Halo 5 : "Industry sources support our belief that Halo 5 digital sales were much closer to half of units than the 20-25% GameStop is suggesting."

Aren´t you kind of pointing the finger back at yourself with that post considering your vague "they could loose money even if they made $500M"? :)

I didn't say it lost money, I said it's a possibility.

And the burden is in the one that is claiming it reaped a lot of profit (even phrasing like 500M is of profits)

And the person you quoted only said it was "highly unlikely" it didn't make a profit, not that it did a profit. So you are both circling the space of vague statements :).

Nope.. the original claim I was discussing and asking for proof was related to this

 

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.

 

Now say that it isn't implying that for certain it made several hundred millions in profit?
