only 150.000 copies sold to retail. ( excluding digital )
Uk is the second biggest market for microsoft and it did so bad.
hopefully microsoft smarten up and release HAlo 5 on pc with mod support, because releasing their prime games on xbox one only is just throwing money away.

How many digital sales? I don't know anyone who actually buys disks anymore. 
People still buy disks? 
I bought the disk for Halo because I have all the cases for every Halo game. But other than Halo I'm buying all digital now. That figure seems good considering how much more prevalent digital is now
you do know that for example in germany digital sales is only 9%.
that is why i am already laughing at the all digital hipsters answers.
Halo 5 did bad. also were is microsoft sales announchment? if it was good you bet you will have heard of it. fact is we did not. not even from the usa.
i really wonder how bad sales are in ze motherland.
uk being the second biggest market for ms is a joke. while the info might be true. microsoft is basically us only. they sold a very small number of the xboxes to euro so it can't be a shock to see a game not having massive sales when there just isn't many xbox consoles in that market
xbox screwed up this gen. they prolly working on xbox2 right now. next gen we will see if they learned
redeye2000 - you do know that for example in germany digital sales is only 9%.I have no idea what the figures are but, I don't know anyone that buys digital games, everyone I know buys disks. I didn't realise digital versions were even thought to be popular. I'm from the UK.

Everyone I know is strictly buying digital to take advantage of xbox's game sharing ability.

Flexo -Basically 2 people setting each other's consoles as their home console allows them to share digital games. So only one of them has to buy a game for them both to get it.ThisWeeksTrend - Everyone I know is strictly buying digital to take advantage of xbox's game sharing ability.Game sharing?
rockafella - People still buy disks?I still by discs. Sometimes. It really depends on the size of the game. I'll definitely be buying Fallout 4 on disc.
For me it's all about managing the amount of space on the PS4, versus managing load times into zones within the game. Not that I'll even play F4 on my PS4, that's mostly for my son.

Don't you basically have to install the game on the hard drive anyways?
Halo 5 was going to get me to buy an Xbox One. Then they removed split-screen co-op and I lost all desire to get the game, and the Xbox One. Microsoft fucked up. They underestimated the importance of split-screen for the Halo franchise. It was the only thing setting it apart from the Call of Duty's and Destinys of the world. Now it's just another overrated shooter. Not interested.
rockafella -Possibly. The only game I can think of off the top of my head that told players beforehand that the game would be installed fully on your HD was Destiny.LotionInTheBasket -rockafella - People still buy disks?I still by discs.

Some games will run some assets off the disc, some will require a complete install.
It's likely though, that F4 will be a huge game. If my son or myself uninstalls the game because we need space, I'd rather not rely on downloading the game again from the PSN where at any given time speeds can be spotty at best.
On the other hand, sometimes the load times are fucking atrocious from discs. Assassin's Creed Unity was a good example of that. It took twice as long for assets to load for me than it did for people that purchased digital.
I have a question about this.
Why do you care?

One week after launching worldwide, Halo 5: Guardians has made history as the biggest Halo launch and fastest-selling Xbox One exclusive game to-date, with more than $400 million in global sales of Halo 5: Guardians games and hardware, pushing the franchise to over $5 billion lifetime. 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.
Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay, including 12 million hours in campaign mode alone. The widely praised multiplayer modes have also led to nine million total hours played with nearly seven million multiplayer matches played across Arena and the all-new Warzone mode. In addition, Halo fans are taking to the new Requisition System in a big way, with over 45 million REQ Packs acquired, totaling more than 568 million REQ Cards.
Last week’s Halo 5: Live earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most watched video game launch broadcast, setting a precedent with more than 330,000 unique streams on the evening of the broadcast. Additionally, content from the broadcast generated 5.5 million total views throughout the week. This resulted in a spike in digital sales of Halo 5: Guardians, leading to it becoming the best-selling digital game ever in the Xbox Store for an opening week.

redeye2000 -That's what I asked you? Why do you care about what Xbox is doing. You make constant stupid threads about ps4 beating Xbox 1. Seriously your life needs more drama I'm guessing.PepperUK - I have a question about this.
