If it helps, I was at a midnight launch for Halo 3 last night and out of the hundred+ people who picked up Halo 3, not a SINGLE one picked up a 360. I was watching the counter the entire time: didn't sell a one.
Halo 3 is being sold to the existing 360 audience, not a new one. However, the sales of it will be quite impressive, I'd wager.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
