Why is this thread still open. By the OP's logic every PS3 exclusive is a flop.


Meaning the halo 4 community is bigger than their exclusives?

I'd like to see the figures there, I doubt you'd be far off.

I never played Halo multiplayer much, but as far as a campaign it was my favorite.

Rhetorical or no?

It's hard to draw conclusions about the quality of the online portion of a game just based on unique users that launched the game in a certain week.

I would like to see a ranking based on total hours of game time spent online for each game.

Well this is just a random week. The fact that Halo 4 even fell below Mw3 is alarming since it's unlikely to go back up. How has the DLC support been for this game? Did the first map pack release yet?

according to some definition on this site it would be a sales flop.

man do people try hard to find negative stuff about other consoles or games not part of their gaming world. yes modern warefare 3 has more players but many cod players buy only one cod every second year. halo is not a huge flop, cod is just a massive success.

Is that why Call of Duty keeps breaking records every year? Sorry but you're wrong.

It seems people are getting tired of the franchise getting milked. I remember Halo 3 was in the top 3 for a very long time. It even got back on top a couple of weeks after MW3 was released.


8m tired sales in 20 weeks.  If you aren't posting negative blogs on the next Xbox, which you seem to do almost every hour, you are in every other 360 thread downplaying.  It's getting boring. 

This isn't necessarily a sales discussion. Halo 4 sold well, I already mentioned that. People just aren't playing it online. For a game with 8m sales, it should be higher up on the charts. If you played COD you would know that when a new one releases, at least 50% of people move on to the new one.

You have some PSN activity charts to back up your claims? Many PS3 exclusives do flop, 2012 is proof of it. But they are sales flops, so naturally online communities aren't very big to begin with. What's Halo 4's excuse? Please stay on topic.

I doubt Microsoft cares with those sales figures.

They do though. This is their system seller. If they ruin Halo, what else do they have to make people choose Xbox over Playstation? Forza? Nope. Gears? That's going downhill too......at this point people are only paying for Xbox Live in order to play Call of Duty....someting they can play for free on the competition.

Why is Bioshock Infinite on the list? loool

Either way I don't think that makes it a flop. It may just mean a fair percent of Halo owners only really care about the single player. I touched the multiplayer a few times, theres nothing wrong with it, I'm just more of a single player guy.
