Forums - Sales Discussion - Halo 3 "WILL/WON'T" push 360 numbers through the roof?

Ok there is a LOT of threads where this is mentioned or is the exact topic and I haven't seen anyone put together a list of predictions. We have a lot of people with wide ranging opinions but I don't want to get into the opinions.

RULES

Just post if you think the Xbox 360 WILL or WON'T outsell the Wii for the week of Halo 3 release. Then add in parenthesis how many units you think it will sell more/less than the Wii worldwide the week of release.

So for example....

WILL (+900k)- This means you think the 360 will outsell the Wii by 900k on release week.

WON'T(-900k)- This means you think the 360 will be outsold by the Wii 900k on release week.

Whoever is closest to the difference will be the winner regardless of whether they are on the correct side of the Will/Won't. We are ignoring the Will/Won't part simply to avoid the "Price-Is-Right" issue of being the actual closest but still losing. A close guess is a close guess, period. Besides what would be the difference between Will(+0) and Won't(-0)?

 

I think most people who have seen my posts know which side of this I am on but I don't want to bias the OP so I will leave it as is for now and make my prediction once we have a few posts.

And remember folks, be a gracious loser/winner. I know we all think we are psychic and know exactly what is going to happen ...some of us are going to hit it and some of us aren't. But it doesn't matter how accurate you are if you just turn around and act like a jerk. This is to be taken all in good fun......I wonder how many people actually read all of this lol....

Do we have any historical data for this system sales after the release of a halo? This is just kind of a guess but i'll say will +50k. If you think that sounds like a low number consider the fact that the 360 will have to sell between 5 and 6 times its normal sales to reach that.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

i guess it won't but u never know coz most halo fanboy r crazy...

fan = diminutive for fanatic = a person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause = crazy

Yep, it all adds up! 



Won't. How can you beat a console that's selling out permanently by thirty times a week's normal sales? +/-0k that week only



Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.

I have to say Won't, but it'll be close.

See, the thing is, most of the people who are interested in Halo get pulled in by Red vs Blue and Halo 2 a while ago already. They already Bought and OWN a 360, so the sales they'll draw from this are limited.

There'll be a boost in sales, but it won't bring them above the Wii sales. I say the limit will be that they come out on par with the Wii sales in a few subregions

Oh, put mine down as... Won't (-50K)



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Will (25K). Nintendo will probably have run out of their Metroid Prime 3 stockpiles long before Halo 3 hits and will probably be starting to stockpile for the next big release or even Christmas. Halo 3 will be a huge impact, but it'll only just pass the Wii's sales at best.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

Ok:

WON'T (-102k)



Halo 3 won't have very much impact honestly. Those that want the game already have the 360. Might move 100k systems if that.



Well what are the wii sales, can you see the future and tell me septs sales. So i will say 600/700k the month of Halo3 400 the nest one. + a million in the 2/3 months around Halo3
