He is a master at it... as someone said, don't try to discuss with someone (words that can't be written here), because when you descend to his level you'll lose, because he is an expert in that level.

No one said the game is dead. What we are saying is that since Halo 5 already launched on the console (and MCC before) there is little to reason to expect a big boost from Halo 6 (even if it sold 10M). You try to find illogical things to defend a point that is impossible to defend.

I would bet that if we go back further enough we can find other predictions of yours like X1 obliterating PS4 in sales, or that after DX12 came to X1 it would be stronger than PS4 and it would outsell it.

And no, being the 3rd best selling doesn't mean much at all. PS3 is still the third best selling Playstation, still it isn't regarded as a sucess. And was a decline on PS HW sales.

No one also said Halo 6 is certain to sell less than Halo 5, but that Halo is on a decline tendency (that may have a small up bump), so it's more reasonable to expect it to not give a big boost than for it to give a big boost.

But please enlighten us with your expectations for X1 sales, X1X sales, and how much of a boost will SoT and Halo 6 give (separately)... like weekly sales on month X to Y will be about Z and after Halo 6 they will bump to W.

Because that is what SYSTEM SELLERS do. They raise the weekly sale baseline for a susteined time, or give a very big bump in a few weeks. That is basically also what price cuts does. you compare the average sale of let's say the year before, then see how much it sold in the 2-4 weeks after the price cut to see the punctual boost, and then monitor the other 30 weeks to see how much the baseline improved.

And looking at that the bump given by SoT and Halo 6 will be neglible.

Gran Turismo is still expected to be a system seller (GT5 sold over 12M and GT6 over 5M), but I don't expect GT Sport to improve PS4 sales by more than 1M on itself even if it cross 10M SW sold. And that is because the platform is already mature (even if no other GT have released).

I doubt very much that SoT will sell more than Forza, but does year releases of Forza boost X1 sales? Nope. The first FM and FH already gave the boost the franchise would give.

What logic is that based calendar only?

So Switch being weaker than X1 is on a next generation against it, but X1X running exactly the same games (back and forward compatibility) is alone in the gen against Switch? And how that makes it fair?

No mate, i think it's just funny your negatively towards the X1 brand. You want to know the truth? I couldnt care less if Xbox sells extremly well or not. However unlike you and others in this thread i dont labelled the impossible. Dont underestimate the Halo fanbase and Halo is a system seller regardless what you guys choose to think. I see the decline theory you guys use and thats just being 1 dementional. Halo 5 didnt do what it should have done due to its game focus. However if Halo 6 is to do worse than it has to sell less than 5m which i would be extremly suprised. 

Iv worked in buisness for many years and i have lived though every console generation ever. I have see alot. If a business is under there sales and lose customers yearly they dont simply close the doors and just ride the wave of shame. They find newer ways to bringing those customers back something 343 is working on with Halo 6 hence why they have been quiet about it. Nintendo did the exact same thing with the Switch from WiiU.

I laugh at the decline method. 

All in all i enjoy debates with people because people seem to be so sure of themselves. 

Go on find post of me saying other things. Message me privately when you do. You will be disapointed and probably find heaps of predictions iv been right about.

Lets not turn this thread into about me either. 

Don your history isnt great so i would be very careful ;)

Anyway you know where to find me. Leave this thread alone and let it get back on topic.
