lol.. enjoy Halo 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10.  seems to me that and gears of war 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and forza 6, 7, 8, 9 and horizon 3, 4, 5, 6 are the only thing that sells and is worth talking about in the xbox community.  makes it sad that gamers like you will accept that from MS lying down..

Not to mention, the thread is about "USA" and in the recent data shown this week, X1 still lost USA. It was when they grouped it together for North America, only then did it get a narrow 1k win.

If they have exclusive advertising rights to GTA5 and a bundle to go with it ... Thread closed.

I'm pretty sure those who wanted an X1 for Halo already has one.

only fanboys will get xboxone , and they are in USA , but still not match vs sony fans ,new ps4 owners and migrates from others consoles

I thought this threat would have been closed after the x1 embarasing SKU launch results. The x1 will be lucky to reach the original xboxs numbers.

why didnt the ps3 sold ony 30m in that case?

turnaround are impossible?

great logic

Because the ps3 had to many advantages

more power.

more exclusive. stronger first party.

more brand recognition.

The x1 has 0 advantages this gen. the only unknown was the cloud, but MS already said that is just dedicated servers and wont improve the gaming expirience. if you can think of any advantage MS has so in the future it can use to pull ahead, please tell me.

You need new IPs, too. Relying on the same franchises over and over again is detrimental to the X1 and the series themselves. Look what happened with Gears of War Judgement and God of War Ascension. Perfect examples of franchise fatigue. MS can't just release Halo 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The overall quality will suffer immensely and less people will buy Halo consequently leading to less hardware moved out. However, MS can't afford to leave such large gaps between big games. This is where new IPs and indies are very important: to keep the players happy until the next big thing.

The problem with the X1 is that the Xbox community tends to not care so much about new IPs, as seen from the reception of The Lost Odyssey and Alan Wake, for example. The diversity of the 360 library suffered as a consequence of this and Alan Wake eventually got released on PC. While Sunset Overdrive looks unique, it may be easily overshadowed by the huge multiplats like COD: Advanced Warfare and Destiny. It was smart for RAD to delay The Order: 1886 to 2015 because there are already a bunch of action games coming out in the fall/holidays. It was also clever for Sony to have Driveclub and Little Big Planet 3 out this fall because those games cater to different audiences, LBP 3 especially. There is absolutely no competitor to LBP 3 from X1's side and thus, the younger and family oriented audiences are Sony's to lose this year.

Another huge flaw to your argument is that you're implying that MS will release Halo while Sony will just sit on their bums, twiddling their thumbs. Whatever big game MS will release, Sony will counter with one of theirs. Halo will be countered with Uncharted 4. Forza will be countered with Driveclub AND Gran Turismo 7. Gears will be countered with Guerilla's new open-world IP. Quantum Break will be countered with Quantic Dream's new IP. However, Sony has a lot more than just these games coming up. Media Molecule, Sony London, Guerilla Cambridge, Sony Bend, and Santa Monica Studios have yet to reveal their new games. The PS4 also has games like Rime, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, The Witness, and Without Memory coming up for the PS4 gamers to enjoy. None of the PS4's exclusives are as large as Halo, but because PS4 has more (high quality) games coming up, the combined effect will be vastly greater than that of Halo, Forza, and Gears.

TLDR: Whatever ground MS manages to make up with Halo will easily be negated and then some because the PS4 has a lot more upcoming high quality games.
