Think about it, Halo 5 guardians is going to be the destiny of 2015 next holiday season. |
I don't think the beta alone will make people get an Xbox One just like that. Also, you have to consider Destiny which is being made by the original people that made Halo as great as it is today. What if people start jumping ship from Halo to Destiny, especially when the PS4 has significantly larger marketshare and about a third of the PS4 userbase is Wii/360-only users? All Bungie needs to do is put "From the makers of the Halo series" in ads and the front of the gamebox. People will instantly recognize it and will want to buy Destiny. The Halo series, quality-wise, has been in decline since Halo 3. A lot of people were disappointed with Halo 4, the first Halo not made by Bungie.
Add onto the fact that Halo 5 is facing even tougher competition such as COD, Battlefield, and Homefront, it will definitely not be a cakewalk for Halo 5. This isn't to say Halo 5 won't sell well and not move hardware. If MS goes about this smartly, then it'll definitely sell a lot.
