| Omega_Phazon_Pirate. said: Most people I see comparing sales, seem to forget/ignore that COD4 is multiplatform while Halo 3 is 360 exclusive. This reminds me of the whole MKWii vs GTAIV. Many people (on Gamefaqs mind you, a site I don't take seriously :P) were saying "if you combine the sales, GTAIV owned the **** out of Mario Kart" (although ironically now, assuming the numbers on this site are correct, MKW has outsold GTAIV total :P)... It's stupid to compare sales of an exclusive vs multiplat. What you should actually do is take the fraction of copies sold/units sold of what console you can play it on. Mind you both the Halo and the COD franchise are excellent shooters, so I hope both do well :D |
The Mario Kart / GTA IV comparison was perhaps a little more relevant given that the userbase for the two games was awfully similar. As such it was a reasonable comparison.
The Halo 3 and CoD comparison though is irrelevant, as CoD has a far larger audience to sell too. All that comparison really does is make Halo 3 that much more impressive.
Debating with fanboys, its not
all that dissimilar to banging ones
head against a wall
