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.

titanfall was a bigger launch, much bigger, and even that didnt move too many so i doubt a hd collection of games people have already played is going shift that much. i will be buying it but people are out of their mind thinking this is going to be a huge system seller

Well if you're going to mock someone don't post like him.

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

Like you predicted that Kinect would flop on X360. Then went on to be the fastest selling electronic ever.

That China would buy NO consoles. Mocking the delay. Were your estimates 100,000+?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

@applefan1991: Probably,. not to mention half those who grew up with halo 1 and 2 maybe even 3 probably have more disposable income now, 360 lasted forever.

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?

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

@Vatusus said:

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.

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.

What i was saying is that if Forza and SO are popular enough the gap may already be closed or be next to closed before MCC even starts momentum. Of course, we still have no numbers on Forza launch as usual.

Not defending but this saying is broken, how would you know if the clocks stopped at 12 is am or PM? And if the clock has a counter that tells you it's only right once a day.

I think it could move consoles. But, I also thought TitanFall would, so there ya go...

Proven series with 6 games under its belt or new hyped up CoD clone (to the unknowing consumer)?

Halo has a strong identity and titular character. I enjoyed Titanfall a lot, but I don't care who developed it, it pales in comparison to the behemoth that is the Halo franchise. Honestly speaking outside of Nintendo franchises and Call of Duty, Master Chief and Halo are probably the most recognizable character and series on any console.

Hell yes it will move consoles. How many is uncertain, but you'd best believe some people are going to buy it just for those remasters alone.

Will it move consoles? Yes

Will it move a lot of consoles? It isn't an original Halo title but damn is it enticing, especially with the 60FPS and 1080p.

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?

Because it allows me to play Halo 2, remastered, and on online.

It remains the best competitive console FPS of all time. Modern shooters are a joke in comparison.

Hopefully Halo 5 will incorporate much of what made it great so long ago.

so every single game sold means a console bought for the game? well expecting any kind of intelligent reply from you is a mistake by itself.

Tough to say. Regardless, it's a brilliant effort from 343, and i'm seriously excited.

343 are morons. The Remaster will be awesome because it's still basically a bungie game with better graphics. 343 is in full control of halo 5 and as a result it will be shit.

I don't know how many units it will sell, but I can tell you that I'm this close to buying an Xbox One just for the Master Chief Collection.

I want to say Yes but those numbers are unrealistic.So I'll go with no.

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.

I've kept track of Halo.
Have you kept track of how many consoles can 1 game move ?.

1 Mil + in 1 month.LOL

I'd get an Xbone for Halo if I hadn't grown out of it.

Then again I would probably have already got one by now if I was still interested.

I'm not buying it this year, maybe next year if it's on sale for $20ish. Then again, I don't care about console sales and I already own the Xbone.

I already own the Halo games and played them to death. Plus, I never pay full price for ports I already own (Zelda Wind Waker HD, The Last of Us HD, Master Chief Collection, God of War Collection, Ratchet Collection, Metal Gear Collection, Metro Redux, etc)

It will certainly move a good amount of X1's, just in my day to day life alone I've run into 3 people who are buying X1's exclusively for MCC (2 of which are PS4 owners)

How many consoles will it move exactly....who knows but it will help.

Every Halo has at least moves 1 million consoles within 30 full days that is a mainline title with 4 being the only debatable one. But it still eventually did after a few months.

ODST moves 1 million in 2 if not mistaken, of course one could argue it was riding the Halo 3 train, but it still did it.

Well outside of Halo 4 anyway.

it would be interesting if they had some way to check how many people played each game on the collection by activities/playtime/etc. I think that will show us how badly halo 4 really screwed up or if we were all wrong.

Well at least they make it seem that way. it probably will though, People are still on XBL on 360 playing 3 who still want to play it, and I doubt 60fps, and 1080p will do THAT much.

Halo 1 has a good chance to though, Anniversary collection had minimal advertisment and dissapperaed a month or so after launch so people may be interested in that, plus it will be better than the 360 version in performance anyway.

Only Halo i ever really liked was the first one, the rest i never played more then once... and I already Halo remake version on the 360. I don't think this will sell consoles by itself but it helps... i'll still never buy a xbox one though. If i had to slum it in the console world i'd probably go ps4.
