NPD August = 5 aug - 1 sept

30k 53k 59k 64k= 206k
Hardware sales next week 64.000 for 360.

NPD September = 2 sept - 29 sept

65k 61k 58k 70k = 254k
Halo 3 release is 25th september.

You honestly think that during Halo month, the 360 will only move 254k and that Halo will only boost sales by 12k the week it releases?

Seriously, share some of what you're smoking.

Well I think Halo 3 will sell less than Halo 2. Because the userbase is smaller than Xbox. 1.800.000 copies first week. Madden NFL 08 did 6.000 with 900.000 copies. Also Bioshock released 2 days before weeks end. But sinds Halo 3 is the systemseller of Xbox 360. I'd say 15k for Halo 3.

I think you're really underestimating Halo. I think MS will move 15k 360s from 12:00am to 12:15am EST on September 25th. While many who want Halo already have a 360, there are still loads of people waiting to buy one on September 25th.

I think it will do 299 K MAX :P

Also I'll go with Stickball on the prediction!

hmm 300k is a little high but definatlly doable

ill sign i guess, but im not so sure 250k is def a very doable for me



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

I see it doing more like 270K in August and 380K in September and dropping down to 320K in Oct than going back up to 450K in Nov and a 1.2 million Dec.



@ redspear I dna about a 1.2 million december... I'd say with all the competiton it will be only 1 million

I think your reasoning is flawed by comparing the two.  This is the third iteration of Madden on the 360 while Halo 3 is the first for the system.  Chances are some of the people interested in Madden would have bought a 360 for one of the two previous Madden games on it.



I think it will come close, but no cigar.

Halo 3 will move a lot of systems. September and October will both be huge and November and December will be huge just because it's the holidays.
