[SEGAvangelist]

Yeah.

So confused.

 

[Patapwn]

Oh, shit, less than 1.5M? Ayyy.

CosmicQueso, now I know why you asked me that.

Halo is dad.

Halo is granddad my he RIP in peace.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Right now the Y2Kev Quote square on the bingo card is completely scratched off and the table underneath. Y2Kev.... you rock!

 

[RealityPales]

Finding actual, accurate insight in this thread is like trying to find a bride in a brothel.

 

[Rymuth]

This back and forth between Kev and Queso.

Trolling and counter-trolling.

My emotions!

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Yeah.

Cosmic doing Y2Kev style now. I give up, I'll wait for the cold hard facts.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

They don't care about numbers any more.
Halo was the most profitable Halo ever.
This is all that counts.
Sales numbers are so 2014.

Of course it's the most profitable when you add in consoles sales .

 

[Kill3r7]

Yeah.

So Halo is not number 1?

 

[CosmicQueso]

Yeah, I'm gonna wait for official results. You guys are fucking crazy!

It is one interesting month.

 

[Primethius]

Cloud in Smash?

Finally some actual megatons.

 

[wachie]

lol... what's going on here

so Halo <1.5? or trolling again?

like a fiddle

 

[PJV3]

Yeah.

Nice, Im gonna put the kettle on and grab a few biccies.

 

[RedAssedApe]

so no spin
but expect meltdowns

got it. lol

 

[foxbeldin]

Yeah.

Release the bunkers !

 

[orochi91]

So basically:

XB1 > PS4

Halo 5 < 1500K

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Please, stop with those jokes >_<

Cloud in Smash?

Finally some actual megatons.

This, haha.

 

[Jawbreaker]

More Emotion™ than a David Cage game in this thread.

 

[B.O.O.M]

The results are in, Halo 5....YOU ARE THE DAD!

Xbone, you are NOT Dad! #2easy

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

They don't care about numbers any more.
Halo was the most profitable Halo ever.
This is all that counts.
Sales numbers are so 2014.

Profit? As far as I know, they were talking revenue, and that included hardware for the first time.

 

[N.Domixis]

Can we stop the trolling. If I were a mod is ban everyone who posted in this thread from page 1 to now.

 

[Javin98]

It is one interesting month.

Damn it, Cosmic, you hinted at a Microsoft win and now you're reassuring us it's interesting. Only way it's interesting now is if Microsoft wins big.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

You were the chosen one, PS4. I am disappointed in you.

 

[Y2Kev]

~~~~ <---- heat coming off due to meltdown

 

[allan-bh]

So basically:

XB1 > PS4

Halo 5 < 1500K

I don't think this is meltdown after Halo 5 number in UK.

 

[3rdamention]

It is one interesting month.

This is fun

 

[Tubie]

Less than 1.5m?

That can't be.

I refuse to believe it.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Yeah no shock about MS winning. You had months of bundle pre-orders going. I had the 150k gap as my prediction so I think I'll stick with that. I may a big OL' PlayStation homer but this was too obvious

 

[zsynqx]

Finding actual, accurate insight in this thread is like trying to find a bride in a brothel.

Don't Sully the conversation with such smut.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Let me break it down...

HW - No huge surprises, not on prediction, but not too shocking. Pies will tell the tale, it's boring.

SW - Metldown city. Not so much in rankings, although there are definite surprises. But the numbers, Mason. The numbers.

 

[orochi91]

You were the chosen one, PS4. I am disappointed in you.

Sony was playing it too safe with that $50 cut.

 

[slavesnyder]

$350 is doing great for them and they have amazing bundles to help them in the holiday season. Sony will sell as many PS4's as they can produce this holiday and both consoles will be $299 on BF. Don't see why Sony has to try harder at selling consoles when it still selling well.

They lost against an overpriced Halo bundle while having a price cut.
PS4 clearly has lost it's momentum.
Master Chief showed the way back to victory.

 

[Kar]

So in summary, Xbox One #1 seller, Halo 5 has (relatively?) disappointing sales.
GG.

 

[Alo0oy]

There won't be another Halo meltdown, we already had one in the UK sales thread. People already got it out of their system.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

[Mikey Jr.]

So basically:

XB1 > PS4

Halo 5 < 1500K

Essentially this. What we know so far.

 

[Pranay]

How did less then 1500 k come from ?

 

[B.O.O.M]

Can we stop the trolling. If I were a mod is ban everyone who posted in this thread from page 1 to now.

But that would include u too tho

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Including you, presumably?

 

[Boke1879]

Sony was playing it too safe with that $50 cut.

Or maybe Sony wasn't trying to win NPD. Seems they were positioning their console for the holidays and beyond in which they are in a strong position.

 

[psynergylover]

Kev and Queso why you doin this to us!?!?!?!?!

 

[orochi91]

Good point.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

HW - No huge surprises, not on prediction, but not too shocking. Pies will tell the tale, it's boring.

SW - Metldown city. Not so much in rankings, although there are definite surprises. But the numbers, Mason. The numbers.

Shorter version:

HW - 7-10k difference

SW - Halo 5 < 1.5m

 

[Gadfly]

Ms win, halo > 1.5mm

Edit: only Microsoft spins like crazy when they lose so no spin means ms win, that is easy to figure out.

I think you have forgotten Sony's PR last gen.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

There won't be another Halo meltdown, we already had one in the UK sales thread.

Oh, -sensible chuckle- GAF is never out of meltdowns.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

lol think you guys reading too much into this.

I think they are just having fun, at least I hope. Though it does make me chuckle a little bit.

 

[Final Verdict]

How did you think it would do? It used to do double that.

Halo 5 did > 1.5m on NPD?
How much did Halo 4 do it's first week?

Because if we just compare the first month of NPD for Halo 4 to Halo 5 then it wouldn't be fair as Halo 4 had more time it's first NPD (plus the fact that November has BF).

 

[Alo0oy]

HW - No huge surprises, not on prediction, but not too shocking. Pies will tell the tale, it's boring.

SW - Metldown city. Not so much in rankings, although there are definite surprises. But the numbers, Mason. The numbers.

A lot of people here predicted Halo would sell around 1.5 million (with the UK being little America and all), so there must be something else, AC: Syndicate over-performed?

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Shorter version:

HW - 7-10k difference

SW - Halo 5 < 1.5m

I would say the hardware gap would be 25k but even then that is no big deal .

 

[plasmawave]

[VinFTW]

I'll be pretty butthurt if Halo 5 performs under expectations. I have no doubt it will continue to sell for a long, long time and still sell up to expectations in that regard, but still.

It's the best (or 2nd best) MP to date, IMO, it deserves to sell well.
