People are really underestimating the Halo effect and the X1 bundles. I think X1 is set up pretty well for the holiday and MS have their strategy ready to go. Mark my words we will see a $300 X1 this holiday with the Lego game bundles and Gears bundle. Fallout bundle for $350 and we might even see the Halo LE bundle down to $400.

Halo will just sell consoles, huge amounts of consoles. People are very quick to call these bundles failures before they release. Nobody really preorders bundles unless they are LE bundles like the PS4 Blops, Star Wars and TTK bundles. The bundles with just an extra game wont really have an effect until release.

I really have no idea how the holidays will go but my money is on the X1 just because of Halo and MS aggressive black friday deals.

You are contradicting yourself and proving my point by saying the bundles will get price cuts,which means the price will be the selling factor and not the games themselves or Halo.Black Friday is irrelevant when the COD bundle and the BF bundle will sell at regular price all month and I am sure they will have sales as well on BF as usual.The original Destiny bundle was pre-ordered early along with the standard Batman bundle btw.

I'm not contradicting myself. Black Friday is a month after Halo 5. Halo 5 will push a lot of consoles before BF. The Halo Bundle is priced to make room for a price cut on purpose for a second major boost on BF. In fact all their bundles are overpriced to increase the perception on value when they inevitable cut they price.

MS know exactly what they want to achieve, they just don't always pull it off.
