Halo 3's situation is different than Halo 2's in two key ways:
- Halo 2 was the second Halo released on the Xbox 1 compared to Halo 3 being the first for the 360. So potential Halo series buyers likely bought an Xbox for the original game.
- Halo 2 was released later in the Xbox 1's lifecycle after it had already experienced several price drops and had a large installed base in which to buy the game. Halo 3 on the other hand is coming out when the 360's installed base is still relatively small.
So since those two differences are major ones, Halo 3 could generate more hardware sales than Halo 2. Of course we're going to have to wait until sometime in October/November before we know how much of an impact Halo 3 had.
