1. Not at all. The avg gamer on PS buys 2 games a year. If they can't find Fallout they'll just buy another of the dozen or so games. Lower is an understatement. In the UK and US, it was down by almost 60-70%. Halo 3 sold 3.3 million in 12 days compared to Halo 5's 935-1.2M in 1 month in the US.

Giving a game away for free does not make it a success. A F2P game's success depends on the number of MAU over the years and avg user spend. We'll see if a F2P Halo can survive in a multiplayer world that has largely moved on.

Twitch Monthly Peak Sept 2021:

  • Fortnite - 1,300,000
  • COD - 350,000
  • Apex - 330,000
  • Halo - 72,000

2. No you did not. None of those games are big IPs, and it just proved my point. I'm talking about the Witchers, ACs, Star Wars, FFs, Batmans, REs, Souls of the world, big SP IPs that sell close to 10M and higher.

3. The way that business model works is by bundling its only a save if you play multiple of those games, which may only apply to a minority. Its also telling that the big three, Fortnite, Apex, Warzone are missing.

Lol okay. How about we wait for Halo Infinite to release and see those instead throwing out twitch numbers for 5+ year old Halo games. 

So Game Pass needs day 1 releases of some of the largest IP's in the industry to be successful? Lol How many new movies/tv shows come to Netflix that aren't published by them? Oh right, none. While Game Pass gets day 1 releases constantly from 3rd party games ranging from A-AAA. 

Apex has bundles in Game Pass. Fortnite and Warzone currently don't but that could change. Really weird thing to get nitpicky about, but not surprising considering how high your expectations are for this service that is handily the best deal in gaming. 

L M A O

those are the numbers for Halo Infinite. We'll see how it performs when it fully releases.

Halo 5 had an all time peak viewership of 120k.....
