7.7 million UK pounds, to be exact
Halo 5: Guardiansgrossed £7.7 million on day one in the UK, Microsoft has announced.
Halo 5entered in pole position in the UK chart, selling twice as many copies asAssassin’s Creed Syndicate, and twice as many as 343 Industries’ previousHalogame,Halo: Master Chief Collection.
While we don’t have the exact unit sales — nor the financials from anyplace else yet, either — apparently the latest Master Chief adventure grossed more on its opening day than the latest James Bond movie,Spectre, which made “only” £6.3 million.
We gaveHalo 5: Guardiansa 7, stating that “if it weren’t for Warzone,Halo 5: Guardianswould probably be somewhere on the lower end of the franchise spectrum.”
“It’s still a fantastic and well-oiled machine, but the story falls flat, and the shift in gameplay mechanics result in the loss of some elements that made the series so unique in the first place. Still, if you’re looking to shoot some dudes online,Guardiansis your huckleberry.”
