Let's do a summary.
1.5M in US for first week and according to VGC the ROW make up 32% of sales(Halo 4). This gives us a projection of 2.2M at retail WW.
Now add digital. 20% is the upper limit for digital and I believe that Halo will be pushing that or exceeding it slightly so we'll stick with 20% of sales being digital. That brings the total up to 2.75M digital and retail.
Now we can project the LTD sales. According to VGC, 1st week accounted for 38% of LTD for Halo 4. This will project Halo 5 to have a LTD of 7.34M
So if rumor is correct and VGC data is reliable LTD sales should be between 6.6M and 8M.
That's isn't too bad for halo, but puts it below 2,3,4 and Reach. |
Nice breakdown, however I believe digital is a little higher. Maybe even 30 percent, here's why. The halo 5 consoles were all digital, and the LE's were digital. Also I feel like people wanted to play right at midnight(9pm here on the west coast). Buying it digitally allowed people to download the big patch early. Anyway I think it's at least 20%. Also I feel like the 38% of ltd is fw is too low for this game. It's early in the gen and there's only 15 million consoles sold. If 343 doesn't put out a halo fps in the next year or 2 it will help h5's legs. Although if we go odst2 or something next year that would kill it. Seams like halo wars might come out late next year if it doesn't get delayed. I don't think a era will hurt its sales. And with all the free content being added that can only help.
Anyway if u are right
2.75 million Fw and 7.34 LT isn't that bad for a console that isn't in great shape. Some people act like its the end of the world but that isn't really that bad.

Why do people keep saying that the xboxone is in a not so good state/ shape when it is still leading the 360 in the equivalent timeframe? Was the 360 in poor shape at the same time point in time? Not sure I understand this??
