| darkenergy said: Halo 5 made alot of money, but a few in here(or who were in here) are trying to downplay almost any success MS gets(and thus the moderations). Let's see what NPD tells us. |
NPD will make things a lot better, but still won't tell us clearly (without more detailed PR or major MS leaks) the total number of sales, just ranking.
Worst case, we will just see (1)- Halo 5, #1 software for the week. Which is entirely predictable, what else could there be?
PS4 vs X1 console sales wise, it looks to be fairly close with a slight to moderate probability that PS4 takes it (call it 60/40, PS4 won easily on Amazon/BB/etc in terms of non-preorder sales IN October, but preorders have yet to be accounted for until NPD).
But will we know if Halo 5 broke 2M retail in the US? Not without some decent leaks. If I had to guess, retail US sales would be between 1.75M-2.25M first week, with potentially 25% digital over that. Who knows, we'll have to wait and see. We can REALLY hope that we get some leaks come NPD, but don't be too disappointed if all we get is that Halo 5 was the #1 software for October, and PS4 was the #1 console for October. Better numbers may not come at all, or take much longer to arrive (such as Halo 5 sold X,XXX,XXX in holidays 2015).
