Not impressive numbers for Halo historically. Will be interesting to see where the next game is with competition getting bigger.

There is an important difference, MS overshipped, Nintendo didn't.

Splatoon gap in sales/shipments was 50k in japan, most likely barely over 300K WW. (which should still mean something like 3.75m WW)

We all know MS overship like crazy, there most likely over 1.5 million difference between sold and shipped, if not more.

Not to mention that Splatoon is almost for sure gonna be a NX thing at this point, so let's just be over this, even if for some miracle Halo 5 will outsell the Wii U version, no way it beat NX+Wii U combined.

Bullshit, they can only ship what retailers order. That argument might hold for the first month or so when retailers over estimate demand but they certainly won't continue that way for months post release.

Come on, man. No need for such assumptions.

You decided to pick my post for assuming? Nice cherry pick.

I don't see how this is an answer, but ok.

Considering people quickly made assumptions it was sold and not shipped? oh wait you were one of them who are you to talk?lol

Lol no.

Halo was never on firesale below 30 bucks.

A 30% overshipped game would be 19 or 10 already.

Do you have any proof to back up your redicolous claim?

because they generally don't release numbers for any of their games successful or or not. Occassionally they announce some big milestones, but they are the exception not the rule.
