We really still doing this dance? It's time to just accept it, Halo 5 greatly underperformed. Period. And no, digital sales are not making up for it. Even at just 30%, it would set the record for the most digital sales for the entire industry (at least for consoles), which means MS would have actually given a percentage. At 50%, they would be on every news program/site, proclaiming it with megaphones.


Lol they did. They said it sold better than minecraft(1 million). 1 million is 40% if the game did 1.5 million physical. 


I can vouch for this, specially since Halo seems to have a very high, even by console standards, attach rate. The people saying MS would be screaming it at the top of their lungs have to provide precedent of that happening...

Not to mention, at 700,000 units alone, you have $42M in earnings. That's pretty low. At 1.5 million, that'd be more than enough to cover dev costs...

As for digital estimates, it's not unbelievable for it to sell 1M. If it really is the digital XONE best seller, we only need the highest digital numbers for the Xbox One, Minecraft's total sales, Minecraft's X360 physical sales and Minecraft's Xbox One physical sales and we can obtain a ballpark number for Halo 5 digital sales through an elimination process alone...
