You know, I'm just trying to do some objective speculation here. There's games that are better (or, at least just as good) that have nowhere near as much hype; I'm pondering as to why that is.

 And I'm not 'bring up old stuff to stir up 360 fans', I'm trying to have an intelligent not-partial discussion.


if you would of started with that question would of made things better

well its most likely the genre, 1st person shooters are the most popular in the US, halo is very very well done game in that genre, and it is quite fun. Many other games that recieve similar reviews, or are just as good, are usually not first person shooter combined with mult, that makes halo so danm popular.

Its like this, in America, we love the blood and gore first person shooter, and thats why halo is huge. Its different in Japan, Final Fantasy is huge there, with numbers to almost rival that of halo launch easy. Yet it is not the best RPG game for many, its just how it is, its the genre, and the big brande name that one of the games made by being really good.



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.
