I thought it referred to 2016, but it seems in English, this cannot refer to "next year" like in Spanish. 7+3M is mainline Halo lifetime sales and stacks up nicely against other games, so that was easier to digest for me...

But for this year I see it at 4.5M...

 

^ this.  Whn talking about digital sales, same rule should b applied to all games.  (Unless a game has a incredible online deal that would cause most players to buy it digital instead)

Higher digital attach rates for the XONE help, so I am willing to up the stakes to one third instead.

 

Lol? Where did you get that Xbox One has higher digital attach rates than the PS4? Are you just making this up to downplay PS4 sales? That's what it seems like.

I would like to know where this "fact" came from also.

A couple of crazy facts about digital spending;

  • Amazon top 3 selling gaming items for the year are PSN cards.
  • The top 20 for 2015 contains 6 PSN vouchers = $290
  • The XB1 has 3 vouchers in the top 20 for 2015 = $95
  • In the Gaming Digital hourly charts, 9 PS4 games show up before the first XB1 game at 42nd (Halo 5)

Make of it what you will!

How does this downplay PS4 digital attach rates. Typical "take a side" mentality. They think of this as a zero sum game where there can only exist one winner and the other is a loser. I had a chart somewhere for them...

Are Halo 5 and Gears Ultimate among those? I also better point out that Amazon is not where we purchase our digital games. We prefer our own digital service, especially with Games and Deals with Gold lowering prices...

Oh, found the link...

You were basically saying that PS4 has a lower attach rate than 20% and so the game sales the other guy calculated are lower and thus not as close to Halo 5, ie downplaying the sales.

And If I'm not mistaken CEA only covers America, not the whole world. And CEA is just market research, not a fact.

EDIT: Wait, that article doesn't even align with what other companies have been saying. Most say 20%, but CEA is saying 50-60%. That's a huge difference.

This was hardly likely, since only one Halo has ever managed this and the series has clearly lost the interest of the masses, it's not even managed 3M according to the latest VG Chartz and past Halo games have achieved that in their 1st week.
I previously thought that Halo 5 may manage to do 8 million lifetime, but I kinda doubt that this game will even do this 7.3M by the end of the generation, unless MS gives it away with every XB1 they sell for the next year or maybe do it as an XBL gold game at some point and then count that as sales.

PS has higher Digital rates then XB. So the higher digital ratio should go to Sony's franchises.

PS4 alone 43%> 37% Xbox 360+ Xbox One

That statistic makes sense if it is counting number of people who bought at least one game digitally for the console.

It says 'Digital Download Attachment Rates' which is far from attachment rate of individual game titles. It is likely that it only looks for amount of people who buys at least one game digitally.

Xbox fans previously always claimed these type of games aren't "free". So of course they would count as "sales"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
