^Instead of being cryptic, give us some title names.
Unless you're referring to ODST, then MW2 will definitely outsell that. |
Actually I was refering to that, and I do agree MW2 will outsell it, however (mistake me if I'm wrong) but over a million different people play Halo 3 in a weekend. Microsoft will advertise ODST like mad you can be assured of that, would it be foolish to think it can do 3 million 1st week?
I think MW2 will outsellf ODST in the long run, combined its a lock, but 360 versions I think it will be close.
No idea when GT is out but its not unlikely it will hit this christmas.

No, it's not foolish, is it foolish to suggest that the 360 version of MW2 might do the the same? It's above my prediction by 1/3, but if you look at the article about Activision wanting this game to be one of the biggest selling games of all time, I'm pretty sure they'll be marketing the fuck out of this.
Do you have any statistics on how many people play CoD4/WaW over a weekend? I'd imagine those would be very high, also.
|
That doesn't mean anything though, I'm sure throughout 2008 COD4 had as many players online as Halo 3, yet WaW on the 360 only sold 300k more on its first week than COD4 MW .
With an active base of at least 1 million Halo 3 players (vast majority most likely to want the expansion pack)
Also ODST should be priced much cheaper than MW2.
|
WaW was crippled by the fact it was WWII, had it of been a MW game, it would have sold a lot better on its opening week.
Now, I never played the campaign of H3 for more than 5 minutes, but I'm under the impression that its campaign is fairly week, of those 1 million playing, how many would be interested in an expansion in the campaign?
|
Thats as may be but it still sold more than MW1 so consumers can't see it as a bad game.
I thought Halo 3 campaign was pretty week too, I guess it all depends on the nutty Halo fans and how good ODST looks. and of course the advertising.
It could go either way but I think FW Halo ODST > MW2, LT MW2 > ODST

This has nothing to do with the topic, but Halo 3: ODST will not come close to selling as well as Modern Warfare 2, sorry. Don't know how you can believe that. Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to a blockbuster, is the military game of the year. Many people look forward to this game.
Halo 3: ODST
| First-week sales |
Lifetime sales |
| 865,000 |
3,670,000 |
I don't think an expansion to a nearly forgotten game can contend against a super anticipated military shooter. Sorry.
Those are my predictions.
