: It was ~5M at 3 months.

: To compare, WW sales of Halo 3 were between 5 million and 8 million in the

: the media reported on. So that's nice.

Awesome to finally get some numbers from somebody, and honestly, I think there is still the opportunity to see Halo 5 experience continued growth with a 'repackaging' of what has been made available so far with DLC updates and 'something new'.

Add some kind of side story campaign mode or expansion (or even a huge multiplayer map pack), package it together with the base game and profit.

Anyway, for a console exclusive in this day and age, I don't see how you could place Halo 5 anywhere but in the success category.
