What do you predict lifetime?  

I have a feeling it will be bundled next year right before Halo 5 comes out.  Maybe even a complete halo bundle with White Xbox + Halo MCC+ Halo 5


i can see that 2 things happen:

a halo:mcc bundle for summer drough. (april - august)
a halo5 bundle including the master chief collection (release in november)

 

lifetime is hard to guess. 5m+
maybe even 7 or 8, if it turns out to be a must own on every xbox one and will be advertised as that (and bundled)

You know with XBO surging on amazon right now its too bad that the Sunset Overdrive bundle is sold out right now.  They need to get more of them out there.  Oh well.

Awesome news for Microsoft.

I played Sunset Overdrive all day long and this game rocks :)
I cannot believe I was hesitating to buy it at first... My son cannot stop playing and the controls are really well done.

Looking good for holidays!

Lol really enjoy it too. 

Takes some time to get used to the controls for me. You have to keep the combinations of x(rail), directional stick, and a(jump/bounce) while aiming and firing your weapon. Also have to keep moving, so it's alwasy frantic. 

Will take me time to really get used to, but so far at least an 8 from me. Probably more the more I play.

Thing about the controls are, it actually takes some skill to play.  This is just my opinion but from what ive played i will rank these three games in this order

1. Sunset Overdrive
2. InFamous
3. Crackdown

Well i think it is a little early to say how well itll do.  Its showing good signs right now with the launch of Sunset Overdrive + Pricecut today but it also has to maintain this momentum.  Luckily with  the CoD bundle and MCC it should be able to do that but its hard to say what will happen.

@Welfare: Was more of an ignorant guess. Never bothered to look up other games in the series :(

Well, for future reference, here are the WW openings for previous Halo games:

Halo:CEA- 732k
Hal0 3: ODST- 2.2m
Halo 2- 2.6m or more (exact data doesn't exist afaik, but it sold 2.4m in 24 hours in the US and 260k in the UK in it's first week)
Halo 4- 3.6m
Halo Reach- 3.7m
Halo 3- 3.8m

Halo: MCC's Amazon 2014 ranking suggests that Halo: MCC is tracking higher than Halo: CEA, but lower than Halo 4. So first week should be somewhere between 732k and 3.6m, we just don't know where in that range it'll fall just yet. 

Sweet Mother of God did I underestimate those sales.....

Forgive me Halo peeps xD 

Easily see 1 million FW sales.

EA Access on Xbox One “Surpassing All Expectations;” “Nothing to Talk About” for PS4 Version

 


I would have prob made this the headline but ill wait for a while and let the XBO amazon stay for now.

That is great news for EA Access.  And all those people who downplayed it -_-  With Sony talking bad about it, it doesnt shock me that EA isnt in any rush to bring it to PS4, though i expect it will at some point

Rally hated inFamous 1 and to me it definitely reminds me of a much more colorful version in the regard that you're alwasy on the move. Everyone is shooting at you in that game, and in this one if you're on the ground you're going to die. 

And ugh.. Crackdown

Glad I forgot those controls  

Edit: I didn't really give Infamous a good chance, so i may go back and play it. Just didn't like the over setting and atmostphere.

Im not a big fan of InFamous, which is why i avoided Second Son.  Its a solid game but just not something that i care for.  I hated crackdown though lol  Sunset im liking very much though xD  Its just simply fun and i love the humor theyre going with in this game xD
