You haven't proven the Halo bundles length of availability, manufacturing scope, and territorial availability. Prove that the bundles were ALL global and mass produced and I will say your thread has some kind of relevance.....which isn't gonna happen.

I am using common sense.....using a 10 year old remake against a full release (with major marketing) like Halo 3, Reach, or especially 4......is one of the most idiotic anti-Halo arguments I have ever heard.


Someone already posted masses of bundle images, problem with retailers mass bundles is they remove them when eventually stop, but here are a few for Halo 4.

Nevermind that Halo 4 bundles thus far have been limited in scope and retailers can do whatever bundles they want...

The main issue is you using a 10 year old remakes sales and comparing that to a mainline/heavily marketed Halo release.That by far makes this entire argument invalid.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

@wander

would be nice if you would use the tools to show how much the sales of halo games increased when they got the bundles you posted. i wonder if all those bundles together sold even 1m or more like 500k.


i dont care if Halo get's bundled or not. I just get pissed off when i see Gran Turismo and  Uncharted get raped for getting bundled after they made a huge profit.

GT5 alone probably made sony 500m$ not counting DLC.

Uhh...not really. Sure, they do sell a good number of copies because of bundles. But certainly nothing close to what they sell in total.

I think they sell mainly for two reasons. 1. They're shooters. 2. They're good games.



Ganoncrotch on 08 January 2013

if it were so easy why wouldn't Sony copy the idea and have it's Exclusives sell as well as Halo? Don't understand.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

To Wanders:

GT5 alone probably made sony 500m$ not counting DLC? Wow~! Sony must be in black now because of GT5....

Just joke~! You pissed off because someone trolled your favorite games and you came here to troll Halo. So logical and reasonable.....

Grown up, kid~! Let us just focus on enjoying games.

We have yet to see significant spikes in hw-sales of 360 when bundles were released. So until now the op is guessing and opinion.

Halo 4 bundles are everywhere, they not limited in scope.

...and what about ODST, expansion pack spin-off that just used Halo 3 MP, yet a full fledged remake is meant to be the bad example?

Halo 4 bundles are in quantity, but doesnt mean theres millions of them. Hundreds of thousands sure, but that isnt much when the game is at 7.4 million. Get it?

I wouldnt count ODST, Halo Wars, or Halo CEA. They are the expansion, spinoff, and remake of the Halo brand. They are not on the same scale as Halo 3, Reach and Halo 4. If you want to be credible, stick to the big 3.

Again, since you didn't address it. "The main issue is you using a 10 year old remakes sales and comparing that to a mainline/heavily marketed Halo release.That by far makes this entire argument invalid."
