Microsoft's problem is halo is too big for their other exclusives to have a big impact at retail. Forza horizon 2 and sunset overdrive last year were very good games but failed to chart in npd while the mcc performed well.
Now same thing, halo will dominate while Forza 6 and tomb raider are crushed under it's weight. So while Microsoft may have the superior exclusive lineup this holiday, it won't matter much as most ppl will simply ignore the other games for halo 5. Not to mention big third-party titles like COD and fallout 4.
Square enix probably wishing they never made that deal now.

Yes I'm sure they are.... they are regreting every wad of MS cash they are stuffing into their vault.

While the money may have been good, I'm sure square enix would rather not have the game bomb at retail and instead grow the fan base and the the franchise to be more profitable in future sequels.
I'm sure that's better in the long run.

It just shows what complete bullshit it is when the developers say they want to take the franchise forward and MS/Sony are great partners for helping us achieve our vision. The fact is they are happy to sacrifice the franchise for a short term cash injection. Bloody pathetic. Lets hope it does well enough once it's finally on 3 platforms so that this ill conceived deal doesn't kill the franchise completely.
The Nathan Drake Collection seems to be getting some love. I wonder if it has a shot at getting into the NPD top 10. That would be impressive.
