It would sell a few hundred thousand copies at absolute best. Unless of course they can somehow figure out a way to work Sonic and/or Mario into the game in which case it will sell millions of copies.

Another way to get some Halo 3rd party success would be to change the name to Halo Sports Brain Training games and remove all the shooting sequences only to replace them with short motion based mini games. That version would sell 10 million copies minimum.

Does Halo 3 have mines like in GoldenEye?

Oh, I always thought fps-games were casual. At least I've heard that more than few times here.

There are plenty of games which do not have mario or sonic on them and still sold millions. Like wii play, wii fit, carnival games, legend of zelda and guitar hero 3.

If Halo 3 was made exclusively for Wii, it would sell tons as all the people who bought 360s for Halo 3 would now buy Wii's to play it.

No way.  FPS and sports games are the hardest of the hardcore.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I think it would get decent sales, 2-3m range. I wouldn't be interested though. However, if it were Perfect Dark Zero ported over with Wii controls.. then we're talking.

 

Why is that? Pdz is not a very good game.

I think a lot of Nintendo owners who haven't played Halo but have played PD on the 64 and loved it would pick it up.

Personally, I absolutely loved it for the 64. I've seen that PDZ has gotten a lot of mixed reviews, people either love it or hate it.. but it could be more fun with Wii controls. Just my opinion though.

 

Huh? So are you saying that a bad game would sell more just because it has been on nintendo platforms before? Or maybe I just misunderstood your point.

Mr. Y:s superior thread however seems to support my thoughts.

 

It being a bad game is just your opinion though. I've seen more positive than negative reaction.

My point was that Nintendo owners who played PD64 can identify more with PDZ than they could with Halo.

 



It won't have much chance of selling more than 10 copies. As PS360 fanboys and videogame analysts have been telling us since the day Wii was released:

1. 3rd party games don't sell on the Wii (unless it is a mini game compilation)
2. There are no hardcore gamers that could ever own a Wii
