Halo 5 Reaches $400 Million in Sales to Become Biggest Halo Launch Ever

Say it out loud cows......Four Hundred Mmmmmmmmmillion!!!!

Optional salt to say out loud..... One Weeeeek!!!!

Be sure to tip your waiter.

@MonsieurX: it's true and you know it stop acting.

Yeah I don't even care about the MS spin....400 mil is 400 mil and if that includes consoles that's great....it means the console bundle is selling thanks to Halo 5 and the game is selling well also. Looks like a few folks still care about Halo ( for the time being )

@sts106mat: microtransactions silly lem

lol man, the massive cow ownage continues.

He'll be here all week folks, try the Veal, it's the saltiest in town. :P

Sure, that much for microtransactions... To buy those, you first have to buy the game ;)

It's not,stop being salty

It must have had insanely good US sales then because from what I hear it sold terribly in the UK and if it sold terribly in the UK then its sales in the european mainland must have been non existent.

@FastRobby: Iglz1337 philosophy is that only $20 million is from game sales. The other $380 million is from micro transactions.

He needs to control that salt this instant!!!!!!

Damn MS have some epic spin doctors. And people fall for it every time.

lol

Job well done Spartan locke. Now imagine what Halo 6 will do with Chief back at the helm. There's no stopping Halo. Deal with it.

@Zero_epyon: when was the last time Sony made $400 million on anything?

The salt continues......

Well technically you do care because you wondered how 'fanboys' were spinning it so I was just telling you people are using MS's own words lol.
But I'm glad you're happy for the franchise, that's nice. I'm glad you informed me on that.

Less than two weeks?

I don't care how MS included hardware is what I'm saying....fanboys like yourself can use it all they want. They ( and you ) are using MS's words but failing miserably as either way you spin it it's a win.

I didn't say "I"...I said folks but now that you mention it I am happy with the franchise....great game. You should dry your tears and play it.

The top dawg, as usual.

I see people in here love numbers, Bloodborne got a 92 on the metric, Halo's a flop cause it only got 86 but the only number that really counts right now is 400 million......That doesn't sound like a flop to me.

So in short....it still didn't sell as many as TC makes it sound.

And even then....nothing big released so Halo 5 had all the stage.

@MonsieurX: oh so you can tell me how many copies they have sold and how many systems ? because MS cant.

you have the world exclusive in your hands or shoukd i wait another week for bomba halo sales where ps4 beats the crap out of XPos Bone once again ?

@sts106mat: prove it's not ?

halo fangirks buy every ingame microtransactions available

I mean those games can easily sell more cause those are multiplatform games. I don't know if Fallout will do it but definitely CoD. Fallout has been heavily marketed for the X1 also so it will be interesting what the sales breakdown of that game will be.

TCHBO?

But I thought lemmings didn't play sales?

Hypocrites.

And we'll see if Xbone can finally outsell PS4 this month.

Btw, Halo 5 is still a flop, TLHBO.

MS can tell us that, but since when do companies give a complete breakdown of the sales?

Should they separately for each game tell us how many consoles they shipped with the bundle, the design controllers, the goodies, the actual game in stores, the game digitally, and how many special edition consoles they sold? Maybe even where how much, not just those figures, also how much for each country, region, etc.

Good one kiddo ;)

Take one and call Doc SP in the morning...

:P

@FoxbatAlpha: math is not your strongest part texas ranger.

Not surprised I remember speaking with some friends after the beta we loved it so much and it represented only a small portion of the game, just based on that experience alone I was so stoked to get my hands on the full game.

Salt left and right in this thread

The denial is strong with this one

If Sony announced Bloodborne sales similarly you'd be all over it

So what Dragon Quest Heroes, Disgaea 5, Until Dawn, Uncharted collection and Tales of Zesteria made that much when all combined together

The greatest line up in PS History

Lol srsly who is salty here?

Lemmings are delusional as usual thinking this will change anything in the console race.

Cows are happy lemmings get a bit more ammo to damage control the flop that is Halo 5, especially since it's getting so easy to own lemmings these days.

@SecretPolice: I don't see your point.

The number includes bundles and micorstransactions. So what I said was true.

And the biggest game to release around the same time was Syndicate....which....yeah right.

Nope. Not what I'm looking at.

@FastRobby: man you're dumb, i'm sorry to tell you th8s fact

omg

MS could tell us exactly how many copies they sold last halo games this time they spin.

so obvious

@mr_huggles_dog:

Oh mang you have a worse case than I thought, take a half dozen and call Doc SP in the morning lol

So cows want everyone to believe microtransactions are a huge contributor to that $400 million? Hahahahaha I'm going to guess no more than 1 or 2 million at the most. That still leaves 398m from sales of the game and console (which I bought at $499). Cows are now going to claim a bulk is from the console. If true, that would make it a system seller which would go against everything hardcore cows have been saying. "Halo is dead, it's a tired series, it won't sell systems,"

Either way, cows are eating crow no matter how they try and spin it.

@SecretPolice: Ok....so you're just blindly defending Halo.

Then I'll move along.

Either way...it flopped.

So it's sales are outpacing Halo 3? I guess the fact that there is more Xbox Ones on the market now than there was 360's at Halo 3's launch really meant something. Halo dominates in sales for another generation. Madness.

@kingtito: bundle was 500 idiot

this 400mil tells you nothing about how great halo did silly lems.

Xbox One owners are happy they have great games to play. Cows claim to be happy with their library but it doesnt show with the tears filling up the place right now.

Like I said. Yes they can, but companies don't do this, because that would be amazingly stupid. Calling someone dumb, when your own reading comprehension is lacking, is funny though.

@lglz1337: by the look of your tears, math isn't your strongest point either. Dat salt though!

This is one of the spinniest PR I have witnessed in a long time.

I am sure Halo 5 did pretty great, but why the need of such spin?

and currently the highest rated Xbox One exclusive, first-person shooter game of 2015, according to Metacritic.

This is a very WTFish moment.

Moron, I said it was $500 dumbass. Microtransactions aren't you ignorant cow.

It says it sold well enough to be considered a success. Stay salty you delusional cow.
