If what that person is saying is true (And it looks like it from early sales data from the UK), Halo 5 sold only 1.5m units in the first week. LTD will probably be 5 million.
This means SONY now has Grand Turismo, Uncharted, God Of War, The Last of Us, and Naughty Dog's new IP that are all bigger than Halo.
Horizon could sell 5 million too.
Which is only bad for the industry.
How is Microsoft supposed to compete if their best exclusive is, at best, mediocre while SONY has dozens of high-quality exclusives and a studio that churns out 90+ meta every time? Having their own little fanbase pretending that this mediocre game is the greatest thing since sliced bread isn't enough.
Microsoft should have used their success last gen to fund new IPs. Now their greed is biting them in the ass.
