked around it).

Xbox fans are like "whatever 400million revenue", even if your franchise might have sold half of what it normally does.

If another big franchise suddenly sold half of what it normally does, everyone would be going like... okay thats a  bad sign.
