I don't know about you but I wouldn't count reports of poor retail sales at face value... Most XBO owners and especially halo fans bought it online no doubt about it... It's not a game you resell until the next one come and by then it's worthless on the second hand market.... So yeah pretty sure halo 5 will beat global sales of 4 in attached rate even in the UK... Actually everywhere, no doubt about it... And since when ethomaz says anything right about XBO???


LOL again witht e digital nonsense...15-20% max digital and thats being generous..... EA says they are around 20% digital on all their titles and thats with their on digital service in origin.......Stop trying to make Halo to be some golden boy who is different then every other game when it comes to digital. Why would more peopel buy halo over GTA, COD, destiny or any other big game digitally?

"Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay"
Why is this number so low?

If any of you Halo players here can make a short summary of how many hours you played alone/with your friends on the average? I'd guess that within the first days, you'd have played 10-20 hours each so that would point to 1-2mio Halos sold?

 

er... zero multiplayer and about 25 mins campaign.  People have lives and jobs you know.  I'll get into it sometime next week when time allows.

$400m  the only metric that matters


All of a sudden sales don't matter?  Some epic goal post moving here.... Without sales there is no profit or revenue...and no this is NOT the only metric that matters. How convenient it is the only number you care about now. This tells us nothing, they also included all hardware, req packs into this figure, and previosu halos they never to make it look better. Profit is more important then revenue, this is a meaningless figure without context.

 

Sales are critical, uyou think MS is ignoring Halo sales are down 60-70%? You don't think a company looks and cares about that? Please, it's a huge metric.

Yes they did, Halo 4 and Reach already surpassed 10 million with digital included.

Source?

No source needed, in fact just look at Halo 3 when MS announced sales for it. The last announcement for Halo 3 sales was 14.5 million but before that it was 8.1 million. Notice that MS didn't announce 10 million when it reach that mark? They could be doing the same thing for Reach and 4.
