It's 5 million shipped guys. Probably physical copies shipped to retailers and digital sell through for the 5 million total, but the retail figure they pulled is for shipped to retailers when that one Bungie dev posted on NeoGAF. ZHugeEX shared the sentiment.

Microsoft has not revealed sell through numbers. And also, the install base arguement is trash for a system seller.

Is that 5 million sold through or shipped? Because game shipments are way less common than console shipments outside of the launch window. A January 2016 shipment of the game could be all of the games stock for 2016.

 

When you claim that it's sold better than Uncharted 4 you're making some big assumptions.

 

You also didn't seem to read the parts of my post where  I say that userbase has an effect on sales, or where I talk about  Uncharted 4 being on the market for less than half the time Halo 5 has been.

How can you ship digital sales? Its been confirmed by 343 that Halo 5 has sold over 5million units. 4million physical at the time which leads to be 1million worth of Digital sales.

Here help yourself

Userbase plays a massive roll on sales, and considering Halo 5 being one of the worst selling Halo games in the franchise, and UC4 being the best PS4 game on the market and they come out sqaure on sales.. (excluding Digital) that is a compliment to Halo not UC4.

Heres a good stat for the people in this thread.

1 in every 4 XB1 owners has Halo 5

1 in every 8 PS4 owners has UC4

Now until Sony claims UC4 has sold over 5million units, than at this very point in time, Halo 5 has sold more than UC4. This Article and its headline is misleading.

That isn't Microsoft's PR. The only thing that we know  is that Uncharted 4 sold 2.7 millions 1 week worldwide without bundle, but with Digital.

Those sales numbers are from Gaf.

Nah that's not 5 million sell through. It's 5 million total including shipped to retail and sell through for digital. Stop lying azzanation, the 5 million figure originated on NeoGAF from a 343I dev and he never clarified sell in or sell through despite being asked multiple times. Aside from that, ZHugeEX himself agreed that the numbers are sell in. All the articles stating halo sold 5 million use that one NeoGAF post as their source since no official Microsoft PR was ever released on the subject.
