Also, in UK, Halo 5 is dropped by 78% the second week.

It is US only these numbers.

Halo 3 did about 7m WW first year.

I know, i talk sbout US only. :D

3.3m first month, and 4.82m by end of 2007 in the US according to NPD.



It's crazy to even consider than Nintendo now have a shooter bigger than what Microsoft has.

It's a mixture of Splatoon coming in way above expectations and Halo 5 coming in way below.

I will play the devil's advocate here and say that shooters on the xbox has major competition. If you took battlefield, battlefront, call of duty, titanfall, destiny, warframe and many others off the xbox halo 5 would sell a shit ton more.

Having said all that it's still insane that this is even possible. Congrats Nintendo.

My whole point is, Halo 5 will still sell plenty of copies (that less than 1 million NPD isn't even confirmed btw) But hey, you're free to  keep hoping that Splatoon will outsell Halo 5.

Of course Halo will still sell some copies. I ever said it will not?

The problem is that it won't outsell Splatoon.

Nah, it will. Again you're free to believe in Splatoon selling more than Halo 5. And again that NPD number isn't even confirmed.

You're free to believe Halo 5 will outsell Splatoon too.

When is very, very unlucky, at this point. 

Look at this graph

Yeah, I've seen enough graphs in this thread, I don't need to look at anymore (especially from Youtube)

If we only count physical sales it's possible Splatoon will appear to sell more. But it seems Halo 5 digital sales are going to be unusually high, so I think with true sales Halo 5 will sell the most by a decent margin.

I also don't think Splatoon will get close to 5 million. If Wii U was going to get a 30 million end of life LTD then 5 million for Spaltoon would be on, but a sub 20 million Wii U, just not a big enough install base.


Yeah like 1mil, 2mil, 3mil, 4mil am I right :p

OT: I doubt it,  I think Splatoon will do around 5mil, halo around 7-8mil
