I take it this will be the new Titanfall? A game that's supposed to be huge and move consoles but ends up not doing so. Hyped to heck on forums, but not directly translating the mainstream. I think the game will sells big, have a high attach rate, but it won't do much to move consoles (TF was also #1 on Amazon for a while) 

It's appeal is mainly for those who already own an X1, and the Halo core who are actually nostalgic for 10 year old multiplayer. The mainstream that makes Halo big won't really care, it'll just be "Those games I played years ago". We've seen this before with other HD remasters and remakes.

Halo 5 is where it's at for the mainstream, and pushing it back to 2015 essentially let's Sony take the Holidays.

 

Heck, I'll say this, Destiny will move more PS4s than Halo Collection will move X1s.


lol okau

Exactly my thoughts as well.

Xbone owners said that price was the only reason why the PS4 is leading, yet the $399 Xbone SKU is sitting at #40 on amazon best sellers while there are 2 PS4 SKUs in the top 10.

What a great argument there man (come on dude).   Destiny PS4 bundle is already Number 4, the game will be absolutely massive for PS4.

Lol at the "other" fans trying to downplay this. Halo is a massive franchise. You guys underestimate halo because you dont like it. Just wait for the holidays and you all will see how much of an impact halo can make.
Halo is just an epic franchise! Halo 2 MP? That alone speaks for itself...

I like Halo.  I've played it a ton.  Still not buying an X1 for games I've already played to death.  A new Halo (if it's good) will move many more systems.  This will pale in comparison to how many systems the Destiny bundle pushes for the PS4.

So destiny will push consoles but halo won't? lol

Well maybe you are right since there will be a ps4 + destiny bundle. Plus the crazy marketing sony is doing for destiny, must of spend a big penny for it. 

Not as much as how much Microsoft spent on the media creating the fake titanfall hype. The game on the Xbone sold worse than Infamous: SS which is a huge embarrassment.

The Xbone and all the franchises associatd with the brand are in trouble.

uhhh no it didnt XD look up titanfall and look up infamous on vg chartz. SECOND the one million in 9 days was worldwide, including digital sales. while the 950k in 3 weeks was us only, retail only, and didnt include bundles

LOL!!!!

 

If a game on xbox sells alot its due to the 1 billion advertising. 

If a game sells great on ps it was because the game was awesome. It did not have much advertising. 

Watchdogs had a crazy advertising budget on ps4 so thats why it sold good whether you deny it. 

The titanfall advertisement budget probably eclipsed the amount of money SONY will ever spend on the PS4 including its accessories, advertising, cost to create exclusives, etc.

It was so ginormous that I think it's possible that Microsoft will never be able to make a profit on the Xbox again.

npd says titanfall outsold infamous. Infamous only sold more in april and not by much. I think its more embarrassing saying this^ as infamous was exclusive and was outsold by a multiplat on a single system.

uk march npd shows titanfall outsold infamous ss by about 300k

april uk npd shows infamous outsold titanfall by ~ 10k i believe (lets say 50k to cover mars too).

~250k missing.

And Watch Dogs on the PS4 outsold every game on the Xbone. Isn't that even more embarrassing?

The general rule for me is to take VGChartz's numbers for anything Xbox related and divide them by 2.

Exactly. I think this Holiday season is going to be a big wake up call for some. Price isn't the onlly issue for MS and they made no compelling argument for picking up an X1 over a PS4. Heck, most of their conference as spent showing off games that will end up better on PS4 anyways.

watch dogs might as well have been exclusive. i know people who thought it was. And watch dogs sold only 1 mil more on ps4. Pathetic for a console with almost 4 million consoles more sold. And why do you hate xbox one anyways? its very similar to ps4. It just has different exclusives and ecosystem. Its a console not a person. it hasnt done anything to you.
