: That goes to show that your friends may not be indicative of the actual
: reason it's a 1/4 of what all other Halos did in the first month.

: I certainly think it'd be really interesting to analyze some surveys for why
: the 3/4 didn't buy Halo 5 within the first month, but I have little to no
: interest in you conflating knowing some friends who didn't buy it because
: some feature like Forge or Campaign Theatre wasn't included at launch, as
: proof of anything aside from which features your group of friends prefer.

When did I say my friends? I said we all have friends. The internet, and people here are rife with these stories. That of course is not a scientific analyze, but it really doesn't need to be. When Halo 4 pisses people off, MCC is broken and never fully fixed, and then you remove features, you are going to lose half of your people. It doesn't give us percentages, but it's clear that is a HUGE reason for it.
