Halo > U3 first week WW(and lifetime?).

I wish Halo would get pushed back a couple of weeks, going against COD isnt a good idea.

To be fair, Left 4 Dead 2 did just fine launching in the same week two years ago after Modern Warfare 2 that Halo's launching in this year.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

its prob already almost 2.2 million preorders with euro preorders


I was talking about america pre-orders.

WW we may never know for sure. We can only base on first week/day sales.



This week we should get Forza 4 numbers. It got the most requests if I remember it right.

Gears is still monster strong but isn't so far putting up huge numbers in its final weeks.

Battlefield 3 looking beastly, could legitimately steal some thunder from MW3. I still think MW3 WAY outsells it lifetime but Battlefield is certainly gonna make an impact.

Uncharted 3 doing pretty decent and is certainly pushing higher pre-orders than UC2. I still think this game though is only going to sell slightly better than the first. maybe add an additional 500k purchasers or so LT.

Halo starting to really heat up. Will be interesting to see how it performs and should for sure be successful but I don't expect massive things, 3 million for sure LT but don't know how much higher it will be, it could blow past that and do 6 million or more but I"m gonna be conservative and predict around 4 million.



EA must doing something right with Battlefield 3. It's pretty high, only being beaten by Gears & COD. Impressive.



BF3 is doing great, better then i expected .



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

Gears 3 pre-orders should pick up soon when commercial advertising starts.

Halo CE remake will probably come close to uncharted 3 LT sales. Maybe even surpass it. In a week or two Halo CEA will surpass uncharted 3 pre-orders no surprise though.

The thing that puzzles me is that people seem to know about Halo 4 but not Halo one remake. If you look at the youtube videos ( i know cant really make a claim with youtube views) most of the Halo 4 videos have over a million views with the main on being around 5.2 million. But when i look at Halo CEA there are few houndred thousand some being close a million. Cause Halo fans are not really mindless casual sheep that will buy any game with Halo on the cover. Cause if that the case ODST and WARs would have sold much more.
