Okay, no offense but there's no way in hell Halo 5 sold upwards of 5 million first week.

Yes but... how many units sold?

It's as clear as trying to read the fine lines in the article lol

Lots of bitter sony fans as expected lol.

If MS is having to spin data about halo then it didn't sell as well as they hoped for.

...:

Ethomaz even in this thread:  

Halo 5 did flopped big now after these PR.

Even more than we expected.

400 million in revenue is a lot, even if it is a lot of bundles/or controllers/micro transactions, it shows that people spend a lot of money for Halo.

It's funny how people care mainly about units sold... like retail units are the only way a game can earn money... if a game sells console bundles that are more expensive than the regular console bundle then you need to congrats this game not the other way around. If a game makes you buy high priced controllers, special editions, attract new online payers etc etc then I'm sorry but you can't solely judge the success of said game only by it's units sold.

That release is worded for investors. Like it or not they really don't give a crap what an internet gaming forum thinks. BUT, no matter how you try and spin it those are bloody impressive numbers. even if you do something like make 200m of that consoles, that means 400,000 consoles at $500 a piece and still leaves 200m to provide around 3 million copies sold. you can transfer some back and forth between those two but no matter what you end up with a bloody outstanding number for either hardware or software and most likely both.
