Discussing sales / = downplaying. God that argument gets old.
So, Halo 5 software + hardware > Halo 4 software + hardware?
Is that why CS:GO has 70K viewers at the moment compared to 4K for Halo 5?
Even Destiny as 12K viewers.
Twitch seems like it's constantly dominated by the same collection of eSports titles, though. Do major AAA releases typically stake out a spot in that top ten list?
You can downplay anything if you try hard enough.
That's interesting! Never would of thought it'd clock lower than H4, but I'm presuming thats install base at the time?There is one stat we can compare with Halo 3 / Halo 4.
Halo 3 "Within the first day of its launch, “Halo 3” players worldwide racked up more than 3.6 million hours of online gameplay, which increased more than elevenfold to 40 million hours by the end of the first week,"
40 million hours in first week for Halo 3
Halo 4 "with over 4 million players in the first five days. Users spent a total of 31.4 million hours playing “Halo 4,”
31.4 million hours in first week for Halo 4
Halo 5 "Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay, including 12 million hours in campaign mode alone."
21 million hours in the first week for Halo 5
You can see how the activity dropped from the releases... almost half of Halo 3 and Halo 3 activity was sp focused.
It was not me... a friends showed thatThat.......is a good catch actually

That might have more to do with CS:GO being popular overseas and the act that everyone (well most of us) in the US is at work or school right now.

CSGO and destiny are pretty bigFPS's don't draw the big twitch numbers brother. Not much interactivity

Destiny????CSGO is a beast, I meant that MOBA's, 3rd persons, rpg's usually get more attention, FPS streams tick off after launch usually.
Hmm, been following Halo 5 on twitch since the pre-release and it is hovering around 3K to 11K views, mostly outside the top 10. Not sure what it says about the game, whether it's the viewers or the twitch streamers that just don't like it as much as the hype want's you to believe.
Halo 5 was campaign mode only, you really think MS PR give you numbers that you can compare?

Title said smashes record and it only fair if the previous record was software + hardware right?
I assume MS know how much software + hardware Halo 4 did and Halo 5 beat it and get the biggest launch conclusion?

So is it saying it's the best selling XB1 game but not necessarily the best selling Halo game? Putting hardware in there leads me to believe so.
Excellent data.
This is a good indicator of what to expect NPD day with regards to leaked Halo 5 sales.
In the xbox one thee is a list called "Top Played" I not sure if they are current connected users, but Halo 5 has been on top ever since release, note that this list acts accordingly with the top games played, Destiny was number one and GTAV number two before Halo 5, and I bet my life savings that BOPS 3 will take number 1 as soon as it get released.
However, are those three numbers all being measured over the same period of time?Good catch. The only thing that can really be compared so far.

What was it's biggest competition? Forza 6?With the highest week one attach rate for a Microsoft first party title on Xbox One
Fair is not a requirement in PR.
Not surprising at all. LOL at the people who actually though halo 5 did poorly, smh
If they are counting consoles too someone deserves a raise. Thats genius.
However, are those three numbers all being measured over the same period of time?
It's an interesting metric, just not sure if they're directly comparable.

Must be the Xbox One only streamers? And afaik they are part of the 11K number that I wrote.
EDIT: Most big streamers connect their Xbox/PS4 to their PC and stream through there.

Of course they were gonna find a metric by which they could say this.
Halo 3 did sold more than Halo 4 WW first week.This could be explained by Halo 5 having lower sales. Though Halo 4 being lower than Halo 3 is a weird one.
NPDs are going to be amazing. Great catch. Can't help but think it's indicative of a substantial decrease in sales, unless people are playing offline.
Dafuq is this sh*t MS!? Seriously? No real sales numbers? That just helps what naysayers are spinning. And round and round we go. Dam.One week after launching worldwide, Halo 5: Guardians has made history as the biggest Halo launch and fastest-selling Xbox One exclusive game to-date, with more than $400 million in global sales of Halo 5: Guardians games and hardware, pushing the franchise to over $5 billion lifetime.
Five days for all... first week... the PR was the same time period.However, are those three numbers all being measured over the same period of time?

I thin you confused what I was saying, Im sorry, I wasnt talking about actual people streaming the game, rather the amount of people playing the game. Halo never been big in stream as far as I can remember.
