Halo comes in 5 days and zero commercials so far in America... Sad. 5 days before cod released if seen at least 15-20 commercials for it.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Maybe they don't wanna clash with COD. Adverts should start this weekend I think, if MS don't advertise then .... goodness that would be a dumb move.

Halo 5 needs a custom console, not a white one ;P

Pre orders up, Halo MCC undertracked again!


Halo 5 edition Xbox 1 Slim... that would sell stupid amounts, i'd get one for sure.

WW? I'll take a shot.

Week ending 8th - (COD, Bundle releases) - 350k (230k US)
Week ending 15th - (Halo & Assassins Creed) - 300k
Week ending 22nd - (GTAV, Far Cry 4 and Minecraft retail) - 260k
Week ending 29th - (Black Friday) - 650k

Part of me feels I'm undershooting the 8th tho, COD + those bundles with the price cut .... gotta be bonkers in the US.

Yeah, I feel like you're a bit low for the week of the 8th, I think it'll be 400k+. Otherwise it looks pretty solid to me.

It's incredibly hard to put a number on it. Shall wait and see what VGC and NPD bring. Exciting tho!!

I think it is a very wise move to not advertise Halo yet. Keep letting COD bring in those new XB1 customers, then in a few weeks start advertising Halo like crazy before black friday and throughout the xmas season. COD is selling XB1's at the moment, but Halo will sustain XB1 sales.

Don't forget AC Unity and The Crew, MS has the marketing rights to those as well. Oddly enough I've been seeing more ads for both of them than I have for Halo: MCC, and The Crew doesn't release until the first week of December.

Thought Crew was 2015!

I was playing on my 360, I'm guessing the live problem is just on the XBO?

Live is up now, got another update, although that may be due to me being in the preview program.
