Hopefully he's talking about AC...
I don't think it's just AC. He hinted at Halo 5 selling under 1 million twice.

 Halo 5 selling under 1 million is hard to believe. It's not impossible, but that will be a ridiculous decline.

 
Very disappointing. Barely over 10% attach rate must be a bit of a shock to everyone

I'd hate to say it, but good.  MS needs to step their game up and stop relining on decade old games to carry their brand. Halo dieing might just be the best thing that could happen to xbox and their fans. They might get some great new ip's if MS is hungry enough.

I'm slightly less certain.  
MS doesn't seem to care as much as they used to.

It absolutely sucks that Halo is dying in quality, but yeah decreasing sales is kinda what Microsoft is asking for. Halo 4, Halo MCC, and now Halo 5 have done so much harm to the brand.

I was banned because Halo 5 flopped.

It is even worst.

Sub 1m is dad.

Makes me wonder if Gears 4 will face the same fate. Its reveal at E3 was lukewarm and remember the "YouTube views" thread DD_Bwest made? The video is below 1 million views. Heck, it hasn't even exceeded 600K views...

Oh man this is bad news for Gears. 343 has soured the idea of passing off franchises to new developers.

I'd bet gears flops too. Passing of a franchises to another developer has never worked. At least I can't think of a time it did. I'd also be willing to be that QB does better than gears. They need fresh blood, They've run every franchise they got into the ground.

VGChertz is in denial about Halo 5 lol.

 What if it is real pr disguised as false by claiming to be right?

 
What if it wasn't actually all that far off? And what if that calc was spot on for a different platform? The possibilities are kind of nuts.
