Poll Will the Master Chief Collection really move consoles? (73 votes)

No 27%
Yes, 500,000 Consoles 18%
Yes, 1 million consoles 19%
Yes, 2-3 Million consoles 14%
Yes, it will move Halo 2 or 3 numbers (5+ million) 14%
Not Sure 8%

A lot of people are saying this will move consoles, a lot of people don't think it will and/or don't think remasters of old Halo games, even with the Halo 5 Beta, will do more than a minimal amount.

Just wondering what the thoughts here are about this remake collection actually moving anything.

Only thing that's swaying me to get a xbone over the ps4, atm. But, I will probably wait to see the full details of their supposed browser streaming.

I think Halo 5 will move more than a remaster.

I'd imagine it would, especially if its bundled in. Will be hard to tell because sales will be higher anyway due to christmas.

None of those are unrealistic. Have you kept track of Halo?

Technically it's more of a remake than a remaster overall, but either way nothings technically new outside the Halo 5 Beta and the new graphics.

No

Because the majority of people who had an XBOX and/or 360 already owned Halo 1-4 and have already played them to death.

How the hell are remasters of main stream games from 10+ years ago going to start flipping XBone's like hotcakes?

I remember reading once that this game was the second highest "trending" game of the year behind Destiny, so I wouldn't be surprised if it sells consoles. People have wanted this for a long time.

I really do get the feeling this will move a chunk of consoles. Idk the exact number obviously, but I think it's gonna move people from like 18-30 who grew up with the Halo franchise. And now people that missed the early years can spend $60 and get to play every major Halo game and get ready for Halo 5 next year. If I didn't already own an Xbox One for Titanfall, I'd definitely have it for this.

There's a 9000 post thread on Gaf that was closed a month ago.. that was locked.

Before the 16,000 post OT thread was made... It's good to be oblivious or just dumb I guess.

It'll move a few, but my ass won't be buying one for it though. I'm content with the graphically outdated Halo games I already got not to mention the franchise is tired as hell. Like Angry Joe says I'm Haloed out.

You would have thought the earth came to an end when they closed the Halo 2 servers.

This game will move a shitload of consoles. Bet on it. It's easy money. That 400k PS4 lead in the states could disappear in a day.

With a X1 Halo: MC collection for $399.

There are limits to the fanboy?

Yes. It's Halo. Nuff said.

Having only played Halo 1 and wishing to complete the trilogy (don't have 360) + those 100 maps, i really, really wish i had an xbone. I'd gladly pay a good price for a pc version even.

It won't move has consoles has it'll sell copies, but i can see a possible 1 million sales from it.

Also, y u no bundle MS?

MCC yes, it'll move units but Halo 5 probably wont that many. Why you ask? because most Halo fans will already have bought an Xbone for MCC.

All 9 million plus? That's the average units sold of Halo games.

This exclusively depends on if Forza and Sunset do anything this month.

That's a bit silly. I mean look at how much Halo 4 sold. it sold 8 in the shortest amount of item possible, possibly at 10-11 now if not more. Even if 2 million of thsoe are hesitant on 343, this will be a good way to show people how Halo 5 will be. Halo MCC may move at best on a great day 6-7 million LTD, but Halo 5 should sell nd move even more console, and probably get to that 6-7 million in a much shorter time.

Provided the game is good, gets good reviews, and 343 didn't screw up.

No. Those games have nothing to do with this inevitable outcome.

We can reflect on this thread after the dust settles.

I understand your opinion.. no, no I don't. :p

Watch what happens... It's coming. Even the Cows know it's coming. The smart ones.

This is not being a fanboy. It's just what it is.

I'm sure it will move a million or so but not for me. I'm waiting to see how the Sunset Overdrive reviews are, that's the only game that really has my interest at the moment.

No he said that shit alright in one of those angry Xbox one rants from he did from 2013, and truer words have never been spoken. Which is why he didn't even bother to review Halo 4, one if not the biggest exclusive of 2012.

the average of GT sales are also close to that or even more and GT6 sales were much lower. that means nothing. Whos to say many Halo players didnt switch to ps4 and arent willing to buy an xbone for just one game? especially a game that has been declining in popularity latelly (halo 4 sales were lower than Reach)

Tell me how many units this declining Halo 4 sold?

You know what's coming. Why all the hate? It's like me saying Uncharted fans don't want U4 because U3 wasn't as good as 2..

Would that be a lie?

Releasing GT6 at the ass end of a console generation was not a very smart business decision. How many units of GT6 sale if it was a PS4 launch title... It would still be selling. GT7 will sell 10 million plus.

Watch.

I'm sure if you took enough copies and taped them together, you could throw them at the console and get it to move a bit.

just like i predicted ps4 will stomp x1, sony win npd despite titanfall launch, destiny is going to suck etc. i officially predicted halo mcc wont sell no where near the amount of consoles ms/fanboys hope. BUT because it releases in november x1 sales should start to pick up anyway because holiday seaosn and lems will claim it did #damage control

a hd remaster isnt going to sell a shit load of console + halo doesnt have the appeal to casual like it used to because of cod. the marketing budget of titanfall was probably much higher than a remaster. the game will sell good but as a console seller 500k max
