I doubt it. The game got almost no marketing in the US for some reason. And on top of that it's online has had a lot of problems. 950k or so fw is a little lower than I expected(about 200k for retail version) but I also didn't expect it to have so many issues at launch. And I also expected a decent marketing campaign. I've litterally seen 2 commercials for it, to compare I've probably seen 50 for COD (probably 10 since halo released too lol) and 5 for sunset overdrive.

anyway 950k plus approximately 200k for digital is 1.15 million and that's a lot better than cea did. Anyone expecting 2 million fw was being unrealalistic. I believe 1.75 was the max with a smooth launch and with good marketing.

Halo didn't need marketing campaign. It was the top pre-ordered game on BestBuy, Amazon,Gamestop and Walmart for almost a month.

It was one of the most streamed game 2 weeks from release on Twitch. It had coverage on IGN and Gamestop almost for the whole month.

Yeah mostly this

Well it needs marketing campaign but MCC was dominating charts it was selling more than COD: AW

Yeah exactly that, well it needs marketing but it was dominating charts like one hell monster

Amazon doesnt equal the world. But yeah it could be undertracked and wouldnt doubt it. BUt in the end its still great numbers and Amazon really isnt the only thing that matters

Ya it had a lot of online coverage but that probably only gets to 10-20% of the market. And every game no matter how big or small needs marketing. More marketing= more sales, less marketing= less sales. And a game like mcc needed marketing more than ever. Halo 4 for instance the casuals would know automatically that it's the next main game in the series. But with mcc(the mass are idiots) they needed to be told about all this awesome content, like all 4 games, about the differance between a remake and a remaster, about the 100 maps, about halo 5 beta. But they wernt told. More than likely ps4 fans were spreading crap and lieing to their friends about what was in it.

anyway it still did pretty good. Cea did 730k fw and 1.5million fw. Mcc did about 1.15 million(including digital) on a much smaller base and should do around 2.5 million this year. Possibly even more than that with the halo 5 beta.

Not only amazon it was dominating other store charts. It is for sure undertracked wait for NPD

I agree with what you say but MS needs games that push consoles other than Halo. Halo pushes a *uckton (US metrics) of consoles; however, in years and quarters where Halo is not available, Xbox will need games like SO, FH, COD, etc, to push consoles.

By heavily marketing Halo it will no doubt canibalize its future bread and butter.

499k so far this month in the US. Definitely looks like MS is tracking for 1m (should be 190k next week in US), 310k+ should be very doable for Black Friday.

But then we wait to see if it's accurate.

My friend just pointed this out to me but he said he isnt dloading Sunset Overdrive saturday because by the time it is dloaded he wont be able to play it because he will be in bed.  He has slow internet so for those people like him may not get to try it
