@turianshepard: I say we just ignore him. even with all the facts I provide, he is still in denial :/

@cmdr_danbo: those are the worldwide numbers, which automatically include the uk numbers.They always reported Halo sales numbers after the same time frame, nothing is different now. So if you know that it includes hardware numbers, why are you questioning others reporting the same? That those "software" numbers for halo 5 are inflated with hardware numbers. Is it because of fanboyism? Or what is it?

@cmdr_danbo: What the F*ck? Dude? wtf?

$400Mio revenue includes Halo 5 software and *HARDWARE*

The Hardware is $500 Halo branded console Bundle + $70 Halo Branded Controller(not to mention microtransactions are included to those numbers as well)

We have physical Numbers from Halo's SECOND BIGGEST Market, the UK

which is at 150k(physical), and Japan which is 7k(also physical)

Here is Halo 4 PR from years ago:

http://majornelson.com/2012/11/12/ha...irst-24-hours/

In a year when Hollywood is rolling out its biggest blockbusters, one video game has eclipsed them all. "“Halo 4” is on track to reach $300 million in global sales in the first week, making it the biggest “Halo” launch in history

Notice how they didn't include Hardware numbers for Halo 4 PR? Its obvious that Halo 5 sold less than Halo4, that's why they're inflating the numbers with hardware sales and microtransactions.

IF Halo 5 generated $400Mio by itself, it must at least sell 3-4Mio in NPD, how else can it generated that amount of revenue when it underperformed in its second biggest Market? Dude its common sense, you're jst in denial now

its not even worth question dude, and you know it :/

@cmdr_danbo: He doesnt spin anything, he is using common sense. Why are you so dense anyway? It's not our fault when you fall so easily for PR talks

@cmdr_danbo: thats not horrible math dude, its common sense. I guess you're easily blinded by PR talk from MS, just like "Halo 5 story mode is twice as long as Halo 4 on Normal" which was proven to be bullshit afterall :/

People believe that Halo 5 sold 5 mio units, because of the confusing PR. We have numbers from Halo's second biggest market and those are just 150k(physical). If it doesnt sell 3-4Mio in NPD reports, then where do the rest of the sales numbers come from then?

Logic dude

@cmdr_danbo: I already said that the sales would still be well over 2Mio Worldwide in 1 week , if we ignore the confusing PR and focus on the game alone

@suicidesn0wman: So stating facts and having common sense makes me a troll now? I'm not a mindless idiot who falls for the lamest PR speeches. Hell it's even in the report

"revenue generated from Halo 5 games and "Hardware " meaning that the $70 halo controllers

and $500 halo console bundles are in fact included in those revenue numbers. It's a PR spin as usual and many people fall for it. Also do you even know me to call me a troll? Whats your deal?

Also know the difference between a hunter and the hunted, I'm a Troll"hunter" not a troll. Stating obvious things doesnt make you a troll :/

@otterbee: if we ignore all the confusing PR and exclude unnecessary things like hardware or microtransactions, I would say it has 2 Mio plus in the bag, for a week sales. We have UK numbers (physical) and things doesn't add up to Microsoft PR. The UK is halos second biggest market, after US

@reduc_ab_: psst... You are making too much sense

Oh boy the NPD reports are going to be great. I guess MS super PR has payed off once again. People really believe that halo 5 alone contributed to the 400 Mio dollars revenue :/. I can't wait for the eventual "but teh revenue" posts, when it underperforms.
