I'm still curious to see how many consoles Halo 5 moves, versus how many people who've already picked up an XB1 specifically for Halo and are ok with waiting.  Not that I'm downplaying the Halo effect, at all.  I just know that certain individuals like certain console exclusive IP so much they'll just buy the console outright and wait for the IP they want to launch (GT5 was why I got a launch PS3...I was fine with waiting).  It'll be interesting for sure.

I got PS3 for Jak and Daxter...

I think there will be a lot of Halo fans who have seen no reason to get into next gen yet. So far they've been able to satisfy all of their FPS needs on 360. Look at Destiny sales on 360 vs Xb one (VGC data...I know, I know) 360 is 59% of Xb one. Compare that to the PS3/4 split of just 29%. CoD sales on Last gen hardware are still well over 3 million (both consoles), and again the 360/Xb one split is very close, 84%, which is a much higher ratio than PS3/4. I think it's quite possible for Halo to shift (globally worldwide) 1 million extra Xb one's this year, IF it can hit 5 million+ before the end of the year.

I'm assuming Halo will move consoles, and Microsoft will see healthy sales, I'm just curious how healthy they'll be.  I'm just happy Sony got a better start than last gen, heck, I'd be ok if all 3 were neck and neck in sales.
