Is Halo still big enough to save the X1?

It's so weird seeing how ill-informed so many people on this site are considering the sales/popularity of video games are the main reasons to come to this site over others.

1. Halo is a much bigger franchise than GT even if most of its sales come from the US. It doesn't depend on bundling to sell 10m+, only GT3 would've achieved such sales without bundling.

Halo is a very heavily bundled title in Europe. Halo 5 will be no different.

Gran Turismo is a much bigger franchise in gaming and more of a system seller outside of Japan. However, as per my post above, a lot of people will buy the console purely for Gran Turismo and so even if it is bundled in, it's something that would have been bought with the console either way to a lot of GT players.

As for the OT, Halo will give the system a nice bump in the US, but they're going to have to find something that actually appeals to European gamers to have any chance of competing here.
