Right now Titanfall just solidified that Microsoft is the prime FPS console. The hype died down majorly though. Halo's hype never dies down as fast as Titanfalls did. Halo 5 will kick things up a notch. I will be at midnight launch with my mountain dew and doritos, soaking in the media propaganda. Remember, Halo 5 is the original door buster game. Its the reason there are midnight releases.


Yes the XB1 is the prime console for FPS games but FPS games are not dominating all other Genres like they did last gen.

Unless Halo 5 is just amazing I think it sells around 7 mil lifetime.

Halo 3 sold over 12 mil

Halo 4 is just under 10 mil (and it had a massive userbase at its launch)

I think Halo 5 continues the downward trend especially since it wont launch to the same userbase that Halo 4 did.


Halo 3 sold that much because people hadn't played a new Halo in years and Halo 3 dropped in 2008 which was three years after the Xbox dropped. Gears of War became the new tag team partner for Halo until it launched. Those two games carried the 360 through everything. The Xbox One is selling faster than the 360 did, so the chances are that by Halo 6 the sales are going to be pretty big once more. Because of the fact that 360 gamers cannot touch Halo 5 it will force them to buy an Xbox One. The bundles will be out there and we all known how good Micorsoft is at selling bundles on Black Friday. Now imagine a black friday with a newly released Halo. Thats insane. I predict that Microsoft will sell etween 2.5-3 million Xboxes between November and december alone. Halo 5 will have 5 million by the end of the year and will over time continue to gain sales.
