so you take the average digital game sales ration from gamespot, and use it in your argument. but you dont use the fact that they said halo 5 performed in that range. even though they are written in the same article and from the exact same source. fantastic hypocrisy right there.


Gamestop used the 20 to 25 percent because thats the average for a game. Halo 5 is not the average game obviously because it sold more digitally than any other xbox game on opening week. So it makes sense to above the average at least.

Do you even understand how percentages work? Do you? It's a serious question.

30% of 1M is 300k.

15% of 2M is 300k.

20% of 2M is 400k. 

Can you spot the argument here? Yeaaa buddy good job, percentages don't mean shit until we know the exact number of games sold. So it might be the best selling game on X1, because no game over 400K which is totally normal. It's still 20%, it's still not 50% of the sales.

And no, Halo 5 is not your average game because that's not how it was phrased formerly. The former sentence was something like "digital sales account for 15/25% on average" which totally different. 

Now I'm gonna log out of this forum, before I get banned.
