| SWORDF1SH said: Halo has also declined, no doubt about it. Unless it bucks the trend we are looking at 5M sales maximum. This leaves MS in a situation. Do they reduce the budget for the next game to allow for the lower projected sales and risk further decline or spend big to try and get it back to what it was and chance losing millions. Sony are in the same situation with GT. |
Do you think Halo 5 will lose them millions? I've no idea how much it costs to develop a game like this, but I've heard it didin't have that much marketing, so I'd say Halo 5 is still making them healthy profits. It's not like sales are horrible, just disappointing for Halo, but holidays are yet to come.
Even if Halo has declined, there's still demand for it and I think they have a chance to hit it big time with grande finale. Competition was rough this year, no split-screen, Master Chief not being a main character etc. there's plenty they can improve.
