You have to take in account that Halo has been in nearly every bundle as an additional game plus it has a bundle of its own. I would say the numbers of copies out there are higher than the sale figures implicate.
After the inital hype cooled down I have been concerned about the game till I read some of the impressions on the division forums and watched the above video by Jeppsipepsi.
The hype is comming back and I am really looking forward to this game again :)

To be fair Star Wars has a questionable DLC policy and thus many gamers are sceptical. Many of my XLive friends didn't buy the game for that reason. Especially if you have Halo 5 in the mix with IMO the best MP experience and best gameplay since Titanfall.
However, I have Star Wars, since I got a copy for free. The game is enjoyable and fun cause of the Star Wars licence, but to be honest the gameplay is very easy and you cleary can tell it is foremost designed for the casual play...
Well said!
I don't get the resolution thing either. The X1 is my first console since the N64 days. Before this gen I played on PC only but switched back since I wanted to game laying on the couch in my living room again, lol. So you can call me clear of previous "clashes of the fanboys".
However, I have to say that I have been surprised and shocked about the aggressive and hostile console community at the beginning of this gen.
Now I tend to ridicule those who think the re...
I couldn't agree more! I loved the physics in FM5 and I love FM6 even more.
Especially the new force feedback of the triggers in the X1 controller took the FM experience and the feel of control over the car to a whole new level! :D
Since Forza Motorsport 1 there has been a 2 year dev cycle for Forza Motorsport games and Forza Motorsport 6 also came 2 years after Forza Motorsport 5.
People have to realize that Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport are two very very different games from two different studios.
Forza Motorsport has a 2 year cycle and as a Forza and sim racing fan I would not want it any different.
Additionally you have the Horizon arcade racer games comming every 2 years for gamers not into sim racing.
I think it is a great solution for both tastes.
I have X1 since day one and never experienced any of your problems:
Many great games: Ryse, Titanfall, FM5 & FM6 and Halo 5 are my favourites so far and I am looking forward to QB
Good UI that now became much better with the Win10 core
Best controller ever, especially the elite controller. I don't get your clicking problem as my 4 controllers don't make noises that would be louder as it should be compared to other controllers?
LOL, again within 2 days an articel to state the obvious....sigh...
Xbox won't catch up and doesn't need to, to be successfull!
lol, clickbait again... @@
@YinYangGaming
Good point! People tend to forget that MS has spent a lot of money on the deal and also assisted during development. The game had a slow start during a time with many game releases.
Heck, I like TR but with Halo 5, FM 6, Fallout 4, COD, Star Wars, etc. coming out around a narrow time frame it may be normal to start slow. I didn't buy TR because I am pretty busy with some of the titles I mentioned above but I am definately going to buy it around or r...
@sammarshall:
Well said! I don't get how people can say Xbox has no variety. PS4 may have more variety in the Indy genre but overall Xbox is not lacking behind by much.
Nice collection! I get the burnout thing...after spending more than 250 hours in TW3 I put the DLC in my backlog for january, lol
My top 5 are:
1. The Witcher 3
2. Forza Motorsport 6
3. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor; GOTYE
4. Halo 5
5. Knight Squad (cause it rocks if playing couch coop with friends)
My GOTY easily is The Witcher 3. I am a huge fan of the Witcher universe (games + books + comics) as you might notice looking at my username, lol.
But CDPR innovated the RPG level on many fronts! I never before had encountered so many awesome side quests with detailed stories. All the time I ran into the same: "oh it is late, but I think I have time left for one little side quest" ... "Wow!! oh sh*t, it has been 3 hours!" :D
Console bundles were crazy this time. I bought my sister the ForzaHorizon 2 bundle for christmas and it came with Halo 5 and Star Wars Batttlefront for 349 bucks.
What a bunch of great deals for gamers!
The game is a blast! Had some friends at my place last weekend and we ended up playing Knight Squad for several hours. Perfect party game IMO. We had tons of laughs, lol !!! :D
Xbox One won't close the gap and it doesn't need to. Sony Playstation simply is a highly recognized brand worldwide and Xbox outside of US and UK is not. But Xbox is doing fine and keeps on growing in terms of brand recognition. Both user bases are big enough to be attractive for 3rd party devs.
I never worry numbers, I just enjoy the games.
lol, you forgot the "/s" at the end of your post
@n4rc
it is hilarious seeing those comments about PS4 bundles but Halo all of a sudden is a stand alone only game it seems.
Halo has been included into nearly every bundle and has a bundle of its own. There are more people playing the game than the sales numbers are telling us.
@Rookie_Monster
It is console wars double standards and people tend to forget things in their favour...makes me scratch my head too
