Forums - Microsoft Discussion - RUMOR: Halo 5 sold 1.4-1.5 Million in US

Mr Puggsly said:

Which Halo game did over 4 million? The biggest I've seen is just over 3.8. So 2.75 isn't half.

Also, the series is 14 years and still bigger then most 1st party IPs. I'm content with that as a fan of the series.

Halo 2, Halo 3, Reach and Halo 4 did over 4m WW.

Halo 5 flopped.

Well VGChartz isn't tracking them at a 4 million opening. Or maybe I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

Halo 5 "flopped"? You're using that word incorrectly. I think your bias has something to do with it.

That is why VGC is innacurate.

Halo 5 did less than 1 million in US... floped hard compared with previous games... there is no other word to describe how bad the sales are.



What? Did it really do less than 1 million? It can't have...

Oh, I'm certainly anticipating a decline. Again, its a 14 year old series. Gran Turismo's peak was on PS2 (GT6 "flopped"). CoD isn't hitting MW3 numbers anymore. I expect decline.

Its clear you're expecting (maybe hoping for) the worst, but I'm waitng to see the numbers.

The first gran turismo in a platform always does better then the second I believe. But honestly if Halo did indeed do less than 1 million fw in the US... That's a very, very big drop from the last entry. The writing has been on the wall though and there were a few of us that called it months ago.

But the drop GT6 had was massive. Even though other PS3 games at the time were selling very well.

People have been saying Halo was decling since ODST. If it has finally declined significantly, oh well.

Yes

So the thread have come full circle, and ethomaz busted by telling the truth but needing to be unpolite and rule breaker.
