Halo 5 sales are terrible considering the history of the franchise.

Halo 5 935k, realy ? Only that ? Thats not counting bundles right ?

That's counting bundles.

Source?

 

20-25% of all slaes on the consoles are now digital, higher for games though to be long-term purchases.

If even 20% is digital (I'd imagine that number is higher given where the online code was charting on retail sites like Amazon and anecdotal reports, as people wanted immediate acces thorugh preorder/preloads.

So that pushes it to 1.3 million-ish in the first four days.  That's still pretty darn strong.

Source?

You do know that one game being 20% does not mean that the bar has been set at a 20% minimum and thus you can't just assume that every game gets 20% or more... right?

It's funny because NeoGAF made fun of VGC for the Uncharted Collection numbers saying we had it way undertracked and it turns out we have it way overtracked at least in the US. They're so ignorant XD

Yes, I know, I just pointed out that 20% is pretty realistic estimate. 

Btw, also found this http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/14/analyst-digital-makes-up-as-much-as-25-of-total-game-sales/

Aware of that. 20% is pretty much high end. I want the source that says digital is between 20-25%.
