No people are asking you for clarification you can't give. Instead of just saying the article you quoted is unclear you're trying to pretend like that clarification doesn't matter. It actually does because all of us can easily come up with ways to pad those copies sold numbers to make them more flattering than they actually are. Things like:
Counting the download of free to play iOS and Android games as a sale.
Counting the individual skus of each Halo game that comprise the MCC as a sale.
Counting the copies downloaded from Game Pass as a sale.

You seem to be unable to clarify if any of that was done. You just gulp down the flattering PR slosh you're given and start jewlezing about others not doing the same.
They literally said SALES.

You came with all the dumb shyt.

I don’t have to disprove all of your random dumb shyt. When a clear and concise statement from the company says SALES.

Assuming a significant portion of Halo sales between 2012 and 2021 were old ass xbox 360 games is what’s dumb.

But stupidity is usually what y’all fall back on when reality doesn’t feel good to you:mjlol:


Saying 343 sold 35 million copies of halo while not having any actual numbers is dumb. it’s even dumber to say saying 35 million copies of 6+ games is more than 37 million copies of 5* games

I posted the numbers. Yall are in denial. Like a MAGA cac looking at trump election numbers.

@winb83 “bu bu but what about mail in ballots”
@Instant Classic ”Stop the steal”
@Gizmo_Duck ”I demand a recount”
@Legal ”the machines are rigged”

Sony stans :mjlol:

Sales of which exact games? You don't even know the specific titles that make up that number or the SKUs they used.

Show of hands does anybody other than Meach think Microsoft possibly double-dipping on sold copies by dicing up The MCC into individual DLCs of games and using those as a copy when it was really released as a single title is something beyond what they'd do to reach a number of over 80 million copies sold? Does it sound dumb?

End of the day Microsoft is in a better financial position than Sony ever will be in and you not hearing about Sony laying off 95 members of the Naughty Dog team. In other words Microsoft doesn't have to layoff anybody from 343. They can easily afford to keep all of the team and if they're so successful you'd think they would.

they fired half the studio and all the top execs in charge of it for the past decade have either resigned or also been fired.

But yes, according to Meach everything is fine and everyone is lying. 343 is doing fine, even the devs that worked at 343 are lying about halo

It’s pretty telling that all of you took a different angle to try to discredit reality.

Gizmo says it don’t count cause it was 6 games vs 5
Legal says it was probably sales of Halo 2
winb says it was sales of the FTP mobile game that didn’t even exist inflating the numbers
Instant classic just says fukk that shyt, the numbers i remember in my head are more accurate.

Common thread is, y’all just WANT the numbers to be wrong cause it goes against the “reality” you’ve already created for yourselves.

nikkas crazy :wow:

I didn’t say that though, even in the best case scenario your entire argument is false to begin with. You said it outsold the TLOU series at 35 million copies, if we assume those are all 343 games, TLOU was reported at 37 million.

The Franchise.

There were no individual DLCs.

Only one that sounds dumb is you :mjlol:

ND literally had the same thing happen. They had literally THOUSANDS of devs working on TLOU2. You think they are still paying those thousands of people to sit around and NOT work on TLOU3??

It’s the cycle of game dev.


You ramp up near release then let people go after release. Literally EVERY game does this.

Only one game inspires such doom and gloom based on very normal actions.

What games are and aren't included in that number? What counts as a game? If someone went on Steam and bought a section of the MCC is that a copy sold of just a piece of DLC? What about the game released on Windows phone? Does that count as a copy sold too?

When Sony says they sold X copies of The Last of Us there are 2 games in that series. One of the games was released in 3 versions and the other game has a single version that's it.

When Microsoft says the Halo series sold X copies who the hell knows what's counted as a copy sold and what isn't.

Infinite is not included in the 35 i’ve repeated this now multiple times. You even said it yourself.

But somehow, someway, we are here pretending you don’t know that :mjlol:

How many hypothetical copies has infinite sold? Maybe 500k?

TLOU is still selling today as well so i doubt it has caught up. One series is trending down and the other is trending up

You can’t just buy a section of MCC and there is no DLC to buy.
When Sony says they sold X copies of The Last of Us there are 2 games in that series. One of the games was released in 3 versions and the other game has a single version that's it.
There’s been bundles, giveaways, It’s been on PSnow. Steam sales, PS+, DLC releases, etc

But y’all ain’t acting confused and demanding clarification there.
When Microsoft says the Halo series sold X copies who the hell knows what's counted as a copy sold and what isn't.
They also said the games sold have generated 3+ billion dollars.

So if you wanna pretend to be confused over which games sold, Just know it was $3Billion+ worth of them shyts
