To peeps saying Halo 4 seems low, VGC has the U.S.A total at 3.3M, would assume that's regular, limited and console "bundle", so seems to fit.

Weel the GAF are saying it sold less than Halo 3 or Reach... so less than 3.3 million for sure.



Did "cream" specify it was less than Reach or 3, or some random user?

GAF also use creamsugar's number to guess it,but it's likely

Within 10% of each other. They virtually sold the same. Especially considering NPD guessed Walmart sales for Reach and Halo 3.

There is no more Walmart gesses... NPD tracks Walmart since July.

Halo 4 sold a little less than Reach in the release month... the GAF guys is saying that's bad because the Halo 4 had the Black Friday in release month (no other Halo had that).

For me seems like the release in November was a bad ideia from Microsoft... the CoD hurted Halo sales a little.

I still need to know BO2 360 numbers(becuase http://majornelson.com/2012/12/06/november-2012-npds/#disqus_thread),hope he give us

Yeap... I don't like this franchise but they did great in US... last year numbers for both version were ~700k... this year over 1 million... I'm impressed.

I think BLOPS 2 sales was hurted by Halo 4 too.



Proclus on 06 December 2012

Why does the thread title say PS3: >750k? I thought it was established that this was a wild guess based on units rather than revenue, or did I miss some new data?

Yeah all the numbers I posted was HW rev. Considering Wii U launch increasing rev by a little and BF bundles decreasing rev by a lot I think the numbers would be like 10% off for any. So still no idea on the numbers *waits for Creamsugar*

ugh that's what I wrote.

Reach and Halo 3 have a higher margin of error than Halo 4 because they guessed Walmart sales back then. So it's possible (not 100% likely, but still possible) that Halo 4 actually outsold both games.
That's it though you can't say it for sure so they sold the same amount. And that's pretty good considering sales are down everywhere.
