I seen some earlier posts saying Halo 5 flopped. How did it flop exactly? Did people expect it to hit 3 million+? Not even COD on xbox one did that first week. I just don't understand people sometimes.

Not sure what qualifies as a flop to be honest, but I doubt anyone expected numbers so low for the first mainline Halo on X1.

In other words, as just another game it did good/great. As a Halo entry it is a severe decline.

Halo 5's first week sales in the US = >1.3m (Inc DD)
Halo 3's first week sales in the US = >3.3m

First mainline Halo games on 360 & One.

Didn't something similar happen to Gears of War?
