I advise you to see what the consoles sell in July/august and you will find out it is the worst time of the year to sell consoles, the consoles already see a sales bump in september and October and a huge one in November/december...  The XBO will release in september in a lot of new countries, has a lot of third party support and has some decent exclusive games that will bump up the sales aswell.

The only kind of games that move consoles are really hyped ones, and/or masterpieces. Everything else will mostly sell to the current user-base (Every Wii U game before 3D World, for example). The only game that really fits the bill is Destiny and the Masterchief Collection. I don't really see Destiny moving much consoles though, since the PS4 version gets more attention (Like Watch Dogs, for example. But of course Destiny will move more Xbox One's than Watch Dogs did).

As for the Masterchief Collection, I'm not sure. It could be anywhere between Mario Kart 8 level system-seller to something like Titanfall.

Well that is why I called decent exclusives not great exclusives (possible great in quality and content though)..  

MCC collection can sell between 1-3 million this year but I can't point out how much...  I only know their are a lot of halo fans out their...And when X360 was 2 years old and already had a lot of games Halo 3 created a high sales bump (ofcourse MCC will not reach that level)...

Anyway worst case scenario:

July = the last two weeks = another 100K XBO sold

August = except some indies , metro collection and Dance central (if it release in August) their is not much to boost sales = 200K sold

September = Sales typicall bump up already let say 20% compared to August, then it also release in +10-20 countries and has some third party games + forza horizon 2 and a bundle for 399 that includes Forza 5 and Fifa 15 =  300 K sold

October = Sales bump higher, a lot of third party games release and Sunset overdrive release and project spark (not sure about the last one) = 400 K sold

November =  Sales bump a lot higher, black friday, the holiday shopping starts, MCC collection release = 800K sold

December = typicall massive sales  1.200K sold

Worst case scenario = 3 million = 8 million sold LTD..;

be free to quote me and say why it could not be possible..
