Halo is dead Tbh lads
Press F to pay respects

>Microsoft has announced that Halo 5: Guardians generated more than $400 million in global sales during its first week, meaning the Xbox One game is now the "biggest Halo launch" of all time.
Yup, sure is dead.
>>316467868
That included console sales and bundle sales you dumb fuck. It also possibly included microtransactions.
>tfw i speak french
je ne me fait pas avoir op
>>316468012
ton francais est meh mon ami
>>316467868
>including consoles, XBL memberships, DLC, microtransaction
yes, sure is.
>>316465519
note total sales and sales any of those games had while being new are two different concepts
also by what amount of time the sales are listed, during launch, first three months or are you comparing 5 years of sales history to month old game´s sales?
>>316465519
Man, news headlines are always so vague and light on decent information.
I thought Halo 5 was the fastest selling Halo in the franchise?
Or was it the most shipped?
Fuck. What are the actual figures long term and first month sales of all the Halo games?
>>316467991
>>316468073
It's still a massive success. Explain how the Halo franchise is dead?
>>316468070
Va te faire enculer
>>316468165
impoli peh (pour etre honnet)
>Xbone beats PS4
>Halo 5 best selling game for October for only being out a couple days
>Sonygaf has to dig around for frog charts and push boundaries just to shit on halo
THE DELICIOUS DAMAGE CONTROL HOLY SHIT
>>316468012
>>316468070
>>316468165
>>316468249
Should you guys be surrendering to something right now?
>>316468147
if it was a success, they'd proudly announce the number of copies sold, just like every fucking publishers do, instead of cherry picked numbers without even explaining what they encompass.
>>316465519
This account only for physical sales.
For Halo 5 it takes into account the first week sales, 2 weeks for Halo 3 and 3 weeks for the others
Just to be clear
>>316468308
fuck off brit go eat some rotten beans
>>316468147
>AAA title selling like absolute shit compared to previous iterations is "a success"
You're pretty fucking retarded.
>>316468297
They are mad as fuck because Uncharted Collection completely flopped. Even if they included SKU sales, it would just put UC into 10th and Mario Maker would have pushed Rock Band outside the top 10.
>>316468147
Because they counted sell-in numbers for every single Halo console, game, and controller shipped in addition to microtransactions.
>>316465519
The fuck is this shitty graph ? Counting phyqixal sale only for 1 week for Halo 5 vs 2 week of sales for Halo 3 and three week for the others
It's dumb as fuck, frenchfags going full retard as usual..
>Because nowadays there's more digital sale than before
>"Hurr Durr I'm taking in account only one week for Halo 5, more week for the others and I'm suprised Halo 5 sold less"
No shit sherlock. Either you make comparison with the major factor being equals, or you don't do a comparison at all.
>>316468448
>400 million
>not a success
Whatever you say.
>>316468308
>Implying only french ppl speak french
i'm belgian mate, what's your prefered instult toward us ?
>>316468452
Not to mention Halo 5 is pretty fucking solid. Leagues above 4 and Reach, even better than 3 if you discount all the hours spent in Customs or forge.
>>316468616
you fucking waffle
>>316468691
I'll allow that.
>>316468549
It includes 5 days. AAA games are very frontloaded due. Halo 4 did 3.3m in the same time, but only did 474k total in the next three weeks.
Posts like these show you have no idea how sales or the industry works.
>>316468559
Only because they shipped probably 400k+ Halo 5 bundles worldwide in addition to all the controllers and games. The sell-through is absolutely horrid though.
That's like saying UCC is a massive success because they've made hundreds of millions in revenue with the Uncharted bundle.
Copies sold is irreverent. Halo 5 generated 400 million dollars and over half a million in micro transactions. Needless to say, Microsoft made money. Expect the shame shit with Halo 6 and even more micro transactions.
>>316468126
They're so far behind Sony that they've stopped pretending they're catching up. Instead they've changed the way they report performance of the Xbox division. So units sold is no longer a primary metric for success at Microsoft. That's why according to them Halo 5 is the most successful Halo yet even though it has the worst numbers.
>>316468885
if they're counting the price of the console bundles in that number it matters, because they can't count on another halo selling a console to someone who already got one
>>316468885
Sounds like they way overestimated demand and overshipped by a ton. They've also never had a $500 bundle as their main bundle for a whole two months.
Why do you think the PR took so long and never mentioned actual sales?
>>316468996
>if they're counting the price of the console bundles in that number it matters
That would be really retarded but it's possible.
Why does /v/ have such a fucking hate boner for Halo?
>>316468894
Activision just did the same with blops 3, though
>>316469178
>facts mean hate
Yea, man, I agree!
>>316469387
Shh, that doesn't count. COD is Sony marketed, it's one of the good guys now!
>>316468394
Digital sales are closing in on physical, it's almost 1:1 now, given that and that it's only 1 week, Halo 5 is probably orbiting over 2 millions right now which is pretty good considering the minuscule install base.
We still have Black friday coming up and Christmas.
Halo is fine.
>>316465519
>Halo is dead
Bullshit. Cancer can't die.
>>316469178
Because it was the original casual magnet, though it passed its mantle to CoD.
>>316470046
And now Halo is basically CoD.
How the mighty have fallen.
>>316468394
This. Also, halo 2 released in November, halo 3 released in September and was bundled with the MC green 360 elite. Halo reach came out in September and was bundled with the silver Xbox 360 slim, and halo 4 came out in November bundled with that hideous fucking mess.
Physical software sales figures don't represent shit anymore.
>>316469178
/v/ hates all big AAA games, especially exclusives.
It's a shame though, it's a pretty fun game, a lot better than Halo 4, especially online, all the dudebros, nignogs, stoners and squeekers moved on to COD and Halo has a now a smaller but very persistant and competitive community.
>>316469719
>>316469387
BO3 had over 3m concurrent players on PS4 alone last Sunday for what it's worth.
But anyways, Activision has always done it like this for every CoD though. MW3 was the top grossing and made 750m, BO3 made 550m in a shorter period (and without being the main console SKU for the month)
>>316468860
That's not the point. We all know that the first few days are the one that sell the most. The point is : (I) You should still compare that over the same timelapse, otherwise you look like you 're biaised as fuck and (2) One should keep in mind that the ratio between physical sale and digital sale have changed A LOT over the past few years. Counting physical sale only will clearly have a big bias toward older game since digital distribution weren't that big then.
Hence, the graph fail at what it is supposed to show no matter how you look at it.
Halo was one of my favorite games. Loved em all till 4 came out. 4 cooled me off on the series but I gave em a pass because they where new and I figured they would get better. Then 5 comes out and it's garbage. Granted they got a sale out of me but as far as buying Halo 6? No shot in gods green earth.
>>316469752
>Digital sales are closing in on physical, it's almost 1:1 now
Side have reached outer orbit
>>316470575
NPD numbers release monthly. These factors are taken into comparisons.
As for digital, see:

"Ever-growing proportion of revenues from the digital segment
Revenues from the digital segment came to €100.1 million, representing 48.3% of total sales (versus 27.8% in first-half 2014-15)."
>48.3%
>48.3%

Eat shit nigger.
>>316471236
That includes PC gaming...
>>316471329
You know very well that's it's irrelevent compared to console sales.
and even if it was like 40% it's still pretty much 1:1 considering it was almost half of that last year.
The trend rise exponentially and next year digital sales will surpass physical.

mad britfag loser
Removing splitscreen is what killed H5 for me, and hopefully for the market at large.
F4/BO3 are my AAA trash buys this month, thanks 343 for not making that a difficult descision
>>316468452
Uncharted Collection didn't flop if you consider worldwide sales
I bet my ass that Uncharted sold very well in Europe
>>316470702
>he thinks 5 is garbage
Lol
>>316474254
And you think it is?
>>316473121
>caring about anything outside NA and JP
Fuck off commie
>>316474254
>Still repeating the shill meme that Halo 5 is good.
You've been had mate. The shills have made their money and you're left with your post-hype rationalization.
>>316474292
It's bretty gud, actually.
Cons
>shit story (but they've been this way since 3)
>first half of campaign is a real drag, Lock being one dimensional doesn't help
>spawning in arena is a bit wonky, mostly an issue in FFA and Swat
>Lack of Infection, Juggernaut, KotH, and Assault at launch along with non ranked arena playlists
Pros
>Everything else
>>316474581
Please list everything else, about the only pro of the game is the 60fps. And reach had a great story you fuck
>>316474579
Ah projection, now that's a pretty meme.
>>316468147
Because they needed a trick to be able to say it sold more. It did not actually generate more revenue on the disc alone, compared to other games and what they sold by themselves.
On top of this,
>a consumer being happy/defending a serie that is ridden with microtransaction bullshit
C U C K
>>316468297
>Barely dents the PS4's lead
>Halo 5 only new game out besides yet another Ass Creed
Grapes nice and low today. :^)
>>316471445
Considering PC is like 30%+ of the market and is almost entirely digital, yes it absolutely makes a massive difference you dumbfuck.
Console games in 2015, TWENTY FUCKING FIFTEEN, only sell about 10-25% digital
>>316474659
You're right, Reach HAD a good story until bungie fucked it up to retcon their super special one dimensional Spartans IIIs into existence.
Pros
>Second half of campaign, Genesis, Breaking, and Guardians in particular
>Multiplayer feels amazing and fresh with new abilities
>Perfect weapon balance
>Breakout, Warzone, and Control are all great new game types
>Free DLC every month
>Loads of customization (but all RNG so more of a neutral thing. Should've just borrowed Reach armor system. Arguably the best thing about the game, micro transactions would've still fit)
>Exuberant Witness
>>316471236
That's revenues of all digital content, not unit sales of games, cumburper.
>>316467991
So Halo managed to sell more consoles? Doesn't that just make it a bigger success?
>All this damage control
Neogaf on suicidecwatch holy shit, first MS beats their console now Nintendo keks them with their mascot. I'd feel terrible if I was a Sony fan right about now.
>>316475258
Not really considering console sales this month were underwhelming. Xbox always Halo month NPD, even back on OG Xbox they did
