I don't think XB1 won't reach the first xbox install base Halo 2 did more then 8 millions on 24 millions install base so how can you expect only 8m. Gran turismo 3 did more then Gran turismo 4 in a smaller install base ,God of war and Metal gear solid did better on ps3 then on ps2 despite a 70 millions difference in install base it's mean bigger install base dosn't always mean less sales for IP |
The fact that Halo 2 did more than 8 million on a 24 million install base has nothing to do with the 7th or 8th generation where Halo is no longer the top selling FPS, in fact, its not even half of what the top selling FPS sells.
It's true that smaller install base doesn't always mean a title will sell less than its previous counterpart but having a larger install base is one of the best ways of obtaining larger sales. There are other variables like marketing and metacritic/reviews but if you don't have a large enough install base then the games are not going to sell as well as previous generations especially considering how much more competitive this industry is compared to the 6th generation where all Xbox had for online was pretty much Halo.
