Saying any Halo game would do anything close to the 3rd on a similar install base is insane. Those were the days before COD. Even COD,  a massive juggaurnut, is in decline. The entire genre is facing a decline, as people move away, and more and more sales move to digital platforms. 

 

Now Halo 5 probably did ok, but anyone expecting Halo 3 sales were insane. Its nothing to do with who's "worthy", its the fact that the genre is oversaturated at this point.

I expect mainline Halo numbers regardless of install base, if Uncharted did 3m LTD or Mario Kart did 4m LTD that would be a disaster.

 

Sorry, but it doesnt work that way anymore. I do expect Halo 5's legs will be far better than Halo 4's, though 7-8 million is about the best we will see, which would still be better than Halo CE, MCC, and ODST and around the same as Halo 2.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
