| Erik Aston said: Currently, the 360 is beating XBox sales handily (by 3-4 million in same time frame depending on who's stats you look at) That's simply not true. Mayhaps you reveal who's stats ye be looking upon? Several things which you may have stumbled upon: 1. The console comparison charts on this site don't include Europe for last gen systems 2. MS overshipped units during Xmas last year, so they actually were ahead in shipped units by a ridiculous sum at one point. With a later launch in Europe/Japan for XBox, it had shipped 11.21 M units through Sept 2003, while 360 has shipped 11.6 M through June 2007. A barely significant lead. The more important fact in considering sales of Halo 3 is that Halo 2 launched into a 17 million strong install base instead of 11 million. |
I agree, I don't see Halo 3 blowing away Halo 2 sales by any huge amount. Sure it will probably outsell it, but we aren't looking at a game that can outsell Super Mario Galaxy with the kind of momentum the Wii has and the kind of legs that will carry that game.
