	T.Rexington posted 09/10/2012, 11:42 Getting close to 2 million. I wonder what the lifetime sales for this will be. Halo games tend to keep on selling overtime. It'll more than likely get a boost in sales once Halo 4 comes around if the price is right. Message \| Report

	Ganoncrotch posted 16/07/2012, 12:35 Great remake of this absolute landmark game in console fps genre just got the 1000pts in it the other day, really nice the way they've worked the achievements into it, all the standards for halo such as finishing each stage and finishing every stage on each of the difficulties but they've also gone and added in 2 achievements per stage which are all rather fun to aim at things like finish library heroic without dying or library legendary in under 30mins. 100% offline achievements too so no need for grinding tons of ranks or whatever in games online to 1000pt the game, really makes it enjoyable to play over and over.

	Mr Puggsly posted 18/06/2012, 07:18 @ pezus - Origins was bundled, but not nearly as much. The PSP games are not remakes. They are original games and Origins on PS3 were ports. I don't understand your ODST analogy at all. I don't think sales2099 told a lie, he was just wrong. Either way, I never defended him because I'm aware other ports/remakes have sold better. Not many, but its been achieved. Message \| Report
	enrageorange posted 20/05/2012, 06:20 So far this year, god of war collections sold 30k, according to vgcharts so it basically stopped selling. This is up to 250k. It could pass collections by next year, and considering well over half of GoW collection's sales were free bundles its already past it in terms of actual sales, http://www.analoghype.com/video-games/playstation-3-news/god-of-war-collection-hits-the-1-million-mark, and unless adjusted down this game will pass 2mil, and probably end up near 3mil, its already at 1.8mil, and still selling according to vgchartz.

	BenVTrigger posted 30/04/2012, 09:31 People who expected this game to do over 2 million are.............well honestly dumb. No HD remake EVER will without bundling, and yes that includes GOW. Only super hardcore fans of a franchise ever buy the remake Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 23/04/2012, 06:47 @ pezus - Blah, blah, blah... you take no factors into consideration. God of War Collection had console bundling (black friday) and was bundled with controllers. On top of that its been on the market for about 2 year longer. Look how piss poor God of War Origins performed. Which was also bundled with controllers. God of War is a hit, but not the hit bundles have lead you to believe. Message \| Report
	Metroid33slayer posted 04/04/2012, 07:09 Scratch that! this game has already hit a brick wall and will just about make 2m, the guy from vgchartz that wrote that article about future halo sales predicted 6m. He is probably keeping a low profile. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 26/03/2012, 07:41 @ Heavenly_King - People had unrealistic expectations, you included. Its the same old game with improved graphics. Yet its still selling better than most AAA games. If you can't admit that's impressive than you sir are a moron. Message \| Report
	T.Rexington posted 25/03/2012, 07:40 This is pretty interesting to see, I would think that CE would've sold better, but it's hard to gauge the popularity of a series by an HD remake because it seems like they always under perform compared to the original release, as opposed to matching. I'm not ready to say the Halo series is in trouble when CE has been available to play on the 360 in retail form since day one, and that's also including the digital release on xbox live. I feel like MS should've done the same job with ODST last time and give out the entire Reach multiplayer on one disc. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 23/01/2012, 07:32 @ pezus - GoW Collection has been on the market for years. This has only been on the market for a few months. You couldn't figure that out? OoT is a massive success, no shame in selling less than that. Message \| Report

	Metroid33slayer posted 13/01/2012, 09:59 People were predicting 5 to 6 million but i can see it stalling at 3 to 3.5 million because it will have a short lifespan due to the immonence of halo 4. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 07/01/2012, 02:50 @ OkeyDokey - I think you're forgetting all past Halo releases were original games. This is basically a 10 year old game with improved graphics. God of War Collection was two games by the way. Don't forget MS still has an opportunity to release Halo 2 Anniversary. Message \| Report
	Nsanity posted 05/01/2012, 06:52 @OkeyDokey: significant marketing? quit talking out your ass. Message \| Report
	Zim posted 05/01/2012, 05:56 @okeydokey This game didn't have an updated multiplayer. It had an entirely different multiplayer that was half the size of the original game and that was also available as an odd on to a huge selling game. I mean you are comparing it to GoW collection which is stupid. GoW collection was $10 cheaper and two games combined. Not only this but in the time this reached 1.35million the GoW collection was only at 630k. The original Halo is also one of the best selling xbox orignals on the marketplace. Message \| Report
	enrageorange posted 01/01/2012, 12:22 actually I think the biggest problem with this game was that it didn't have a marketing campaign. I don't watch a lot of tv, but the only ads I saw for this were on dedicated gaming sites. On the other hand halo 3, odst, reach, and even halo wars had huge tv campaign ads and everyone knew about the game. This one just got overshadowed by a bunch of huge multiplatform games. Again these sales are good, but I find them disappointing. I don't see why its so wrong that I expected it to sell more. Message \| Report
	--OkeyDokey-- posted 01/01/2012, 12:01 The other HD remakes didn't get a complete visual overhaul, updated multiplayer and significant marketing budgets. This was positioned as Micorosft's big holiday title and many people were expecting ODST numbers. Depending on how it holds after christmas, it may even struggle to pass the God of War Collection... Message \| Report
	Chunkysatsuma posted 31/12/2011, 09:09 It took Halo Wars nearly 3 years to hit 2 million - if in three years time this REMAKE of a game many still own has not sold more than 2 million I will concede it is disapointing - however this is shaping up to being the best selling HD remake of all time Message \| Report
	--OkeyDokey-- posted 31/12/2011, 01:27 I think Microsoft is handling this franchise the wrong way. Halo 2 and 3 launches were events. It doesn't feel like anyone cares about Halo 4, and all these remakes, prequels, side stories and spin offs are to blame. Message \| Report

	enrageorange posted 30/12/2011, 11:00 Chunky you need to get your head examined. This game is no doubt selling great, but that doesn't mean the sales aren't disappointing to some who expected higher from halo. Again considering a console halo rts sold 2mil, more then double any other console rts this gen, a halo expansion sold 6mil, more then most games period, so yes I had high expectations for a remake. Message \| Report
	Chunkysatsuma posted 30/12/2011, 02:17 Anyone saying this is disapointing numbers wise needs a) to get their head examined as it is a remake and b) check Resistance 3 (half the sales in more then double the time) Message \| Report
	dsage01 posted 25/12/2011, 04:45 Great game enjoying it. I'm getting Resistance 3 which is included in the PS move sharpshooter bundle. I hope Resistance 3 can have an MP as good as this game. Message \| Report
	sales2099 posted 24/12/2011, 10:31 actually enrageorange Most of the millions of Halo players buy Halo for the MP. They clearly opted to buy the DLC for Reach that came with the game seperately. This number seems to be about right for the number of Halo fans that exist purely for the nostalgia Message \| Report

	Heavenly_King posted 20/12/2011, 04:26 @pezus: If the PSP games did not sell well is not because no one was intereseted in playing them, it was because most people intereseted in playing those games download them from internet. Message \| Report

	blue7x7 posted 14/12/2011, 02:13 How is this selling bad it's a remake what did people expect it to sell like? a regular halo game I would call it a huge success if it sells more than 2 million which seems like it will. Also dsage01 it is not being bundled like "crazy" is their even a bundle for it I know Halo Reach is being bundled but I have not heard of a $200 or $300 xbox 360 bundle for it. Message \| Report
	dsage01 posted 13/12/2011, 11:21 Great game. Unforutuantly the sales are pretty poor when compared to an average Halo game and that is being bundled crazy. For a halo game the sales are pretty poor. For a remkae the sales are excellent. I think it's one of the best shooters this year Message \| Report
	enrageorange posted 13/12/2011, 07:55 considering its an fps at a $40 starting price and considering a full price halo expansion sold 6mil yes this is selling bad. Its barely outpacing halo wars which was a console rts... Its still selling great for a game in general, but for a halo game these sales are very bad. Message \| Report
	Heavenly_King posted 13/12/2011, 06:21 For a Halo game, can it be said that it is selling like crap?? I think so, considering that this gen Halo games sold 2M+, first week. Message \| Report
	enrageorange posted 13/12/2011, 05:15 ya big adjustment down in America. First week down about 200k Message \| Report
	enrageorange posted 08/12/2011, 12:54 Unless npd comes along and causes major adjustments down it should already be close by the end of the year. Uk sales for the first two weeks were 37% of europe. Assuming it stays the same, the game should sell near 50k in Europe again. At the minimum 35k considering it sold 18k in the UK. Add in sales for rest of americas, and MEA and it will be above 100k this week. Compare sales to any game from first week of december to last. It should sell at the minimum 100k then 150k then 170k then 200k then 100k. So by January first it will probably be at 1.9mil Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 07/12/2011, 04:35 @ blue7x7 - Nah, Halo CEA had the bigger budget because they actually used a new engine and created new HD graphics. While God of War Colelction was basically straight ports. Halo CEA will sell more units though. MS also has the opportunity to release a Halo 2 Anniversary as well. Message \| Report
	blue7x7 posted 06/12/2011, 10:56 Wow amazing sales already 1 million in 2 weeks is great for a reamake as for people saying this probably cost more than the GOW collection they probably cost the same you have to realize that the GOW collection is 2 games for the price of 1 so they had to remake 2 games this is just one game and it wasn't made from scratch.

	sales2099 posted 06/12/2011, 06:17 well JustThatGamer, I got a feeling that Halo CEA will profit a hell of a lot more, seeing as it sold more in one week then GOW Collection did in its first 10 weeks :) Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 03/12/2011, 03:40 @ NotStan - Well how has past re-releases of Halo sold? All we can say is this is one of the best openings a re-release has ever had. Bear in mind this wasn't hyped like other Halo games either. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 03/12/2011, 03:36 @ JustThatGamer - First of all Halo:CEA will likely profit more than GoW:Collection. Also, since its only a single game MS also has the opportunity to sell a Halo 2 Anniversary. Now why are you boasting that Sony isn't spending much on simple PS2 ports? If anything you should give kudos to MS for doing something more original than simple ports. Message \| Report
	Chunkysatsuma posted 03/12/2011, 12:08 Actually it hasnt been built from the ground up - it is using the original engine for gameplay etc the only difference is it has a second engine running on top of that for graphics, costing considerably less than a new game would Message \| Report
	JustThatGamer posted 02/12/2011, 11:10 Chunkysatsuma, what you're failing to understand is that the God of War: Collection is just a HD port that cost hardly anything to make and has sold 2.5m which means it made a huge profit. The Halo REMAKE cost a hell of a lot more because they've REMADE the game from scratch. You need to learn the difference between a HD port i.e. GOW, ICO & SOTC collections and fully remade remakes such as Halo: CEA and Zelda: OOT for the 3DS, you can't compare the sales of HD ports and remakes because a remake needs to sell a lot more to make a profit than a HD port does. Anyway, this isn't a flop no matter what anyone says. Message \| Report
	Chunkysatsuma posted 02/12/2011, 04:34 Hardly a flop when other remakes (like God of War collection which was half the price) took 5-6 weeks to post these numbers Message \| Report

It could pass collections by next year, and considering well over half of GoW collection's sales were free bundles its already past it in terms of actual sales, http://www.analoghype.com/video-games/playstation-3-news/god-of-war-collection-hits-the-1-million-mark, and unless adjusted down this game will pass 2mil, and probably end up near 3mil, its already at 1.8mil, and still selling according to vgchartz.

	BenVTrigger posted 30/04/2012, 09:31 People who expected this game to do over 2 million are.............well honestly dumb. No HD remake EVER will without bundling, and yes that includes GOW. Only super hardcore fans of a franchise ever buy the remake Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 23/04/2012, 06:47 @ pezus - Blah, blah, blah... you take no factors into consideration. God of War Collection had console bundling (black friday) and was bundled with controllers. On top of that its been on the market for about 2 year longer. Look how piss poor God of War Origins performed. Which was also bundled with controllers. God of War is a hit, but not the hit bundles have lead you to believe. Message \| Report
	Metroid33slayer posted 04/04/2012, 07:09 Scratch that! this game has already hit a brick wall and will just about make 2m, the guy from vgchartz that wrote that article about future halo sales predicted 6m. He is probably keeping a low profile. Message \| Report

	T.Rexington posted 25/03/2012, 07:40 This is pretty interesting to see, I would think that CE would've sold better, but it's hard to gauge the popularity of a series by an HD remake because it seems like they always under perform compared to the original release, as opposed to matching. I'm not ready to say the Halo series is in trouble when CE has been available to play on the 360 in retail form since day one, and that's also including the digital release on xbox live. I feel like MS should've done the same job with ODST last time and give out the entire Reach multiplayer on one disc. Message \| Report

It had an entirely different multiplayer that was half the size of the original game and that was also available as an odd on to a huge selling game. I mean you are comparing it to GoW collection which is stupid. GoW collection was $10 cheaper and two games combined. Not only this but in the time this reached 1.35million the GoW collection was only at 630k. The original Halo is also one of the best selling xbox orignals on the marketplace. Message \| Report
	enrageorange posted 01/01/2012, 12:22 actually I think the biggest problem with this game was that it didn't have a marketing campaign. I don't watch a lot of tv, but the only ads I saw for this were on dedicated gaming sites. On the other hand halo 3, odst, reach, and even halo wars had huge tv campaign ads and everyone knew about the game. This one just got overshadowed by a bunch of huge multiplatform games. Again these sales are good, but I find them disappointing. I don't see why its so wrong that I expected it to sell more. Message \| Report
	--OkeyDokey-- posted 01/01/2012, 12:01 The other HD remakes didn't get a complete visual overhaul, updated multiplayer and significant marketing budgets. This was positioned as Micorosft's big holiday title and many people were expecting ODST numbers. Depending on how it holds after christmas, it may even struggle to pass the God of War Collection...

	Chunkysatsuma posted 31/12/2011, 09:09 It took Halo Wars nearly 3 years to hit 2 million - if in three years time this REMAKE of a game many still own has not sold more than 2 million I will concede it is disapointing - however this is shaping up to being the best selling HD remake of all time Message \| Report
	--OkeyDokey-- posted 31/12/2011, 01:27 I think Microsoft is handling this franchise the wrong way. Halo 2 and 3 launches were events. It doesn't feel like anyone cares about Halo 4, and all these remakes, prequels, side stories and spin offs are to blame. Message \| Report

Assuming it stays the same, the game should sell near 50k in Europe again. At the minimum 35k considering it sold 18k in the UK. Add in sales for rest of americas, and MEA and it will be above 100k this week. Compare sales to any game from first week of december to last. It should sell at the minimum 100k then 150k then 170k then 200k then 100k. So by January first it will probably be at 1.9mil Message \| Report

	JustThatGamer posted 02/12/2011, 11:10 Chunkysatsuma, what you're failing to understand is that the God of War: Collection is just a HD port that cost hardly anything to make and has sold 2.5m which means it made a huge profit. The Halo REMAKE cost a hell of a lot more because they've REMADE the game from scratch. You need to learn the difference between a HD port i.e. GOW, ICO & SOTC collections and fully remade remakes such as Halo: CEA and Zelda: OOT for the 3DS, you can't compare the sales of HD ports and remakes because a remake needs to sell a lot more to make a profit than a HD port does. Anyway, this isn't a flop no matter what anyone says. Message \| Report
