Yet Halo 5 sold roughly 5 million in the matter of three months and not a word was said with the exception of the head of Halo development correcting someone on a forum for posting an incorrect figure...
They just don't talk about this stuff anymore, good, bad, it doesn't matter, they've locked their numbers down.
This estimate doesn't mean anything and should be looked at as nothing more than a "best guess", because that's exactly what it is, and it could be comically off.
Stop the bullshit they shipped 400 millions of Halo 5 crap,shipped not sold,selling 5 million units in 3 months put Halo 5 beating Halo 3 in the first 3 months,Halo 3 was 4 months on NPD including 2 months in a row on the first spot,halo 5 did 1 month in first spot by the second it was on spot 10 almost out of the chart and by month 3 it wasn't charting at all.
In fact Halo 3 almost charted 5 months in a row as it loss the 10 spot in january 2008 to Mario and Sonic at the olympics by miserable 6k it did 127k vs Mario which did 133k,almost 5 months in a row have you read 343 or MS claim that Halo 5 outsold Halo 3.?
Bullshit they stopped talking about numbers for several reasons well know to anyone who isn't a blind lemming.
1-NO longer even shipped numbers could save face for the gap the PS4 was creating on the spot,when they announce 10 million units in November 2014,they were not even close,they shipped a truck load of units and saturated the market the xbox one was like at 6 million sold to consumer by the time they announce 10 million shipped,they just wanted to give their best face and since shipped number of 10 million was incredibly close to the PS4 13 million sold to consumers it was as good strategy,in fact that holiday they won december and november it is when they dropped the price to $329 with 2 games and and gift cards and shit.
After that holiday MS stopped reporting,because by January 2015 the PS4 simply was out pacing them to fast,to the point of shipped numbers not been even close to sony sold to consumer numbers.
2-The xbox 360 numbers and PS3 ones are to easy to find,they say 27 millions and instantly people will know the xbox one is under performing vs the xbox 360,i call it that 2016 would be the year the xbox one felt behind the xbox 360,the sales didn't lie in fact several months of xbox one sales the leaked numbers were lower than the xbox 360 was selling in the same time frame.
@charizard1605: no it still is the xbox 360 had 17.7 million units as of december 31 2007 so the xbox one is barely beating it by 1.3 million.
But i think this year it will fall behind because 2008 was solid sales wise for the xbox 360.

I was spot on,is not so much that xbox one sales are lower,is also the fact that on 2008 xbox 360 sales pick up,in fact the xbox 360 outsold the PS3 that year world wide.

What aren't you getting here? PlayStation 4 sales are in decline, Xbox One sales are on the rise... They haven't both hit that point yet where they have consistently traded places but the Xbox One is moving in to that territory, it crossed that threshold last month, it no doubt came close to doing it again this month and over the next 4-6 months it's likely going to completely trade places with it.
You need to understand why this is happening, it's the lack of things happening for the PlayStation 4, its price, it's in what seems to be an indefinite stagnation with something to change that always far and away on the horizon, people are getting sick of it and waiting, as a result they're buying from the competition at an increasing rate.
