Forums - Microsoft - Next Gen Halo will be bigger than Call of Duty

Argh_College on 11 January 2013

Things are changing again and the old king is returning !!

Look at USA charts this week Halo 4 is beating Call of Duty ! i predict Call of Duty decline next gen and Halo will rise once again to be the best selling FPS franchise!

Halo 4 is the fastest selling Halo game ever and according to NPD it actually looks undertracked here, since Far Cry 3 did over 1m and is 6th on NPD Data, Halo 4 is 3rd. Above AC3 wich according to VGC did 1.5M! If thats right Halo 4 might have had a 1.7m December on the U.S!

Also UK charts show Halo 4 above Black Ops 2. Just like Swedish Charts where Halo 4 is 2nd!

Things are changing and the king is slowly coming back!

Long Live the King of FPS, Long Live Master Chief!

The mere fact it is going to only be on one system makes your fan boy argument irrelevent

Halo will never beat COD sales overall, Halo releases every 3-4 years, COD every year.
Halo might beat the Xbox version of COD on release year overlap, but never PS4+Xbox+PC+WiiU(hey it sold a little on Wii) COD numbers

I disagree, it'll be a new console generation. Gamers will want to see what a next gen COD game looks like.

On Xbox only? Thats quite possible.



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

Serious thread?

USA

Black Ops 2 (360), 8 Weeks of data - 6,206,912
Halo 4, 9 Weeks of data - 4,776,509

UK

Black Ops 2 (360), 8 Weeks of data - 1,698,402
Halo 4, 9 Weeks of data - 803,432

Worldwide

Black Ops 2 (360), 7 Weeks of data - 11,212,775
Black Ops 2 (PS3), 7 Weeks of data - 9,219,827
Halo 4, 8 Weeks of data - 7,387,969

In short, Halo isnt even in the same league as Call of Duty.

Didn't you just make a thread saying these numbers are wrong?

This. CoD is the WoW of shooters. Halo has a pretty stable fanbase, but I doubt it will grow any bigger. There is no sign that points towards that. CoD might get smaller, but not Halo small.
