I don't see XB1 doing over 60 million unless MS fails to release an XB2 by Winter 2020. 

It has terrible visual design though. Everything in Halo 5 is too bright, and calls attention to the player. It's the same problem as the mud brown shooters that we got last gen, only this time it has to do with too much as opposed to not enough color. On the bright side though, Halo has a good foundation for an art direction, lore, gameplay etc. 

I don't anticipate a new console by 2020, from Sony or MS. The mid gen upgrades bought them some time.

If Sony does go for 2020, I think MS would just follow up in 2021 with a more powerful box, while the X1X could be their budget option.

People are torn on Halo 5's presentation. Compared to other 60 fps shooters it looks great and the lighting is impressive. But I understand your gripes with the "brightness." However, I gladly take that over the "brown shooters."

I'll take a game with brown environments and bright colorful enemies. I'll take a game with bright environments and dull brown enemies. As long as I can instantly tell the difference between something I'm supposed to be shooting at and something I'm not. When the enemies and the environment look the same, it's the video game version of trying to read dull grey text on dark grey paper.
