| BillyBong said: so.. again, drop your 360 and backlog for an xb1 and the same games you already have and a much much less backlog? And as for MP, do you realize how fragmented the MP community will be because each game will have their own separate MP component? If MCC is only great because of Halo2's MP, then why not just a remake of Halo 2 and not fragment the community. All this is redundant.. I see the value for new gamers. For "older/core/faithful" gamers like yourself, this is a slap in the face to rebuying what you already have because it's prettier.. then again, it's not like Halo was known for being pretty games, so like Titanfall.. you are buying it for MP... but not like Titanfall, it's 4 games with different MP... which kills the community aspect, once again. |
People are letting their nostalgia get the better of them. For the most part, this collection won't appeal to the mainstream that make Halo so huge. It's going to sell very well, but it won't move systems. Titanfall was supposed to do the same thing and it couldn't. People just don't learn to temper their expectations and come November NPD, will once more have an eye opener.
Here's how I predict the year will go:
- SO will increase X1 sales. NPD Comes out, PS4 still on top, X1 sales Slightly boosted
- Halo Collection will Increase sales. NPD comes out, PS4 still on top, X1 sales slightly boosted, nothing to write home about
- QB will increase sales. NPD comes out, PS4 on top, X1 sales slightly boosted.
Only one game will signifanctly boost X1 sales, and it's not coming out till next year, that's Halo 5.
The Destiny bundle is already number 3 on Amazon, people are expecting way, way too much out of the Halo collection. Get a grip guys or you'll be disappointed!
No matter how many exclusives Sony put out, they never got around the 360 last gen. It's similar for MS this gen, they screwed up, Halo 5 is coming in too late.
