@Jereel Hunter and Cueil

Im talking about the original Halo...not Halo 3 on 360....and it was NOT a system seller on the same level as Halo 3....

Almost everyone that bought a 360 when it was first released was due to the fact that Halo 3 will be comming out for it at some time down the road...and then when Halo 3 was released 360's sales were huge! Thats a system seller...

Halo 1 did not have the same effect on people as Halo 3 did...why? because the Halo franchise had not established itself yet...and it did not have alot of fans...Prior to xbox's release I did'nt hear millions of people saying Oh I got to get an Xbox to play Halo...NO...it had to establish itse;f a fanbase first....and thats what Killzone failed to do with it's first game

And for people always hatin on the PS3 it's kind of sad...your missing out on some great games...LBP...MGS 4...Killzone 2...Uncharted....GOW 3....sad that you wont be able to play these games because you hate a company...

I love my 360 as much as I love my Ps3 and Im thankful I can play all the great games this generation has to offer

I know you mean Halo:CE, and it did have that effect. Maybe not at launch, but when the first people got Xbox's, and then played Halo at their friend's house, suddenly they needed an Xbox. This is a fact. It's why I got an xbox, its why my frineds got Xbox's. Halo:CE didn't make it's 6.5m sales in the first year. It was one of the top 25 selling video games of the year *4 years in a row*. It was an amazing game, and it continued selling consoles right up until Halo 2 took the torch. Honestly, no Halo:CE, I probably woul dnever have initially purchased an Xbox. It really made the Xbox a valid console choice until it's games lineup took off.
