Fact is that Halo is obviously not moving X1s, so there is no reason to believe that it would move XBOXs.

Are you ignoring my other comment? Whatever you say.

Sadly, Halo is in decline. Sales have been in decline since reaching it's height with Halo 3... The Master Chief Collection was a massive failure, absolutely terrible game.

Some sales for Halo 5 were digital, so there isn't really a decline when you consider that and no TMCC sold 3 million plus so it isn't a terrible game.

Maybe it will come with a breaking plate simulator in 4k? :o the possibilities

And yeah... this E3 started off talking about the GB memory bandwidth of the Xbox 1 X.... absolutely lost the casual gamer from that point forward imo, they just don't have a clue what gamers want or it seems if they do know what gamers want, they're unwilling to change their creed to sell to that customer which is a shame because the X360 was a machine for the gamers really and the X1 just seems to be powered by a corporate meeting rather than anyone with an interest in gaming. The thought that Forza in 4k is going to shift consoles too is just a joke when you think that there is already 5 Forza games on the system, is the 6th one really going to be the turning poing for the machine? is this really expected to be the Breath of the Wild for the system?

What are you talking about there is nothing wrong with them talking about the GB bandwidth at the start. They only talk about that for only a few minutes then went to the games starting with the Forza Motorsport 7 reveal. The Forza franchise is good there are still people that are going to buy X1 for Forza not to mention there are likely bundles for it (as well as other games to).

Do you really think there is someone who would buy an X1 for Forza... who hasn't already bought the machine?

Sure.... there might be customers who want to buy a console for Forza... but if they haven't bought the system for the first 5 Forza titles on it, what in the world makes you think this 6th Forza game on the X1 will be the one which makes them finally take the leap?
