Too early to be making that kind of assumption.

2 to 1 sales will never repeat for the foreseeable future in the USA.

XOne won NPD last december and sales where close in November. PS4 has no major exclusive these hollydays.

The only reason it was close was because the PS4 was sold out.

May be, but it wouldn´t have sold twice more.

shit man,.. halo 5 is over a year away. i'm not committing to anything that far down the road. for all we know xbox could be $99 by then.

This, way to far away.

I think you forget that essentially every major Halo title comes with a limited edition console. People seem to be under impression that Destiny bundles will sell like hotcakes, but seem to forget the Halo LE bundles, and how quick THOSE fly off. Never mind the legendary editions of the game etc. Imo provided the standard # of bundles they do, it should do 200-250k in the launch week alone, with the software effect spread over the following weeks.

But bit pointless making this prediction 15 months in advance, so much shit in between.


Do you know something everyone else doesn't?  There has been no announcement of a "special edition" XB1.  Why?  Because MS overproduced the base model.  That's why there was no "Titanfall Edition" XB1, and that is why they won't make a Halo XB1...they are still sitting on too many unsold base models.

rofl

sure they are sitting on 10 million consoles right now

they have to clear the whone inventory until november 2015

 

i would like to see the warehouse with 10 million xbox ones :D

and even if u thouht we talk about halo mcc (november 2014 release not next year)

ms is not sitting on that many xbox one, that they dont have to ship any new console until november

 

 

or maybe ur post was a joke ?

Do we have a release date for Halo 5? Shouldn't we be talking about the Halo Collection?



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

Will soon enough, X1 drops hard after every big bump be it holidyas TF and now new SKU.

Xbox survived by the virtue of PS4 being no wher in sight,PS4 would have tripled its sales if there was stock.

Neither does X1.
