It can break between two to three million LTD in Europe imho since this is the first Halo. Also, Bungie didn't abandon Halo after three, they also made that Reach game which I consider the Gears Judgement of the Halo franchise. ODST was the last expansion they dropped before they left as well. No offense to them and thanks for the creation of Halo, but I see 343 taking this very far.They are much better at telling an actual story as well as keeping up the integrity of the gameplay. As a person who loves story games because of Sony I can attest to this. Personal feelings aside though, Halo will take the west after October 27. The question is for how long? Sony's biggest franchise is coming nearly five months after Halo and Tomb Raider drop. That will be another game that people who cannot wait for either Uncharted (or waiting a year to hit the PS4) will pick up. Ontop of having a $50 price differential between the two consoles once again, it will prove very useful.

I still remember people had no dubts in their minds that august was a sure thing to, with rare replay, gears remaster and the $500 40" tv + and x1 bundle, then look what npd told us on that prediction.

So I would advise you to not rush to the conclusion that one game will change eveything, remember that nintendo always preached that and look at them now. And last year the bundles and pricecut was insane with the x1, all sony did was add GTA5. Asuming it will be the same this year is another thing you should be carefull with.

I said fourth quarter in the US though and most definitely November and december in the west. Sony has the rest of the year outside of the fourth quarter in the states, generally speaking, but fourth quarter tends to bring larger sales than any other month in the states anyway so Microsoft isnt a slouch either.

Nintendo has nothing to preach about if they dont have a one hit wonder console and lack third party. He who has the majority of the third party holds the power. Nintendo has forgotten what its like to truly rule the industry since the late eighties and early nineties.
