Yeah, in the holidays, third party games and price are what moves consoles. Exclusives at quieter times of the year, like inFamous and Titanfall in March last year, give consoles a far bigger comparative boost compared to what exclsuives do in the holidays. Halo may be the only exception.

Ya its been that way for about 15 years now. Once MS has the Halo "bullet" once they fire it they dont have alot left. That said in the past it has been a mighty big bullet. I am curious to see how Halo 5 compares to Halo 3. Halo 3 was massive but it launched 2 months before the game changing CoD4. Halo 4 was launched on a install base that was massive so it was not a good indicator of how good a system seller Halo still is. When Halo 3 launched, the FPS world was Halo and then everyone else a long long way down. Halo 5 has alot more competition than 3 did.

Still expect Halo 5 to be massive, but it does have more competition than Halo 3 did like you said. Oct 27th release means it is likely to be out only a week before the next CoD.
