I got PS3 for Jak and Daxter...

I think there will be a lot of Halo fans who have seen no reason to get into next gen yet. So far they've been able to satisfy all of their FPS needs on 360. Look at Destiny sales on 360 vs Xb one (VGC data...I know, I know) 360 is 59% of Xb one. Compare that to the PS3/4 split of just 29%. CoD sales on Last gen hardware are still well over 3 million (both consoles), and again the 360/Xb one split is very close, 84%, which is a much higher ratio than PS3/4. I think it's quite possible for Halo to shift (globally worldwide) 1 million extra Xb one's this year, IF it can hit 5 million+ before the end of the year.

I'm assuming Halo will move consoles, and Microsoft will see healthy sales, I'm just curious how healthy they'll be.  I'm just happy Sony got a better start than last gen, heck, I'd be ok if all 3 were neck and neck in sales.

I was expecting the 8th gen to be pretty even. But when you think about it the 7th gen ended up being very even. All the consoles are going to end up with market share in the 30% range. That was with Sony doing very badly out of the gate, and with Nintendo having amazing sales in its early years. If MS and Nintendo hadn't made bad decisions we might well have had a second very even generation.
