Depends on what you compare it to. Do people really think it will sell as much as a brand new title did for 360? I doubt it. To say it will do nothing is ludicrious, but you cannot attribute all sales in the holiday season as due to one game, ever. There is a natural progression of sales in the holidays no matter what comes out.


I do believe it is obvious that one reason it is increasing is because Halo MCC.  And i do believe the biggest comparison would be Halo Anniversary.

And the Xbox fans never claimed it to be as big as a new Halo installment.  

And yes there is a natural progression, that same progression that every title ever gets.  So with that said, Halo MCC looks like it will be one of the biggest games on XBO/PS4 since launch.

Ignore the pricecuts now? Oh well, at least you responded. A lot of xbox fans act like it will be as big as a normal game. There are a lot of them out there and you do not exactly speak for them all. So to say the implication that it will sell as big as a regular Halo game is not present is false.

There is a number of reasons.  Sunset Overdrive, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, and $350 are all proving to be system sellers.  No shock really, though as i said, its obvious Halo is playing a vital role.  And yeah, MCC is looking to be a big game right now.  Maybe you mean a game that sells 10+m.  But a normal game, what does that sell exactly?  Im not sure where youre going with this really because it does look like its going to be big.  Though if youre trying to keep people in check and say "well its not going to sell as well as Halo 4"......  Nobody claimed that.

I think you're mixing fans enthusiasm around this title with their prognostic.

Everybody is stoked about this title because of its "overkill" content.

Also, talking about xbox fans "out there", is like talking about ps fans on N4G. Yeah...

I dont think youre getting it right.

most halo fans who Ive talked to have pretty conservative estimates.

I don't believe anyone is saying this will sell around 10 million units.



I think X1 bad press is slowly dissipating. It's like people now have a choice of two viable consoles instead of just 1 with the other one being an automatic no.

It's hard to ignore X1 now. It doesn't come with Kinect by default, it has great exclusives, great online that is mostly stable and the price is tempting. Add 30$ and you have access to a lot of EA games as well... how can you ignore that.

Indeed. Not entirely gone but next year if they continue to deliver solid exclusives, and debut a $299 slim (de ja vu anyone) I'm pretty sure by the end of 2015 all the bad press/negativity will be well and truly behind them.

I look back and think, just how stupid they were with pretty much all decisions except first party software/exclusives *cough* Phil Spencer.

And the controller of course, work of art.



 

went to www.xbox.com  to redeem some codes and it looks like you can still buy Sunset Overdrive bundles there if anybody is looking for one




       

Has anyone watched the Forge mode in Halo 2:A? Why hasn't it gotten more attention!? First time that we can forge from the ground up :).

Also, the standard X1 sku is really close the standard PS4 sku on Amazon best sellers right now..

They have certainly been turning things around but they got to keep it up.  They still need to show what their first parties are up to as well.




       

Somewhere in Germany, Angelus is smirking in anticipation of DA Inquisition. Might actually end up better than I thought...

Anyone else here getting it?
