Biggest of the year? No. Any Halo that comes out this year will be the biggest release for Xbox One.

lol no. if halo 5 comes out this year then yeah sure it will. if a halo 2 remake comes out this year then no, it wont be bigger than titanfall. halo 1 anniversary sold 2.2 million on a 80 million install base. titanfall will easily outsell that on a much smaller install base. 

I think if Halo 2 anniversary releases this year it'll be a lot closer than you think. Halo 2 was more popular and CEA didn't even have a proper multiplayer so a lot of people decided to skip it. If it's the remake that the fans want it'll be pretty close. imo

Yup. Plus halo 2 is always special and is regared best in the series by many veterans. And the multiplayer maps were near perfect.

You are aware that nothing has launched for the PS4 around that time and that nothing is coming out for XBone until the holidays, right?

So the biggest most hyped game of the year for XBOXONE is released and sales increase by about 70-80k.....that cant be a good sign.  Next week they'll probably return to normal levels.

Graznted this game is availble on multiple platforms but it does go someway to highlight the problems Microsoft has.  I reckon MSFT has to either cut the price now of the console either through taking a loss on the boxes itself or by unbundling the kinect.  The longer they put off the longer sales will suffer and it may be too late by the time they get round to acting.


except 70-80k extra is double the previous sales

Dude, Kinect Sports Rivals is out in like two and a half weeks. You don't know the X1 release schedule, clearly.

Halo CE had Reach's multiplayer which you could buy as a map pack for $15 and is far from the most popular of the two. Also if Halo 5 beta is attatched then yes, it will be bigger than Titanfall.

Yeah, thanks for your objective and clearly unbiased take on the matter. It's sooo important to make sure people who don't hate M$ will never get their wild, ill-informed and totally unreasonable hopes up.
