- X1 will win US for the year thanks mainly to a killer Q3-Q4 exclusive lineup that will include Halo 5, Crackdown 3, Forza 6, Fable Legends, Gears of War Collection, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Scalebound, and Quantum Break
- Half-Life 3 and The Last Guardian are both finally announced to be dead. Both studios announce new IPs.
- Wii U still takes last place, but sales will increase this Holiday and be more stable all next year due to a much more constant stream of big first party games. Momentum for the system will be strong heading into 2016.
- Microsoft elaborates on Minecraft plans, announcing 2-3 spinoff games for the franchise along with Minecraft 2
- Maybe one or two new looks at FFXV like we got this year, along with the demo. Release date still nowhere in site by year's end.
- Elder Scrolls 6 announced at E3 for release in 2016. People shocked to learn world size will be slightly smaller than Skyrim, so as to use next gen hardware to take the performance aspects to a whole new level for the franchise. This includes graphics that will truly live up to the "next gen" monikor and blow people away.
- God of War "reboot" announced for PS4, with whole new characters and new mythology (gonna guess Norse). Story will end up tying into the original series, but that will be kept a tightly guarded secret until release.
- The Order is a massive critical failure scoring below 60 on Meta, and isn't a sales "flop" but doesn't meet expectaions.
- Uncharted 4 delayed to late 2016 as the GOW reboot acts as the premier Sony Holiday 2015 exclusive instead.
- Sony rests on the PS4 momentum too much, finally leading to the system losing a lot of its momentum during Q4 when Wii U and X1 both present much stronger Holiday lineups
- Star Fox and Zelda both are not delayed and hit Holiday release.
- Super Mario Galaxy 3D sequel announced for New 3DS exclusively, released Q4.
- Majora's Mask HD announced for Wii U for release in 2016
- New Nintendo IP announced at E3. Metroid still MIA by year's end.
