By the way is a controller also considered as "hardware"??

Don't know. I personally consider it an accessory, but I could see a company consider it hardware.

This is frigin' hilarious:



Halo 5: Guardians has made history as the biggest Halo launch and fastest-selling Xbox One exclusive game to-date, with more than $400 million in global sales of Halo 5: Guardians games and hardware

and currently the highest rated Xbox One exclusive, first-person shooter game of 2015, according to Metacritic.

Why do they even bother to write this kind of stuff? lol

Because people read it without trying to understand it, so they read something like "best Halo launch ever" and huge numbers only. You can see such reactions in the other thread about this PR ;)

If it's a mechanical or electronic device, or just a lump of plastic, then it's hardware.

Actually just a few weeks probably, until NPD and the impending massive loss in November shatter MS's little fantasy facade :P



Someone just mentioned something over at Gaf that I'd forgotten and I bet quite a few people have. Not only was the MS PR a little (how would you say) misleading, but it would have included sales of the game that released a WEEK before officially launching. The PR states 'at the end of the launch week' which allows them to add the extra week in and still make it look like it's only 1 week when in actual fact it's 2 weeks.

That'll just make them focus more on the one ray of light that happened in October.

The bundle released on the 20th, so they counted 2 weeks.
