Not sold though, right?

Not hating or anything, but that's including downloads from GP?

The only thing that is certain is that 1 million was purchased prior to launch. The ratio of the purchase to GamePass for the additional 3.5 million is 🤷‍♂️

The game is great, but the title screen music is my favorite thing so far. I hope whoever wrote that got paid well.

And performance mode > quality mode.

I dont think this game will sell over 10 million copies. Not because it isnt a great game, it really is. But because of the nature of Microsoft's business model.

I think we all know it'll be just fine on its own merits until Halo: Infinite comes and takes all the fame & glory.

@davillain-: Can Halo really surpass Forza? I know Halo has extra development time, but last time I saw it I wasn't impressed. Forza looked great right from the beginning.

As a very long time Halo fan, I can only speak for myself that the latest trailer really showed off huge improvements on the campaign and hearing good word on the MP itself just tells me 343 really work their ass off making sure this delivers despite co-op is gonna be a late add feature. I'm just glad split-screen is back cause it isn't a Halo without it and by today's standard, its still a must feature.

Now can it surpass Forza? Halo has always be the icon of Xbox, this is MS most hype game of the year. How can it not beat out FH5? Even I'll admit, I'm enjoy it but I'm still in the honeymoon phase myself.

I like how people who complained about 70 dollar games had no problem coughing up $100 to play this 4 days early. 🤣

a couple errors in your logic

1. the $100 is NOT for the base game it is for the premium edition which includes the DLC and car passes.

2. You did NOT have to pay $100 to get early access, I as a Game Pass subscriber, was able to play early because I bought the $50 pack which includes the premium DLC and Car packs.

dlc and car passes? I can't stand it those cars and dlc on day one should came with the game. there should be no extra cost dlc or cars on day one. I can see a year from now and they put extra time to give us more content.

this is not attack on xbox this is all game companys.

Gotta love the goalpost moving and hatred for what appears to be a fantastic game. This makes me really excited for Fable.

I don't know what to expect for Fable but I am optimistic.

I played the Fable Legends beta, and it seemed fine, but not the direction I wanted to see Fable go. I hope this is focused on story and humor. It doesn't need to be some massive open world, unlock save towers, 10,000 missions. Just give us an awesome campaign, co-op as an option if it works.

omg they better not screw up fable.

the biggest reason I want a series x for.

I want a missive world but fable style not ass creed style.

were its just more towns to take over and more doors to figure out how to open.

The DLC and cars aren't day one though. They are still making them, and they will be releasing them throughout the next couple years.

So much for Game Pass being the only reason there are so many players.

I mean, we know over a million premium editions or premium DLC passes were sold before “launch day.” We also know the number has increased like 5X since Game Pass users have been able to play. So this doesn’t prove your point in any way. In fact, it proves the opposite. Let’s see the monthly numbers and year end before we get all crazy. And using kidsmoove as a source is as bad as using Colt.

The only fact is that it doesn't prove neither position because you nor him know how much of the userbase is Gamepass versus standard edition purchases.

Such a fun game. I do find it interesting the opening features an unskippable cutscene.

I have nothing to prove though. I am just posting what people have posted on the internet. Makes zero difference to me. I am just enjoying the game for the $99.99 that I paid for it.

Everyone has their passions I guess. Even Kidsmoove. Heck, you should check out the Maytag vs. GE appliances forum debates. That's a whole new level of spin.

Players don't equal sold, correct. Somebody paid for something though since so many were willing to crash the entrance gate for extra cash.

@Pedro: Most publishers do provide digital sales. Nintendo is the only one that I know of that doesn't.

Ex. Psychonauts 2 data was available

LMAO! No we won’t… Xbox doesn’t provide 1st party software sales info. We’ll NEVER know the Game Pass vs sales splits.

All we know is we went from 1 million paying customers to 5 million players on Game Pass day. “Players” will be the only unit of measure for this game from now on.

yeah I just don't like campanys holding back content for a pay roll.

everything that is available at launch should be included at the normal price.

That melt down went on for far too long. I respect everyone and always thought of Benjamin as a sensible cow, but damn. Why did Benjamin keep ignoring the fact that not everyone has gamepass? I for one do not have it as I prefer to buy games out right and there are many others like me. Paying for a game (standard or premium edition) if you don't have GP is in no way a robbery, how else are we meant to get the game? Ignoring this fact, lying to yourself that everyone has gamepass to support your agenda is just butt hurt denial. Anyway, enough of that.... FH5 is a spectacular game!

It was hard to imagine how Playground Games could top FH4. But they managed to do it with FH5. Such an amazing game. Definitely GOTY contender.
