Clever. One bundle as "500 USD in Halo hardware sales." We really need dome hard numbers...

Bundles, controlers, everything. MS are really good at this.


Or are they?

Whoever wrote that, deserves to be paid more than what he's being paid right now.

Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay, including 12 million hours in campaign mode alone. The widely praised multiplayer modes have also led to nine million total hours played with nearly seven million multiplayer matches played across Arena and the all-new Warzone mode. In addition, Halo fans are taking to the new Requisition System in a big way, with over 45 million REQ Packs acquired, totaling more than 568 million REQ Cards.

*Groan*

12 million hours of campaign mode? 45 million REQ Packs? This was not the data I was looking for.

 

[Primethius]

What were the WW numbers for XB1 during Titanfall launch? Can't we get a decent estimation of the attach rate from that?

^ This is on the assumption that Titanfall probably had the highest week one attach rate of an XB1 title not first party.

Did they register a trademark for it?

Good question. Unfortunately they were pretty tight lipped in Titanfall figures so I'm not sure we actually know.

Right. They explicitely say first party. So there must have been at least (!) one third party who beat it.
What was best first party so far? MCC?

IIRC estimates had it around 4M+.

 

[Primethius]

Ah okay. All I can see is PR stating they shipped 5 million.

Right. They explicitely say first party. So there must have been at least one third party who beat it.
Also: just day 1.

Day 1? Doesn't the PR release say week one attach rate?

 

[RexNovis]

Ah okay. All I can see is PR stating they shipped 5 million.

I thought the 5 million was unique users or something. AFAIK we never got any shipped numbers or sales figures for the game at all.

 

[slavesnyder]

Ah okay. All I can see is PR stating they shipped 5 million.



Day 1? Doesn't the PR release say week one attach rate?

Week one. You are right. Edited it. Thanks.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Well, this PR was kinda expect... now, i wanna see the sales numbers.

 

[Kill3r7]

I thought the 5 million was unique users or something. AFAIK we never got any shipped numbers or sales figures for the game at all.

Someone could go and add up the NPD and PAL numbers to get a pretty decent estimate of sales figures.

 

[Ghost Rider]

it specifically says Xbox One exclusive; does that count out Titanfall because of the 360 version?

 

[wapplew]

*Groan*

12 million hours of campaign mode? 45 million REQ Packs? This was not the data I was looking for.

45m REG packs! if 10% of that was real money purchase, it's over 4m dollar income, cha ching!
Save to say every halo game foward will have REG pack.

 

[Primethius]

I thought the 5 million was unique users or something. AFAIK we never got any shipped numbers or sales figures for the game at all.

You're probably right. I was just quickly googling around some information without really checking too deeply into it.

 

[piccio_ssl]

holy crap

Due to the crowd funding enabled through the “Halo 5: Guardians” REQ System, the overall prize pool has reached $1.5 million and continues to grow daily.

 

[slavesnyder]

Nice thread about the PR statement started.
The magic of spin seems to work.

It always does.

 

[foxbeldin]

It always does.

Otherwise they wouldn't do it.

 

[Kill3r7]

Titanfall 360 did not launch at the same time as the X1 version. Plus if you add the 360 numbers the attach rate would plummet.

 

[Alo0oy]

I don't think MCC was the highest first week tie ratio, the first week ratio for that game probably wasn't higher than 10%. Forza 5 was bundle fodder around launch time, so maybe it was that.

It should be >2 million WW though,

 

[crinale]

So no one here could predict what Microsoft would say. MS wins again!

We did anticipate the hardware being counted in. ^^

actually one user predicted

 

[slavesnyder]

Titanfall was 3rd party. Doesn't qualify.
So halo could be below.

Does anyone know what percentage of the REQ pack proceeds goes towards the prize pools for the Halo Championship Series?

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Too true. xP

 

[Javin98]

LOL, I gotta leave that PR thread to save my sanity. Amazing how quite a few posters are falling for it.

Bahahahaha what? Unless I'm mistaken it is the ONLY XB1 exclusive FPS of 2015. Holy shit MS. Fucking shameless.

 

[slavesnyder]

If you would predict such wording for official PR, they would say you are joking.

 

[crazyprac]

Ummm I had the xbone to win this month... But I'm not so sure anymore. I really thought halo will push hardware being their main franchise. With that pr spin, I'm having doubts.

 

[BadWolf]

Bahahahaha what? Unless I'm mistaken it is the ONLY XB1 exclusive FPS of 2015. Holy shit MS. Fucking shameless.

This is too good.

 

[Conduit]

LOL! I gave a prediction a day earlier.

 

[N.Domixis]

Bahahahaha what? Unless I'm mistaken it is the ONLY XB1 exclusive FPS of 2015. Holy shit MS. Fucking shameless.

They for got to also say it broke record

Spoiler

for lowest scoring mainline halo on xbox lol

Anyways, if this halo game had the highest attach rate does that mean it wasn't as big of a system seller? Seems like a lot of xbox fans did indeed have x boxes already?

 

[Primethius]

Something that surprised me is that nothing in the PR mentioned anything about how the game boosted console sales to win the week or the like.

Admission of defeat or saving it up for the NPD release, I can't decide.

 

[Elandyll]

Masterful...

 

[spatenfloot]

*Groan*

12 million hours of campaign mode? 45 million REQ Packs? This was not the data I was looking for.

Well, if the campaign is 4-6 hours long, that means total sales between 2-3 million.

My thoughts exactly. I was expecting "XB1 was the best selling console during Halo week", like I mentioned earlier.

They would have bragged if it did push xb1 past ps4 for the week. Just like they did during e3 or something.

 

[Alo0oy]

Even if PS4 wins October, I still think XB1 sold better in Halo week, even if MS doesn't announce it.

Gosh, thanks.

This was still not the data I'm looking for.

I mean, this should be a given... Is not?

 

[crazyprac]

Lol...

 

[theprodigy]

Well, since I always love to play the PR Guessing game, I would assume they would have said this, OR I assume they will. There are plenty of good things to say!!




"The end of October, we celebrated the launch of the highly anticipated, best selling franchise Halo 5, with you our fans. Halo 5 debuted with the biggest launch of any Xbox Exclusive game in the history of the Xbox One. XBL users showed continued growth as they logged more minutes online with Halo 5 than any other Xbox Game. The Halo Limited Edition Bundle was the highest selling Xbox system for the month of October. But, we are not done. This Holiday Season, we will continue to release more titles from the Greatest Lineup in Xbox History, proving once again, the Xbox One is the "best place to play" this Holiday."

man, you thought you could do better than the actual PR didn't you

 

[wapplew]

So, by breaking record or biggest Halo launch, did they compare all Halo software and hardware numbers or only compare to pass Halo software sale?

Question, how many Xbox One exclusive first person shooters released in 2015?


Serious question, my spin detector is, well, spinning...

I still refuse to believe XBO loses this month. It's Halo damnit!
