Of course they moved to Gears of War. I said in my statement "how many 360 owners WERE", not are.
Because they moved to Gears of War, Halo 2 wasn't anymore the most played game on Live.
My prediction is that Gears of War is/was more of a system seller (meaning it actually moves systmes) for the 360 as Halo 3 will be.
My friend, you are VERY wrong.
Halo 2 launched and sold nearly Halo 1's entire US sales in a month. Not only this, it boosted the Xbox to its highest November and December - In November, it sold 800,000 units - one of the highest ever for November for any console, and about double what most other Xbox Novembers had. Heck, it beat out the PS2 that month!
Believe me when I say Halo 3 will boost 360 sales to that level or even higher (due to GTA as well).
I am NOT a Halo fanboy...I hate the game. Regardless, it will move units, as I don't believe that the 360 has only catered to the Xbox crowd, and I am sure that once H3 launches, there will be tons of new converts in the US.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
