Halo 4 is not a system seller guys, surely you would know this by now, same as Call of Duty.

There's already 6 Halo games on the X360 and 7 Call of Duty, why would the 7th Halo game or 8th CoD game bring in new people??

Go look at when Pokemon Black and White 2 came out for the DS it sold almost 2 million in japan alone first week and the DS went from selling 1000 units the week prior to 1600 units when B&W2 came out.

When your this late in the gen the only system sellers are actually new ip's or a game that has yet to be on the system.

Halo 4 Limited 360s WILL sell. That is an example of a game selling a system. COD 360 bundle last year........nuff said. 

"why would the 7th Halo game or 8th CoD game bring in new people??"

Like I said before but you seemed to ignore......yesterdays kids are todays teens. Its no secret a part of COD and Halo gamers are teens, hell even younger. The world goes on and grows up. Then theres also current gamers just swept up in the media blitz or get the game because their buddies got it. Plenty ways to bring in new gamers to existing franchises. 

The DS is last gen now so bad example. 

Historicall, new IPs late in the gen actually sales flop rather then sell systems. "Blockbusters" sell systems more then anything else. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
