I guess we agree to disagree on that one. Xbox has always been big in the holidays and slow the rest of the year. Including last year for the xbox one.

Eh, we'll see soon enough though.

I'm going to assume that most of the current Xbox owners are die hard Halo fans, so even with the low install fanbase, the game will sell atleast half of the current Xbox install base lifetime.

It's like asking if Mario isn't going to sell on a Nintendo console. Come on, it's Mario.

It'll have to sell to 75+% of the current xbox installbase to beat GoW HD though.

When someone makes a list of points, typically, the first point is the most important.
When you look at your first point, it directly relates to the sales of the game.  Additional points are usually made because the poster is biased and wants a particular side to win.

You could easily add more points and make GOW win.  Just silliness...

got my money on GTA V. Higher install base of close to 16 MIL

WTF dude have you checked out my sig? My top 10 favourite games of all time include 3 GOW games, why would I be biased against it? I listed more than one point because they are all relevant, and I didn't exactly say which game would win, just gave some points to think about before you decide.

Yes Mario would sell on a Nintendo console, but would an HD Collection of all NSMB games sell that well? That's the point, HD collections don't sell as much as a new game in a series.

Also not all Xbox fans would like Halo. Some might only like Gears, and MANY XB1 owners probably bought it just to play FM.

Why do people always feel that someone is attacking someone else on here.  I am just merely pointing out that the only relevant point is the first one, since it directly relates to sales.  Points 2 and 4 can be combined and therefore be null and void.  Halo MCC Collection is 60 dollars for 4 games.  GOW I and II (two games) came out for 40 dollars.

Point 3 is an opinion and should be omitted.  Then in points 5 and 6, you act as if the GOW collection is coming out this generation just like the MCC collection.  You act as if not having multiplayer during the PS2 era was a terrible thing.  The game was a very successful franchise without having any sort of multiplayer.  Again point 6 points out that older games have shorter single player campagins.  I am surprised that you didn't point out the graphics in favor of the MCC collection as well....

Seeing as we don't know the digital copies of GOW we can only compare physical so MCC is already at a disadvantage because digital is more possible now than it was then. We also have to take into account the install base, a game selling more than 3.3Million with an install base of 5.4 million is going to be difficult. And with Halo 5 soon after it (1 year) I just don't see it happening. But very well done if it does.
