'Halo 5,' 'Star Wars Battlefront': Underperforming or digital sales underestimated?


No need to panic: Analysts widely believe that GameStop was likely underselling the digital sales of 'Halo 5'.

LOS ANGELES: Videogame retailer GameStop reported that new software sales were down 9.3% for the third quarter versus last year and that many high-profile games were underperforming. 

But games like Halo 5, Assassin's Creed Syndicate and the newly released Star Wars Battlefront may just be suffering from an underestimation of how much digital sales are driving their bottom line.
