Sorry to disappoint some Xbox fans, but there is no COD BO2 bundle in USA. Halo 4 is the only bundled game and I don't see how will this boost sales since any one who likes to play Halo already owned an xbox in the past 7 years.

This is a fail comment on so many levels and shows that you have no idea what your talking about. 

How is it a failed comment?

 

Fact: No COD BO2 bundle for Xbox in USA

Fact: Most people who likes to play Halo already owns an Xbox

 

There is no doubt that Xbox will sell more this holiday in USA, but the difference wont be as big as people anticipate.

Fact: CoD games always move hardware even if their is no special bundle. 

Fact: Halo always moves hardware when a new game comes out maybe except Halo Wars. 

When this weeks Halo numbers come out we will see a sizeable jump thanks to Halo 4 and the same will happen with Black Ops 2 the following week. 

But with no special bundle CoD 360 will move about at many units as CoD PS3, so in terms of sales comparisons they would cancel each other out. 360 will sell more because of the USA thing, but not huge amounts more. I think perhaps the carryover Halo 4 effect and BO2 combined will mean a relatively steady sales rate. So 360:PS3 Halo week should be similar to 360:PS3 BO2 week.
