I wouldn't be surprised, MS stated it was the best selling digital Xbox game ever.

My question is why are people (1) salty in here when they hear news like this. Its only sales, who cares.

If you don't care why do you post in this thread? I mean, if someone makes a thread about something I don't care about I won't post in this thread, simple isn't it?

or do you just don't care because Halo 5 underperformed so bad?

Bolded (1): Can you link me those comments with people being salty about it in this thread?

1.The thread isnt the problem, i like to read the news just like the next guy. Its the posters, as if there all trying to justify a games success and failure. Halo 5 is a very successful game that failed to outsell Halo 4, but its a successful brand which has made MS half a billion $$$. Thats more important then how many phyical copies a game has sold. 2.Profit is always first.  Theres no ifs and buts about it. Everytime i hear something good about a game i read comments like "They spin the news" "They lied" " Failure" etc.

I wishm i could quit my job tomorrow and work for these devs because the amnount of money they make, will put us all to shame and we are willing to justify a games success based off 1 aspect of its sales.

For the reecord, i brought the game digital like all my other friends did. Not saying digital is going to outsell its phyical versions but its not something to take lightly, i wouldnt be suprised if Halo sold 1m in digital alone.

You are talking about a console that was designed around a digital future.

1.Bolded: Nobody is saying the game is a failure (maybe some sony fanboys) everyone knows that the game sold good but it sold bad compared to other halo games!

2.Bolded: We are on a site dedicated to sales so they come first.

Summary halo sold good as a game but bad compared to other halo games sorry but you can't deny that.

Sales sites are awesome, but theres no need to downgrade what is a huge success. Its also unclear to say it has sold less when the game is still on the shelves. Halo 5 could sell for many years and end up on 10m. Who knows, either way 1.5m sales phyical only is far from a failure and considering its MP appeal it will most likely continue to sell.  It hasent sold aswell as Halo 4 at launch but that doesnt mean the game isnt huge or great or will sell well in the future.
