Shouldn't the same be said for twitch views then? Because we all know Halo is and always has been a system seller.

Twitter: Most tweeted games of E3 (One wasnt officially at E3. But we get the idea)

You do know that the sheer cadence of tweets surrounding Halo doesn't equate to high positive sentiment.
Elden Ring is going to be a massive success, isn't it? There isn't a developer more deserving of that success than From Software too. They're just about the only devs where I have complete faith the game will live up to its hype.
I wish someone out there tracked trophy stats before a game goes on PS+, and Achievement stats before a game goes on Game Pass (for games where that's possible). The dropoff can be immense.
I remember the completion percentage for XCOM2 was about 20% when I started playing it on PS+, and by the time I finished it a month later it was below 10%. And I recently played Lonely Mountains Downhill on Game Pass, and just by putting in a dozen hours I was getting a bunch of rare Achievements that were below 1%.
Probably more systems than Super Mario 3D World sold for the Wii U.
Does that mean Mario is not a system seller?
I've been thinking the same. Yeah I'm looking forward to it. I got very little out of what was shown.
Tbf Halo's multiplayer will be F2P. It'll likely have a lot more people on that as a result plus it being on 3 different platforms.
Nah, 20 million is a pipe dream. It won't even hit 10 million.
I don't think GRRM's input makes any difference in projected sales, tbh.
it's usually best to pick a really early mandatory trophy and work out the % as a fraction of that, that way you're getting an idea of how many got the trophy out of those that gave the game a fair shot.
so many people buy games, launch them, then decide they will play it properly another day. Them being free massively increases that number of people, but many do it after dropping $60 too.
And what are you basing this on versus any of the other top five? Halo seemed to get a lot of positive reactions from any of the E3 media I consumed.
the reaction to infinite's e3 showing was mostly positive.
While it's definitely important that Halo is in the top 5, I'm going to pump the brakes on the hyperbole of it. No shot it's as popular as it was back during the original trilogy....and guess what, it doesn't have to be. This proves it's still popular in its own right and will certainly be a Game Pass seller, if not a system seller.
And I imagine that's exactly where the Xbox team wants it to be.

It will hit 10m and beyond IF its a better souls game than dark souls 3 or far better.
You're underestimating the hype engine for the game. It did wonders for Cyberpunk even though that game post release didn't prove to be even close to deserving the hype. These games have a pretty dedicated fanbase that seems to be growing with each entry. There's a lot of hunger for a new Souls game that even Sekiro couldn't Satisfy.
Elden Ring is going to Sell and its going to sell amazingly well at launch. Its gonna go well past Dark Souls 3's Launch Record.
elden ring is gonna be very successful but i don't see it hitting 10 mil either. maybe 7, 8 (which would still be an amazing result).
Souls games are impenetrable to an average audience. If you understand half of what they spout and show in a trailer, you are automatically in because you speak the language. That audience only grows, sure, but over 10 million? Color me highly skeptical.
At launch or Lifetime?
If we're talking about Launch then yeah i don't think so but lifetime iam 100% confident if its a better than more than 10M for sure... and the last Multiplat Souls game sold 10m just after 4 years..
Dark Souls 3 Sold 10m+ after 4 years.
A bigger and better game can do even better as Souls games have shown that the audience is only growing.
DSIII hit 10 million sold copies, didn't it? Elden Ring can get very close (or a bit above) that number. It's been 5 years since last FromSoft rpg. People are thirsty.
Dark Souls is, and has been, one of the "big boys" since 3 came out. No surprise Elden Ring has tons of hype and it'll definitely be a 10m+ seller.
Yeah iam not sure if people are even aware that Dark Souls 3 passed 10m after 4 years. Its only natural to think that the supposedly better and bigger entry will do better Lifetime.
I mean, I might bite because it's different. I never played a Souls before 3. You're probably right long term, though.
I mean, Battlefield is a juggernaut these days. Makes sense, no?
Right so i do think it'll do a much better launch than 3 too but its hard to estimate for me.
Didn't Dark Souls 3 sell over 10 million? I don't see why Elden Ring can't do the same. It's much more hyped than Dark Souls 3.
lifetime. i don't think it's gonna get to the heights of darks souls, but i'd love to be wrong.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. However I regret to inform you that I changed it back.
Cool. All it needs is to be better than the previous ones cause all it needs to be is a Souls game even while it tries to do ambitious shit.
Anyways I hope to be proven right (cause i really want these games to sell more! lol).
Yep, Forza Horizon is bigger than many people think based on MAU and player count.
Some of the biggest franchises in gaming for sure. Breath of the Wild 2 is so hyped, its launch will be a huge event
multiple people here have said nobody cares about elden ring outside of the era bubble.
despite dark souls 3 selling over 10M and Sekiro, one of the most difficult and 'impenetrable' games on the market, selling 5M.
This seems a much more accurate metric for game "buzz" than that other one that skewed Nintendo heavy in most top slots.
If I remember correctly, Splatoon 1 on Wii U and Halo 5 sold more or less similar.
Quite a few.
But any system seller still needs the system itself to be attractive. Otherwise Wii U would have been a huge success with the likes of Smash Bros and Mario Kart. And you wouldn't argue they're not system sellers.
Splatoon 2 sold 12.21 million as of March this year. Halo 3, the best selling Halo game, is at 14.5 million as of 2012. I think given the current context, it will be a pretty close race as to their lifetime sales.
