I can't pick. There are good reasons for why either game will win this match up and I just can't decide what factors will win out in the end. I suppose bundling might be the difference. I kind of expect TR to be this year's ACU bundle. It will become the base Xb one sku. I don't think Sony will do that with UCNDC. If that happens then I expect TR will win out.

I think this may actually be contengent on when Tomb Raider is actually released. Personally, wouldn't it make sense to let Halo 5 be the bundle driver? Naturally I think this is what most are expecting. However, it can also be argued that Halo can sell itself and it can motivate people to purchase a Tomb Raider bundle... (of course this is once again contengent on when the game releases). Every ad I have seen says HOLIDAY 2015 which has to be November.

If Uncharted is bundled in October and Tomb Raider doesn't even release until November, then Uncharted wins by default.

I think Halo 5 will be the XB1 bundle this year. Not only is it a bigger game, it also wouldn't cost MS anything other than some sales, while bundling TR would mean having to pay SE/QD more money on top of what they already paid for the timed exclusivity.

I forgot about Halo. Yes of course Halo ought to be the base Xb one sku, with perhaps a more limited TR bundle. And maybe a TR+H5 bundle for a few extra $$. In that case I'm back to I have no idea which will sell more.
