Halo is Microsoft's flagship game and is one of the reasons for the console's great success. For now it is titled, "Halo Xbox One," according to Forbes.
"The final naming convention of the next chapter of the 'Halo' franchise that we revealed at E3 is still being considered. There's no great mystery, it's simply something still under discussion as we look towards the new generation of Xbox One, its overall branding, and its audience," a Microsoft representative told Forbes.
As far as exclusive games go, Forbes reports that although the consoles may share games, certain titles will favor specific consoles. They cited Call of Duty: Ghosts leaning toward the Xbox One while Assassin's Creed will be geared to the PS4 more.
Microsoft is still quite on the release date and only confirms a November release.
According to Telegraph all pre-ordered Xbox One's will come with FIFA 14, and a similar deal is being reached with Activision and Infinity Ward to have a bundle featuring Call of Duty.
