To be fair Halo: Reach had covered two weeks in the month rather than Halo 5's four days.
As for Halo 3, the only reason I see Halo 5 being weaker in sales is PS4. Halo 3 released nine months after PS3. Ps3 had a high price tag, and the 360 was the affordable option so they pretty much had the upper hand. Now things are different, PS4 is massive competition. Pretty much, this i think would be one of the most effective factors.
It's really an incentive for you to make the jump. Allowing you to sell or trade in your 360 for an Xbox one, knowing you'd still be able to play the games you already own (Depending if it's one of the games eligible)
If they sold north of 3.7 Million in the first week of sales they basically did break the record for biggest Halo Launch. That definitely is fantastic.
Where did they say merchandise? Only games and hardware. also they did this for the previous launches too, they've always announced the gross first.

The scores fluctuate during release. Hence the "Currently Stands"
"This game is all over the place with reviews"
Not really most of them have been very positive. It currently stands on 87 on metacritic.
It's as it stands 87 on metacritic, That's pretty great to be honest. Completed the game, just last night. It's pretty awesome, not the best in terms of campaigns but it was definitely satisfying and fun.
Live in East London mate. Played the game for an hour last night 3 missions in, it's absolutely fun.

They always get it delivered 3 days before release. Price was great too. Cost me £36

Holy Shit, that looks amazing!
Key word: "I think"
He never said they would, he's just reflecting on what Sony have done in the past.
"His real motive is to plant the seed in gamers minds that now is not the best time to purchase a PS4, but that they should hold off and wait further down the line for a possible price cut, that may or may not happen. He attempts the subterfuge by trying to make it sound like we are all winners in the end with lower prices"
Wow, you're reading way too much into it. It's just his comment on a question asked by journalist. Don't understand why fanboy's...
Looks pretty sweet!
Also just realised all the Limited Edition items are inspired by Spartan Locke and not Master Chief (Apart from the LE controller). Hope they're not hinting towards a character transition.
Apart from that can't wait until the 27th Oct!

He means by set pieces, meaning by sections of game play. Thuway is massive fan. In now world he'd say the visuals are better on an Xbox game.
By set pieces, he doesn't mean graphically. He means by sections of game play. Thuway is a massive PS fan boy. He would never state it's better graphically.

The ones i mentioned are also on 360. Most of the PS4 games shown in the list that i have not mentioned are Console exclusives and some also on PC.
This is just my estimation but I think the game must have sold much more than this figure states. MS announced it was a $400m Launch, even if they sold 300k consoles world wide that week that'd estimate to $120m.
So the rest of the $280m has to be made by the games, to make that much they'd have to sell 4.7m copies of the game but of course this is a lot of the copies and i'm just estimating but i definitely think the numbers are north of 2.8m.
