Are you seriously that stupid? So you use an article whose clear intent was to show that ALL of their first party titles sold over 1 million as a citation that Halo 5 did not sell 1 million until January? I assume your grades weren't the best if that's how you read that article. They were clearly using the lowest denominator of 1 million to group all of those games together. That was not a post detailing Halo 5's sales.Also, as an exclusive Halo 5 was the number 1 best selling game in October, outselling even Assassin's Creed on all platforms combined. It was the only exclusive game to be #1 all year. In an even more competitive November it was still #8 (again as an exclusive). NPD also, does not cover digital sales. So you think Halo 5 didn't pass 1 million until January? pfft. The game probably was over 2 million if not more at that point. Regardless of what you think about those sales vs, previous Halo games it was still crushed any of the other exclusives on other platforms.
