1M Halo 5 would kind of be a disaster.

But don't forget about XBL engagement stats!

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Titanfall sold 865k, so based in UK sales I don't doubt that for standalone sales in 5 days.

To be fair, it sold over 1.08 million including bundle.

But yeah, it sold those numbers in 4 weeks.

 

[super6646]

1 million for Halo 5? Thats a disaster, yes it is. I thought it was 1.5 million w/o bundle's or digital.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

IF that was the case and it wasn't Kev having fun

It would be catastrophic level sales. We would be talking like a 60% decline game over game

As a franchise, yea. Especially one such as Halo. But that's still good by today's standards for video game sales, no?

 

[mejin]

1M Halo 5?? For those who asked what's a massive shock...there it is.

 

[Welfare]

Don't forget about Ass Creed, guys.

Not really no. We have had multiple games launch over 1 million this year alone. Its kinda standard for a big AAA game to at least hit that

How did previous entries fare?

Well then. lol I don't know.

By the way, do you ever say your username aloud when playing games? I'd totally say it if I was playing Call of Duty multiplayer. My username is TackyTactics, so people usually say my name for me when they curse me out. "You Tacky fuck. TackyTactics mother fucker."

 

[plasmawave]

It went from Xbox won October to Halo 5 sold terribly in no time.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Don't forget about Ass Creed, guys.

more fun to speculate something that would cause more drama

How did previous entries fare?

Halo 3 looks like it sold 3.3 million in the first two weeks of release? Reach and Halo 4 all sold worse iirc

 

[Hoo-doo]

Kev has you all chasing your own fucking tails.

He could poop out three completely random words and this thread would dissect every letter with surgical precision.

 

[Elandyll]

How did previous entries fare?

Main line, 3.1 - 3.3m not including bundles.

edit: After the UK results (and the rise of digital) I am expecting about 1.8-2m. Anything 1.5 and below would be a shock imo.

 

[Gurish]

It really depends, if MS moved lots of XB1 than obviously H5 sold great in bundles, so 1 m wouldn't be bad in this context.

 

[DarthWalden]

Main line, 3.1 - 3.3m not including bundles.

I expected a drop for sure but that is shockingly huge.

 

[borghe]

Main line, 3.1 - 3.3m not including bundles.

again, people are NOT taking into account US install base CLEARLY.

So people actually expect H5 to sell to 36% of the US XBONE owners in the first 5 days? C'mon people.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Don't forget about Ass Creed, guys.

No way it sold 1 million. Not even Unity sold those numbers, with 3 weeks, and with Black Friday.

 

[Obliterator]

I have a feeling he is loving this and having a blast. I know I would be.

That's why I refuse to accept the random one million number to be Halo. I don't think its hugely over that but a decent amount more. Like I said, I stand by 1.5ish. Basically 1.3 - 1.6

 

[Dash_Riprock]

1 million Halo is a disaster like Amazing Spider-Man 2: it did well, but nowhere near what was expected.

This is hitting Carnival of Stupid levels, friends.

So we should all go to medical school, is what you're saying.

Halo 3 did 3.3 with a -SMALLER- install base, and the Halo fanbase has then stayed (relatively) stable.

For clarification, Kev is pulling chains btw.

how many 360s were sold when Halo 3 went out? pretty sure it was smaller install base than the xbone.

 

[wachie]

Can we get some admins in here to mod the mods?

We got a badass mother trucker over here.

 

[allan-bh]

how many 360s were sold when Halo 3 went out?

More than 6.7m including 527k sold in september 2007 alone.

 

[Shenmue]

Titanfall sold 865k, so based in UK sales I don't doubt that for standalone sales in 5 days.

It's bad if we're comparing titanfall to halo.

Digital Sales

Highest Selling Halo game Digitally for the Month of October



I still think XboxWon

 

[theprodigy]

No way it sold 1 million. Not even Unity sold those numbers, with 3 weeks, and with Black Friday.

to be fair that's partly because Unity was bundled in nearly every Xbox One

This is true. We already know for every 1 retail purchase 9 friends buy digitally and share the game's license.

 

[DoubleTake]

Wait why is this thread so wired. Was something hinted at?

 

[Tubie]

Omg this is already amazing.

I can't believe how many of you are taking Y2Kev seriously!

 

[Ryng_tolu]

yeah, that's true, but still, i really don't see Syndacate even close with one million.

 

[Kill3r7]

Halo 3 had an incredible attach rate. That said, anything below half of Halo 3 sales figures would have to be a pretty poor showing for Halo 5.

 

[cebri.one]

One million

Haha, you are the master of evil.

[wtshaolin]

I wouldn't even be in this thread if I was home, where I could play Halo, Blops 3, Tomb Raider, NBA, FIFA, Fallout or Battlefront on EA Access, but since I'm sitting on a toilet at work...

 

[allan-bh]

It's bad if we're comparing titanfall to halo.

Titanfall sold 125k in first week in UK, Halo 150k.

So unfortunately for Microsoft the comparison makes sense.

 

[Elandyll]

What if ... neither of them is happy with October's results?

Maybe Xbox won by a slight margin, say about 7-10k (Sony not being too happy that their price drop didn't get them the month), but MS is unhappy with both the small margin -and- Halo SW sales overall?

Mmmh.

 

[VinFTW]

7-10k

-_______________-

Iseewhatyoudidthere

 

[Bolivar687]

Please tell me people are not debating potential Halo 5 attach rates as compared against historical precedent based on Y2Kev posting "One million"

I swear I'm on the verge of bursting out laughing at work like a total maniac over here

 

[borghe]

Halo 3 did 3.3 with a -SMALLER- install base, and the Halo fanbase has then stayed (relatively) stable.

For clarification, Kev is pulling chains btw.

actually looking it up, it would seem 360 was around the same install base (~9M give or take?)

but still, take away the strength of the brand from where it was for 3, and then include digital and bundles...

who knows.. maybe you're right and he's just fucking with us.

 

[CosmicQueso]

I'm predicting some harsh reality will be dropped on the Halo diehards today.

EDIT: I KNOW NOTHING. Just a prediction. You guys are ready to rock though. I like the energy.

I'm predicting a harsh reality will be dropped on the lunatics spelling doom and gloom for Halo based off vague posts

LOL. Okay, friend.

 

[allan-bh]

I'm predicting some harsh reality will be dropped on the Halo diehards today.

OH MY.

 

[Graphics Horse]

One million

Total units of hardware

Wait, is this some kind of insider? New to NPD threads.

Is this taking bundles into account?
