| txrattlesnake said: It doesn't matter what the point is. What matters is that The Frozen Throne and Burning Crusade have both introduced significant amounts of new people to the World of Warcraft. Something that I highly doubt Halo: ODST will do for Halo 3 as the Halo series is losing steam. |
Why are you comparing the sale parameter of a mmo to Halo? And btw congrat on setting impossible goal on a absolutely stupid bet.
Halo 3 is selling above 25k a week, for another 3 million to sell at this rate, you're looking at a little under 3 year. The concept that new buyer of ODST MUST BUY Halo 3 is also illogical, you do not require Halo 3 to play ODST, people usually look towards the latest iteration of a series to buy not its prequal, can you see any other precident where a stand alone expansion revitalised the sale of a game so much that it manage to achieve another 30% of its total sale? How the hell can you tell if 3 million NEW user have bought ODST, where would you even track that?
Did Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty give a 30% boost to R&C:ToD? What about GTA4 DLC with regards to GTA4? Both are standalone game (expansions) for rather successful series, neither achieved your lofty goal, I guess both series are also in decline too?
