Hi,
A topic to follow Halo 5's performances around the world.
Here are a few analysis (don't forget that VGC only track retail sales and not digital ones, which can represent different percentages of the sales depending on games, up to 25% I've read):
1. US: With 930,385 units sold on week 1, it is the third best US launch on Xbox One after Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (1,346,703) and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (1,034,718).
2. UK: with 157,895 units sold in 5 days it is only the 7th best launch on One after FIFA 16 (345,473 in 3 days), Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (287,421), Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (231,977 in 5 days), FIFA 15 (217,381 in 3 days), Grand Theft Auto V (166,151 in 5 days) and Destiny (159,262 in 5 days).
3. France: 3rd best opening on One (56k) after FIFA 16 (93k) and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (73k).

6. Europe: with 362k it is the 4th best launch on One after FIFA 16 (695k), Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (511k) and FIFA 15 (461k). Not bad.
