I think you need to fix the title like they did with my title in previous thread.

DAT spin and thread titles.

I dunno about how that sentence works with English grammar, but I think the comma indicates it's the highest rated Xbox One exclusive and the highest rated FPS of 2015, not the highest rated XB1 exclusive FPS of 2015.


Forza 6 is ratred higher than halo 5

Where's all those goons from ethomaz's thread now?

Read the article there is no record in sales except these for Xbone one like highest attache rate lol

Spin at the best.

Halo 5 Hadware + Software did more than previous Halo software lol
DAT $500 Halo 5 bundle... you need almost 10 games sold to reach this revenue.

The numbers are so low.

MS has been doing this PR for a while, last time I knew those games still sold well. No units for any of those PR statements


So... Halo 3 made 300 millions FW, and Halo 4 220 on release date. SOFTWARE. Halo 5 made 400 Software AND Hardware. And 1 $500 Bundle > 8 $60 Bundles, plus controllers, headsets and microtransactions.

 

Pretty sure Halo 5 sold less than Halo 3 and 4 now.  


Shocker right there, who expected it to do more? H3 was the peak of Halo's popularity and H4 released on a huge installbase.

He can easily shield himself because that's what's written in the statement, not what he's saying

Nice start for an ambassador

Maybe zero will get a PC ambassador if not a mod..

Highest First Party attach rate. Everything is in the wording.

Not a shocker for me at all, the real question is : "what is the sales gap between Halo 5 and Halo 3?". No numbers.... 

 

This also confirms that Halo is losing popularity, so a lot of comments in the UK sales thread were right about it, even if others (even here) disagreed.

Is it so hard to just say "Congrats" these days? ; )

Was wondering this myself.

Congrats to MS! Sounds like a successful launch to me.

But but but...it's the slowest selling in the UK. It flopped. Halo is going downhill. It's already peaked!

Look at all the spin though..

does that include bundles and controllers?

LOL!! what a spin!! this is the ONLY FPS exclusive they have in 2015!!

very strong sales regardless. lets see how it performed in the USA once NPD comes. 

 

Sales wont be fantastic... but all the DLCs made them aton of money off of Halo.

Just making some weak maths.

200k Halo 5 Bundles = $100m (assuming all these bundles where sold in US because Euro is more expensive)

That alone down the record numbers to $300 million.

Now how many bundled controllers, limited editions, etc did it sold?

See how it works lol
