| Barozi said: thread has really gone downhill. People coming in without realising this is US only (and a rumor). People claiming that UK = ~(Worldwide minus US) for X1 software sales. CoD AW First Week (US 57.5%; UK 12.9%; Rest 29.6%) Destiny First Week (US 59.4%; UK 12.7%; Rest 27.9%) Halo MCC First Week (US 60.3%; UK 11.4%; Rest 28.3%) People trying to act as if 10%, 20% or 30% digital sales of a game that sold about 2m retail WW (if the rumor is correct) is as insignificant as the same ratio for games that do well below 1m. (hint: even if the ratio is the same, the absolute numbers are quite different). _______________________________________________________________ If the rumor is correct, Halo 5 should be around 2.1m retail and probably around 2.5m with digital. Btw. does that 1.4-1.5m even include the bundle? |
If you extrapolate those numbers, UK is 10% of WW numbers. In other words, if the report of first week UK Halo sales being ~150K is accurate, then this GAF rumor is spot on.
