I'd like to point out the current situation of Xbox Biggest Franchises.

I think this is very relevant to the thread, seeing how the Xbox One in order to stop the Switch gap to grow it need System Sellers to increase the sales. As soon as possible.

Having discussed this previously with other users, i would like to extend my original point.

Xbox Big 3 is on a sales decline, as i will show right now:

 

HALO

Halo 1 (5.5m) < Halo 2 (8m) < Halo 3 (12m) > Halo 4 (9m) > Halo 5 (5m)

GEARS OF WAR

Gears of War (6.09) < Gears of War 2 (6.75) > Gears of War 3 (6.21) > Gears of War 4 (3.05)

FORZA MOTORSPORT

Forza (1.05) < Forza 2 (4.05) < Forza 3 (5.49) > Forza 4 (4.57) > Forza 5 (2.31) > Forza 6 (1.99)

 

I underlined the peak of each franchise and the subsequent Factual Decline in Sales and Popularity with each iteration of the game.

You aren't getting the full context of forza without including the horizon series. Forza horizon 3 has outsold the last four forza games before it (horizon 1,2 forza 5,6) and sits at 2.49 million, with about ~500k more sales for PC. Yes, it wasn't as big as it used to be, but the decline has stopped and the series is stable now. Even gears has a pc version, so those sales aren't as bad as they look either 



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
