I've heard concrete information that Halo 5 launch numbers will be some of the lowest yet. Like 1.4-1.5M low. I'm willing to polygraph with an admin if need be, I've seen how inside information is dealt with here

Oh shit, that's really low if true.

If true, then it continues to cement how UK is truly mini-US, with NBA/Madden inversed with FIFA.

If true, it completely confuses me.

I'm sure a mod will be here soon to verify. If true. Yea that's definitely low for this series but good sales for a game.

Lets go!
I was gonna say, nowhere near as low as some of the doom-and-gloom predictions.

Why does this feel like some kind of sarcasm?
And yes, I want to see Ryng_Tolu to eat his/her PS4, no shame here (except that fucking tag

Is it because the proposed information doesn't sit well with you? Because I don't see how that comment can be taken as sarcasm in any way.

Those predictions were unrealistic. I remember MCC selling really strongly out-the-gate, not just for a remaster/port. The Halo brand is still really, really strong.
It's less sarcasm and more of an awareness that presenting information on here like it's true without evidence is an easy way to get hammered.

Chobel's avatar is the best. He's smart to be repping the best anime (in manga avatar form).
Yep -- and with MS' recent statement, 1.5 Million seems believable for copies sold.

Hopefully that info really is reliable. Dying for some Halo 5 numbers here to see how well it did.

THE mod took 7 minutes to appear. 7 gut wrenching minutes.
Holy shit.
And also on par with what we saw in the UK.
Probably around 1.8-2.0 once Digital is added (if info is correct and refers to retail only).
Low for a mainline Halo, very good by most standards.
Edit: okiiii then... 1.5 retail is half what a mainline used to do, on par with UK. With20-25% digital it ain't that bad, specially compared to your average AAA.
But that's Halo (and makes the PR more logical than if it had been a resounding smash hit).
Trust me. I'm a PhD

If this number is correct we can predict how many Halo 5 bundles were sold based on MS's statement about the revenue, can't we?
Well
Yeah I was thinking 2 Million combined too with digital in the mix. Very good but definitely not "Halo Heyday" level.

Wow. I hope you can give us some more juicy details too.
But man, it's sad to see Halo be looking at a potential 50% drop.

Called it. 5m LTD easy. But im sure fallout, star wars, and COD had a part in this. Aww......poor, poor Tomb Raider

I just adjusted my X1 prediction down a bit more.

probably only the retail units
Even if it's just retail, digital is 30% at the highest end possible. So ~1.8m-2.0m would be my guess.
Tomb Raider is already dad imo.
Unless it gets a suprise Universal Acclaim at 90%+ and excellent wom, in which case it could become a sleeper hit.
Somehow I don't see it though #shrug
making it the lowest selling entry in the series by a wide margin ( at least 1.3 million). Which is exactly what many of us were saying would happen.
