You might not care but it still a thing not to mention some were waiting for the holidays for a turn around in sales due to xb1 cutting the gap around 400k last year. I dont know what your 2nd paragraph has to do with what I said. The only thing that people can say without a doubt is that halo 5 only push xb1 to 303k compare to halo 3 that push xb360 over 500k for September which mean that halo doesnt have the same ability to move system first month as before. If halo can provide a better holiday sales, that remain to be seen.

It's not the greatest comparison, because this is the second cycle of Halo on the platform, and it's third holiday, not a second. The diehard Halo fans already bought into the system, whereas the last time around they hadn't yet. Easily 200k people bought the MCC bundle or other SKUs over the last 12 months wihtout waiting for H5 to launch.
I bought my X1 at launch, and my friends list is almost exclusively culled from Halo players over the years, outside of irl friends. Lots of them jumped in last year when MCC launched. The number who waited until October was relativley small. And some went PS4 exclusively whereas last time quite a few were dual console people. There's less reason to own both this time, IMO, especially at this point in the life cycle. Anecdotal, I know, but I see no real reason why they wouldn't be somewhat representative of the larger Xbox base, as there's nothing special about them.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
