Since Halo led to barely a win with Sony doing little to nothing that month, a full month of a $249 PS4 is most likely going to lead to a big win for Sony. For one, Gears isn't Halo. And two, the sales of the XBO Slim are going to start to decrease, since it will have already been out for 2 months.

Not to mention the overlapping of fanbases that Gears and Halo obviously share, so the people who bought the console for Halo, will likely be the same people who buy Gears. 

There are people who are both Halo and Gears fans but there are still lots of gears fans who may not like Halo.

Last gen during the Halo 3 launch month(Sept 2007) the xbox 360  sold ars ound 530k and during the Gear 3 month(Sept 2011) The xbox 360 sold around 480k so there are still a lot of Gears fans who dont have an xbox one.
