Actually isn't Halo3 pretty close now already I mean how many millions of copies have been sold so far. I know over two million were sold week one right. And how many PS3's have been sold almost 5-mill Halo3 is well on its way to catching up or actually surpassing PS3 sales. By the end of Christmas I think theirs a pretty good chance of Halo3 outselling PS3!

It's not going to need until Christmas...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's already happened, actually. 



I can't believe this actually might have come true



Never argue with an idiot.  They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

This relates to my prediction on when Halo 3 will pass Gears of War:

Since GoW is 4.84m and I voted 2 weeks, then 2 weeks it is. So when numbers for Halo 3 are posts next week it will have not only topped Gears, but also PS3 WW.

Is Gears of War at 4.84m already? I don't want to be critical at ioi's numbers, but no way it is that high already. That would be a 50% attach rate in Others. Maybe they are shipped numbers?



it's over 3 million sold in the US, meaning it's in the 1.7 range in europe shipped considering it sold in japan. Hardly far fetched figures.



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

Well, 1.7M does mean a higher attach rate for Gears of War in others than in the Americas and I just don't believe this can be true. I don't know if Microsoft released any shipment figures in its last annual report which could clarify this issue though.



Oh, this is too much.

It will overtake it by end of September, however, by end of year PS3 will regain lead to Halo3.

Closeeeeeeeeee, super!

I think Halo 3 will pass PS3 both wordwide and in America soon after launch.
Then it will stay ahead for a few months wordwide and close to a year in America.

Very closeeeeeeee, and with foresight, too.

Hmm... Seriously is there a chance that more than half of X360 users in US will buy this game?... There is a great selection of titles before end of the year so +3 million won't be easy to accomplish... I wouldn't count on Pal regions or Japan. Very solid sale - yes, but US style madness? - nope.
... and an answer - never.

US H3 vs. US PS3 sales? September 25th at around 1:00am, if not sooner.

Worldwide H3 vs. Worldwide PS3 sales? Probably about 4 weeks after launch, or around October 17th. It won't keep that lead for long, but it'll be there.

DING! DING! DING! THEEEEEEEEE WINNARRRRR!

lol
