A true domestic cache.
Its because they are invisible legs. Dat stealth Camo! Spartan Locke has that shit on Lock. It's his damn name after all.
Sorry but, i am missing something?
Halo was at >1,300,000, and sold >365,000 in November... Now, November include the second week of the game and Black friday, so, seem very unlucky it sold more in December ( after a -65% MOM drop).
How the hell is Halo 5 at 2 million retail?
Maybe (probabily) including digital, but no way is at 2 million at retail.

If the fan reception of Halo 4 and MCC was stellar you could more easily compared the numbers like that. Sadly for MS H4 and MCC really hurt the Halo brand so Halo 5 selling less than previous games is nothing surprising.
Bahahaha hahahaha. I can't. I just can't even. Oh my sides. This is the hardest I've laughed in AGES! Oh this is gold.

I a
I appreciate the kinda real responces here. Ill answer them.
1. You cant compare the ps2s 15o million. The ps2 reached that from where it was by a long extention, which included a few more years, a price drop and another revision, the ps3 floundering, a ton of devs still sticking with it due to how quick the next gen jump was for a couple years, barely any 6th gen competition, which became Zero around 2oo7. You had also Online increase, addons, There are other factors as well, issues is the ps4 has none of those.At least so far, and its not VR.
2. No the argument was a guy said the Xb1 wont win one month this year, and I said it will likely win a month at least within the first 6 months of the year. You even considered it with QB as a maybe. I think the issues is you and others, due to being on Gaf so long, read defense of a console as a fanboy paragraph when I really couldnt care less. Just read it regularly.
3. You didint even read this, what does Xbox one has no games have to do with the 2o15 Holiday being worse for sales than the 2o14 holiday. When did the ps4 come in to the conversation, did you even read this, because none of what you wrote was said.
4. I didint say the ps4 had less or more of anything, drov the fanboy act and read the posts normally, I never attacked the vs4, and said the ps4 will win inevitably short of a miracle and you and a couple others are still changing my posts around to ones that were never made. Or you dont read the whole post and nitpick.

See this is the issue, nobody is reading posts regularly,t hey are reading it in anger as if I attacked their preferred piece of plastic, half the responses to my posts where about things I never said, where the hell did RETAIL come from for example and when did I make that statement. i never did.
I was talking LTD, thats all sales, i know this forum has a lot of retail exclusion arguments but thats not every member on the board.
Yes Ryng you are missing the magic fairy dust! Didn't you get the memo? Who needs facts when we can get high on our own imagination?!?! I mean it's not like this is a sales thread or anything!
This is what you said:
Yes I can't read so please clarify this post for me. When you say that "its safe to say it will be over 4 U.S. alone at minimum", what you mean is that consumers in the United States will purchase at least 4 million copies of Halo 5. If that is the case, the rest of the world would have to purchase 4 million copies of Halo 5 to reach your 8 million figure if we adopt the 4 million figure. Am I wrong in my reasoning here?
Even if I wasn't being a dickhead and adopted a figure of 5 million for lifetime Halo 5 sales in the United States, that would mean 3 million ROTW sales. Do you honestly think this is possible when the rest of the world has shown relative apathy towards the Xbox One?
As for charting, I don't see Halo 5 in December's Top 10 Sales list. In comparison to Halo 3, which stayed in 6th place with 742k sales and 4.82 million sales after four months, the trajectory of the Halo series is clearly downward. Halo 5 worldwide sales haven't even reached Halo 3's September launch sales in the USA alone and that's with the holiday season to help it. So everyone has no idea why you're thinking Halo 5 will have the same legs as the other Halo games when sales this year alone prove that it is no longer the big hitting series it used to be.

Regardless, you're still making wide assumptions on how much Halo 5 sold. Repetitive assertions won't make that 2 million figure any more true unless you show us how it's a plausible number, which you have failed to do. Blaming other people for your argumentative deficiencies also doesn't help you.
Nope only imaginary numbers so far. They're quite a bit of fun though.

No its your lack of reading comprehension unless you can show me where I said Retail RIGHT NOW brah. But you cant.
I am not the only one assuming LTD it may be around 2 million. In this very thread.

You still haven't proven that Halo 5 sold 2 million LTD. All you have been doing is making the same assertion over and over again. Argumentum ad nauseam is not a valid argument.

thread isn't going any shortage of overboard i see
Anyways, Halo 5 is pretty much done. Middle of the ground campaign. iffy mp again with maps that people cant really get into. Just isn't what the halo faithful want. No sense in going around and around with it anymore.

Why does it need any fairy dust to sell 20 million in a year? It sold 17.4 million in 2015 with "no games".
With the stacked lineup the PS4 has this year, you think it needs a miracle to sell 2.6 million more than last year?
I'm sure you think a bill with Lincoln's face on it is worth $5o.

The only thing we know conclusively is that they are lower then 635k as that is the number to break into the top 10. It's probably considerably lower then that, given November's numbers.
If I had to take a guess, I'd say that Halo 5 is sitting around 1.55 million retail in the U.S.

But the PS4 is no longer $4oo, and could be $3oo by the time VR hits.
(You have to be an alt, the temper tantrums sound too forced, lol.)
Shhhh don't poke the bear. He's sleeping now. I'm sure he'll dance for us again sometime soon.
He's probably still mad because Bish for shut down this argument he had with Raist.

And here I was, thinking we'd entered a new era of rational thought, shared information, a true Renaissance...
Good to see we can still keep it OG(af) style.
Anyways, awesome to think Splatoon vs Halo comparisons is an actual, real thing we are going to get to soon. What a world.

FIRST PART: CONFIRMED NUMBERS
Halo 5 confirmed sales are >1,665,000 including digital by end of November.
First month:
Withouth bundle: 842,000
Including bundle: 935,000
Including digital: 1,300,000
Second month, no idea of digital sales, but it sold 358,000 withouth bundle, and >365,000 including it.
So far, 0 info about December.
Digital sales were 28% first week, which is a very good ratio... but digital sales legs usually are way worse than retail sales, expecially during the holidays.
SECOND PART: GUESS / POSSIBLE SCENARIO
If we say digital sales ratio remain the same in November (28%), Halo 5 could sold >506,000 in November, which could mean a LT sales of >1,806,000.
Assuming it sold the same in December, Halo 5 could be >2,312,000.
Well, that's the best scenario in my opinion.
I think Halo 5 should be 2.1/ 2.2 million, because i think December sales were not at November sales, and digital ratio is well decreased.
But those are just random guess.

The "no games" in quotes wasn't attributed to you in any way (it's the common, completely misguided, internet consensus), but my 2 questions were for you.
