From neogaf:
"I've got more than a few Black Fridays under my belt. But they don't usually stack the releases quite like this.
Halo - CoD - Fallout 4 - Battlefront - Black Friday - Star Wars Movie 2 weeks later?
This is just like. Stupid. There's Holiday season, and then there's compression of franchise pressure. People swarm for the major games. But still. CoD came out, and Halo sales effectively stopped (Major, major hit). Fallout and CoD aren't really going to cannibalize each other in the same way, though to some degree I guess, while Battlefront will be interesting to see - Though Battlefront has a HUGE upswell of just major starwars geekdom behind it, not just big shooter fans. Tons of preorders for that.
But. yeah. This year in general is stacked in a way that feels kind of stupid. Tomb Raider has the worst fucking placement I've ever seen. Uncharted being delayed feels like a blessing. I don't know where it would fall that it would really nestle and niche without feeling impacted during this season."
Call of Duty basically killed/canablized Halo sales (might effect the "legs" halo has).
Tomb Raider isnt doing well.
Uncharted might be "lucky" it got delayed.
Insane levels of preorders for SW BF.

Sw bf is going to be massive. This game + fallout 4 will tide me over till uncharted 4 comes out.
