| binary solo said: So shouldn't we have a reality check here? Splatoon hasn't quite sold 2 million yet according to VGC. Halo 5 will be at almost 2 million, if not at 2 million week 1. Where is this certainly that Splatoon LTD > Halo 5 LTD coming from? According to an insider at NPD Halo 5 did 935K in the USA in October which includes physical sales and the Halo 5 bundle. Apparently this insider is legit and he seems to have been permission to post limited confirmed info on Neogaf. That plus UK puts Halo 5 over 1 million in the first week from just those two countries. Halo 5 is also big in some of the minor countries and so also with it selling pretty well to whoever has a Xb one in Europe should nudge Halo 5 up against 2 million, in just one week. Even if Halo 5 has the worst legs in Halo history, as well as having had the worst launch week, the game is going to outpace Splatoon. It will overtake Splatoon's LTD within 3 weeks, and it's weekly sales should stay marginally ahead for several months at least. |
LMAO.
Are you gonna say Halo 5 has sold 2 million or nearly that only in retail?
935k in the US. 150k in UK. Under 1.1m UK + US.
Those markets are >70% of XB1 sales, and the Halo sales are even bigger in those two markets, robabily around 75-80% of WW sales.
Hell, in Spain Halo 5 was out of the TOP 10 in October! In Italy was #7... Outside US and UK Halo sales were atrocius.
Halo retail only is probabily under 1.5 million, or barely over this. Including digital? Maybe 1.7 million, not more.
You seriusly overestimate Halo if you think USA sales are less than 50%...
And if you wanna know my opinion, Halo has a good chance of surpass Splatoon, but in 2016 Splatoon is gonna sell more.
Halo won't sell 1.5 million in 2016, Splatoon will. If not more.
