endimion said: I don't know about you but I wouldn't count reports of poor retail sales at face value... Most XBO owners and especially halo fans bought it online no doubt about it... It's not a game you resell until the next one come and by then it's worthless on the second hand market.... So yeah pretty sure halo 5 will beat global sales of 4 in attached rate even in the UK... Actually everywhere, no doubt about it... And since when ethomaz says anything right about XBO??? |
So you are claiming that >50% of Halo 5 sales will be digital? I think there is considerable doubt about that.
40% would be a pretty amazing digital sales level. My feeling is that people with a special attachment to a game would tend to want to have a physical copy in their lives, not all but a pretty high proportion. I know for me a game I feel a special connection to I will absolutely buy physical, whereas a game I merely like I will buy digital once our download speeds improve and if I have the HDD space.
