Yes. Halo 5 made less software revenue than Halo 3 or 4 (or else they wouldn't include hardware in the comparison). Halo 3 and 4 made ~300M FW on software. So Halo 5 made less than 300M in software alone. 

 

Xbox 360 owners played Halo 3 for 40M hours FW, Xbox One owners played Halo 5 for 21M hours FW. 

 

In UK, Halo 5 made 7.7M£ FW for software. Halo 3 made apparently more than 20M£ (from Neogaf). 

 

So, we know AT LEAST than Halo 5 sold less than Halo 3 FW, and we should start with this maximum evaluation : any evaluation leading to Halo 5 being the best selling entry in the series is wrong. 

 

And Halo 5 sold less than at least one third party game. Do we know what is the fastest selling game on Xbox One? Titanfall? Destiny? How much did it sell? It will give another maximum evaluation.

 

If we take the previous fastest selling One first party game sales, and the fastest selling 3rd game party sales, then we'll get two border stones. It will already be easier to discuss with that. 


Ive been saying the fastest selling exclusive is titanfall with 900k fw.on a 3.1m installbase

 

Didn't see that, thanks! 

 

So, 29% attach rate is surely the best one, and Halo 5 is below this 29% mark. Halo 5 < 5M confirmed, even if it's not a shocker, it's something ^^. 

 

900k seems low though, another should have done better. Do you know what Destiny sold FW on Xbox? Or TKK? I know Destiny sold 150k FW in UK...  That's surely the fastest selling game for the console. Or another game like FIFA or CoD last year? 


according to vgchartz fifa 15 sold 340k beating cod which sold 230k last year in the UK. Also mcc also sold around 900k when iot came out fw according to vgchartz.

edit- Vgacharts has destiny at 1.2million fw on x1.

NPD wont help for ww numbers but it would give us a good baseline.

using past VGC numbers for halo reach and halo 4 (assuming they are close to correct). USA+UK first week sales are roughly 70%-75% of first week sales. 

the majority of sales of halo 5 will be coming from the USA and UK anyways, since XB1 sales suck pretty much everywhere else. while we wont get the entire sales data, we will get a pretty solild picture of how it did.

Well x1 games have still been able to chart with like 40k in germany and france so most likely 50k for both.In japan it will sell 8k, But halo 4 sold 700k ww, Halo is big in place like NZ and AU

X1 has not sold 14 million units though so it does not matter the attach rate.

I understand more like "X number of Halo copies per console" were sold on launch day.

For example, Twilight Princess sold one copie per 2 Wiis on launch.

What assumptions should we be making about digital. It's the best selling digital game ever for ms.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

every bundle came with a digital code. and both LE editions came with a digital code. obviously, those had a lot to do with it. and its the first ever halo game to be available day one digital. 

but obviously some people still bought it digitally, but it wont be a crazy percentage like some people are wishing for. NPD will give us a good idea where the game is at. much better than this calcuation and people trying to make out its numbers from MS's PR.

But it will tell us all we really need to know.
