On the note of the install base. Halo 4 sold around 10% of the 360s install base while halo 5 sold around 15% of the X1 install base as of dec 12th if we only include retail.

Finally! Someone understands!

But digital has had a big uptick this gen. Many people are only realizing this because of Halo's decline, but COD has suffered as well. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 did 9 million in the november NPD, Black Ops 3 only did 4.8 million. The sales have to be going somewhere. Obviously both franchises are seeing decline's, but a 25% attach rate seems reasonable. That would give Halo 5 a bit over 4 million by years end, still a decline, but not horrible. It could recover, and if it can do well with its legs, 7-8 million could be possible.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Gurl, no.

I had a feeling that the prediction was optimistic, but I didn't realize just how optimistic it was.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Since it is officially outperforming Halo 4 and that's WITHOUT digital, odds are it will outsell its predecessor...

It was a joke, unless they refer to this year, since I can see it reaching that number by year's end...

Halo 4 did over 7 million in its first year (2012) without digital. Halo 5 is on track to do 4 million with digital.

It's gamers were also 6 times more than they are now...

Yeah...but...you said it was outperforming Halo 4...it's not. It's way, way behind.

Outperforming as in performance, not sales. You can't expect 20 million Xbox One owners to buy what 80 million did...

You could easily get a job for PR at MS. You should apply.
