This is fair comment. Remind people of this if they start dividing the figures quoted by $50 per copy or whatever.

Dawg told me Halo is dead
He actually meant that Halo was father.

it all comes to down to money either way.
Game is the best multiplayer since 2/3. 343 really brought it this time.

Even if it's 2 million, or hell 2.5 million, it's not "nice" to show that you sold less, even taking into account the install base.
PR is all about doubling down on your wins and not imply any losses at all.
Yeah, absolutely!
That is amazing if it says what I think it does.

This is amazing PR. Expected nothing less from MS.
I had to laugh a bit about the PR. Revenue from Software and Hardware... How about talking about sales?
Lol, agreed.
Smart PR, likely covering for lacklustre sales relative to other mainline Halo launches.
Amazing news! By games and hardware though, do they mean they're including revenue from the Halo console, controller, and other branded merchandise?
Either way I just want to be sure they're happy with it and that the game is profitable. If Halo continues and nobody loses their job, that's all that matters to me

Yeah, it's pretty deceptive.

This.
Otherwise there shouldn't be any "hardware" in that sentence.
Really, it's one of the best PR spin I ever saw. Genius, as I said.

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
Ya, they are hiding number and bragging about revenue. How many games have a $500 version? This is fine PR.
Seems like they are including the revenue from that stuff. which is pretty funny.
They're including hardware and software sales in that PR.
The game itself isn't selling as much relative to prior mainline entries in the series, at least in the UK (XB1's number 2 biggest territory).
Microsoft continuing to bring their A game to PR. Well no matter it seemed to have sold well if my friends list is anything to go by.

To be fair, it's basically a compliment towards whomever comes up with the official statements. They do a masterful job.
boiled goose
good with gravy
Surprised it would beat 3...
I noticed this too. Microsoft PR doing good.
More likely.
I wonder, does it include Halo themed hoodies and boxer shorts?

What the hell is Halo 5 "hardware"?

What were the XB1 numbers WW when Titanfall launched? I know it was around 2.5 mil in the U.S putting it's NPD attach rate at about 40%.
If it was 4 million, that would break records and they'd be shouting from the rooftops about that number.

Still nothing on sales, but it looks like Microsoft is happy with the money Halo 5 is bringing in.
I would assume the bundle and there was also the Halo themed controller.

console, controller, any other halo brand xbox accessories, etc

The console bundle and possibly the controllers.
Most certainly.
If they're talking revenue, and including hardware sales too, then microtransaction would be counted in the software portion.
GAF isn't a person. Fuck outta here.
