01. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (360, PS3, PC, Wii U) Activision Blizzard - 7.5M

02. Halo 4 (360) Microsoft - 3.2M (Reach and Halo 3 did 3.3 million)

03. Assassin's Creed III (360, PS3, Wii U, PC) Ubisoft -2.9M (The previous three games did around 1.1-1.3 million in their opening month.)

05. Madden NFL 13 (360, PS3, Wii, PSV, Wii U) Electronic Arts

08. NBA 2K13 (360, PS3, Wii, PSP, Wii U, PC) Take-Two Interactive

09. WWE 13 (360, PS3, Wii) THQ

10. FIFA Soccer 13 (360, PS3, Wii, PSV, 3DS, Wii U, PSP) Electronic Arts


Hardware:

Xbox 360: 1.26M (-25.9%) - Nearly 2x every other console and more than Wii U + Wii combined.

Nintendo 3DS: 540K (-32.1%)

Nintendo Wii U: 425K Nintendo Wii: 420K (-51.1%)

Nintendo DS: 370K (+5.7%)

PlayStation Vita: 210K-225K


WOW. Wonder if 343 thought it was worth it. Killing the multiplayer identify trying to reach CoD like Sales, and yet Halo 4 managed to sell less. Note, Halo Reach had 16 (or 17?) Days and sold 3.3 million. Halo 3 had 3 (or 4?) Days and sold 3.3 million. Halo 4 had more days than both combined (24 days) and still sold less this month. Pathetic 343. I doubt 4 million played this game day one.

I think Halo 4 is good, I still play it, and I don't care how much they sell/don't sell.

  • 12.07.2012 7:25 AM PDT

What a waste....

The game feels empty to me whenever I go on. Reach and Halo 3 have those chill guys that stay, but 4... there are no custom games. No fun stuff.

Honestly? I think Halo is getting old. I honestly don't think Halo 4 would've been much better even if 343 hadn't CoD-ified it, the franchise has at core become stale.

What Halo really needed was a rest. 10 years or so without any games, then Halo 4 being announced as a launch title for Microsoft's 2022 console.

H4 sold more in its first week than Reach but not as much as H3.

To be fair, they decided to release it ONE WEEK before Black Ops 2 came out. To a lot of people, they can only afford one of the two and they had to decide which one they wanted first. If it had come out in September, like the previous Halo games, it probably would have sold more because there would be less competition.

Life will always find a new way to ruin everything you know, enjoy the moments of peace to their fullest and prepare yourself for the lemons that are heading your way and you might just make it.

I'm not mean. I don't troll. I like The Flood.

Halo 4 is evil.

Halo 3 honestly feels more empty to me. Reach feels too slow and too much bullcrap. Halo 4 feels just right. Halo 2 and CE feel very good too.

I don't know. I play Halo 4 and I have more fun looking at the menus rather than playing the actual game. It has no replay value.
I wonder if I turn in my copy to GameStop, do they lose money because they had to give me a store credit?

Halo 4 is ok but I can only play so much tbh.

I have to take several days away from the game. And no not because I am getting crushed. Have about 300 matches played with slayer being my most played game. Got a nice 2.0+ k/d.

I am just bored with it really. It could be so much more but 343 won't unleash it's potential for some dumb reason.

Don't cry about it OP.

It's a fantastic game, why should I care if it sold 3% less than Halo 3?

Sequels at launch sell off the hype the previous game built up. For Halo 3, that was Halo 2, for Reach, that was Halo 3, for Halo 4, that was Reach.

'nuff said.

" Opening week sales for Halo 4 are in. The game sold 3.1 million units in its first 24 hours and has gone on to sell 3,798,209 units in its first week according to VGChartz."

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

This. Halo will never be a killer-app again, because it's not new. Even if it is still fun, it's old news now. Eventually the same will happen with CoD, as soon as new-gen consoles come around it will evolve or die.

A good game doesn't necessarily have to make more money than its predecessors to still be classified as 'good'.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

That's what happens when you change an arena shooter to Halo Call of Modern of Black Space Marine pew pew pew sun glare dinosaurs.
