Microsoft did the same thing with Halo 3. Microsoft doesn't reports sales, thats npd job for north america. |
"Retailers took more than 1.7 million preorders for the game, which runs on Microsoft's Xbox 360 console."
You missed that part. So, Halo 3 had 1.7 million preorders plus actual launch day sales on Day 1. That's much higher than what Halo 5 sold (and its sales spanned over more than 1 day).
How about their PR for Halo 4?
"Exciting news for the Halo team at 343 Industries and Microsoft Studios – critically acclaimed, “Halo 4” is now the best-selling Microsoft Studios title ever in the U.S. market*, surpassing its predecessor, “Halo 3” for sales during each respective launch year."
