Ok. But leaving a Spiderman expansion to be the sole big 1st party exclusive at launch is a bit light don’t you think? I said I was going to reserve judgement until firm dates were set, but you pressed me. Just my perspective on the matter. 

Edit: Can’t help but feel ill be reported for this. I wasn’t asking for trouble with my first comment and am genuinely asking for the perspective of a different fandom then myself. If this is the case, please warn me and I won’t engage anymore. 

Did the last Halo outsell Spiderman? And that's a serious question because I don't know. I see that you're being really level headed with everything as of late so I am just curious.

I know it might seem biased on my part but I believe Spiderman to be the bigger property than Halo right now when you consider the exposure of a billion dollar movie with the best selling PS exclusive of all time. Right now there has never been a better time to be a Spiderman fan and although the new game itself is just a short spin off, the property is hot right now and will drive sales beyond launch. 

Halo 5? Of course not. Infinite is only theories at this point but between XB1/PC/Series X/Game Pass/Xcloud it is almost guaranteed to be more popular then Halo 3 ever was. 

Not knocking Spiderman MM, I’m sure it’s going to be an amazing game and the IP speaks for itself. It does however fall within history that PS starts a gen light and builds up from there. I just know if Xbox hypothetically launched with a “Halo 3 ODST” type of game instead of Halo Infinite, people on social media would complain a lot. So it’s really lucky for Sony that the IP compensates for that and their fans are more then understanding.
