You seem to misunderstood, but I will let you figure it out.

 

I think you and WoodenPints misunderstood actually. I said :

 

-TR launch was a failure (not even in NPD, behind Just Dance...).

-TR was discounted in December (so, after the failed launch chronologically, not a cause/effect judgment). 

-The discounts of this Christmas season surely gave a good boost to the game sales, maybe at the expense of the game's profitability. 

-Ms announce "okay" sales numbers, nothing good.

 

So, can you explain how are the Battlefront or Halo 4 discounts relevant here?  

 

1.  why was it a failure.  What were you expecting.  Do you think MS thought it was going to sell 2mil+ by 2016? Why would you think that?

2. What discounts be specific.  Does Uncharted collection going bundled for $299 not count as a sold game?  It was given away for free after all. 

3. Yes it was okay. nothing good nor bad.
