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

First Halo game with micro transactions. First Halo game where they talk about revenue but refuse to comment on how many units sold. Pretty obvious that sales are lackluster and all the cash is coming from idiots buying helmets n shit lol!

Example:

"With the highest week one attach rate for a Microsoft first party title on Xbox One, the game was the most played of any game on Xbox One, as well as the most played on Xbox Live.

WTF does that mean? Why isn't it "The highest week one attach rate for ANY GAME OF THE XBOX ONE?

Did Titanfall or Watch Dogs do better on the system?

I'm not sure if they actually count titanfall as an exclusive.It definitely beat titanfall in the US(I think halo 5 probably sold 1+ million when it launched), but I'm not sure about worldwide yet.

Does this include MegaBlocks sales? :D :D :D

Pretty obvious you are mad and salty about it like your brethren cows. Do you really think that many helmets sold? Think man. Your damage control is off the charts.

Say hi to your mom for me.

I don't really care, Sony's PR isn't an art like MS's is. MS truly has them beat in that area, nothing to spin there ;)(boom). They are truly the kings of hiding the real deal. If you check the first page I actually congratulate MS on their fantastic PR spin occasion. I even think it probably stole the show from the Halo information!

TBH I was hoping it would bomb and MS would be compelled to release it on PC to help make money. I guess this blows the shit out of that idea. ;)

Regardless of the spin and what makes the total, MS are still looking at shifting close to 500,000 Xbox Ones and several million copies of Halo 5 in a week. That's a win in anyone's book.

I wonder how Sony's big hitter Uncharted 4 will compare next year?

halo3>>>>halo4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>halo5

So either Halo 5 didn't sell as well as Halo 3 so far, or people got bored of Halo 5 really fast and stopped playing it within a week?

@Suppaman100:

You have Nothing to say because:

1. You're butthurt jelly

2. You're an idiot

3. TCHBO

Crawl back to your room and play your PS4, better yet go play Twisted Metal, Motorstorm, Socom 4, Wipeout, God of War 3, Killzone 2-3 and the rest of the exclusives on PS3 to make yourself feel better.

Damn, didn't know Halo 5 flopping would have this effect on lemmings...

Don't shoot the messenger lemming.

And it's clear you're on level 4.

Some perspective:

Destiny made $500,000,000 in 24 hours, JUST software sales. No hardware, no micro-transactions. Split between other consoles

Halo 5 did $400,000,000 in 168 hours combining software, console bundles, related hardware, and possibly micro-transactions. Only on one console.

We're looking at the very real possibility that Destiny managed to outperform Halo 5 on the Xbox One.

EDIT: Nvm, I forgot that the Destiny figures were extremely misleading.

@Suppaman100:

Seems you and most Cowturds in here are more angrier than ever (as usual), which explains your big pretentious pictures and gifs on your post.

Lol, try harder at trying harder. Kiddo. You're pathetic sad desperate comebacks will only amuse me further.

Kamehame...

@PraetorianMan: ofcourse is did.

halo is no more!

@draign: You only being able to say im saltly and that my grammer is wrong just proves that you have not one DIRECT response for the pr spin that i mentioned.

PR MS STYLE at its finest!!!!

MS needed a miracle, and here is it folks, in the form of some genius PR Man!!!

But let's celebrate a new record and forget about SW for a moment until the real numbers are out...of course.

the salt never ends

@MonsieurX: FYI

i have a bag of salt for next week ready.

this gone be good

Doesn't really matter what you are looking for, this was a statement that I wanted to see what the outcome will be.

@lglz1337: *some random lame excuse without any proof* BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!111

Get a grip.

1. Halo is no more.
2. Halo literally just made fucking millions.

Pick one.

@MonsieurX: it makes you mad

good good

and makes you realise that this 400m is not that impressive

I bought so many REQ and still ain't got a DMR

Im talking about after a month or 2 or even more. Its then when you can tell if the online aspect of a game is a success or not.

@lundy86_4: i pick nr1, there are differentvways to make money microtransactions is 1 of them. lal

@super600: definitely? Got proof? See here's one difference. When the Bloodborne did great and Sony was surprised thread was made, all I said was "come on Sony, you have the base, and you don't know how popular souls type games are"? But I was thrilled for them and devs and me being a consumer and player I was for myself.

You cows can't do it though. You can't just be thrilled for the industry, the fellow gamers on SW who are loving this game.

I know there are lens just as bad. But like any team in front, there are more on that side because humans are inherently insecure. Then there are the closet fanboys but we all know them.

@lglz1337: Yeah, so if Halo was no more, then it wouldn't make any money from microtransactions. Let alone so goddamn much. Logic 101. Congratulations.

I am a fan of the Xbox brand...I have enjoyed it since the OG....but I am not blind and I enjoy Playstation games as well, I own a PS3 & PS4.....but since the middle of last gen I have been big on building and upgrading my PC and playing 90% of multiplats on that. Just a brief history of myself for you because actually you don't know ;)

LOL this thread has just gotten way too funny. One side is gloating and the other is trying to find some way, shape or form to twist the good sales of Halo around to make it seem negative lol.....

@Heil68: Well besides the AAA on LOCK only to AA FLOP.

No AAAE 9.0 Editors Choice award.

still getting yours and my playing time.

I love my Floplo 5!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

see you with chickenfriedrice bro

4 pages reached in 4 hours of a thread on halo's revenue of 400$ mil.. are we seeing a pattern here? maybe it's accurate to predict halo 5 sold 4 mil?

ah, why am i wasting my time on this? system wars will be system wars.. now back to playing forza

Certain games like splatoon in the past have sold around 10X the amount they sold in the UK in the US since the UK market is smaller than the US market.If this pattern is applied to halo 5 it should be at 1.5 million at least right now. It looks very likely that halo 5 broke a million and maybe even 2 million at this point,but there is not enough data to determine this.

@lundy86_4: those req packs man

@tushar172787:

It's very unlikely halo 5 sold 4 million by now. It's likely that it could reach 4 million by the end of the year.

haha, just assuming on the coincidences :P

Is this sold to retailers or sold to consumers? If the former, it's possible that retailers over

How have the cows been owned? Didn't the cows expect Halo to sell well?

I'm confused:

So is the current argument that Halo is so unpopular that most of it's sales come from people dumping loads of money on microtransactions?

If so, this is low - even for system wars standards.

Cows claiming Halo is dead

oh god, that mean there will be more Halo in the future :(

@lglz1337: You are literally thicker than pig shit. Try keeping up with the debate at hand.

Ain't nobody salty about your 810P flop lol!

@kingsfan_0333: Essentially. That, plus the hardware bundles/LE/hardware accessories. So, Halo is dead, except for people buying Halo related merchandise... Plus games/hardware.

Halo 3 "Within the first day of its launch, “Halo 3” players worldwide racked up more than 3.6 million hours of online gameplay, which increased more than elevenfold to 40 million hours by the end of the first week,"

40 million hours in first week

Halo 4 "with over 4 million players in the first five days. Users spent a total of 31.4 million hours playing “Halo 4,”

31.4 million hours in first week.

Halo 5 "Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay, including 12 million hours in campaign mode alone."

21 million hours in the first week.

-------------------------------------------------

Bottom line is, MS knew the series has been languishing. This is why they have chosen to monetize it with RMT, $250/$100/$60 editions of the game, a $500 hardware bundle, a special edition controller, and even a Halo branded headset. They may have even gone so far as to lump all of their normal XBox One hardware sales into that weekly figure as the statement leaves that completely open to interpretation.

I have never called into question MSes ability to monetize the Halo franchise. I have called into question Halo's status as a system seller. If we look at the PR releases regarding Halo 3 compared to Halo 5, it may have sold damn near half as many software units on top of everything else. Needless to say, my jimmies have not been rustled. At least, not yet. It sure as hell ain't the campaign that's keeping people from filling that 19 million online hour play hole.

I'm still maintaining my stance that this will be the worst selling main Halo entry.

No units sold? combining software AND hardware into the mix? LOL

Neither. The main complain/concern/whatever is that the Halo franchise is declining, not outright dead. The fact that MS resorted to "Biggest Halo Launch Ever!" by inflating its $$$ figures with bundles, controllers, headsets, etc and NOT "Halo 5 is the best selling Halo game ever!" is... interesting.
