So ODST is a mere 12 weeks away, I'm sure the game is almost complete, time for predictions!
Things to take into consideration:
- When Halo 3 Launched the userbase was just under 12 million, when ODST launches, the base will be above 32 million, 20 million more potential buyers than when Halo 3 launched, when it comes to prediciting FW sales this is something to think about.
- Halo 3 is due to break 10 million in the first week of August, 7 weeks before ODST launchs.
- ODST got a price hike, announced at E3, it will be priced the same as most other retail games, this is because its a much bigger game, and much more than just an expansion.
- Halo 3 gets around 1 million unique players every weekend, (just checked, 775k in the last 24 hours), the online is still very much alive for this game.
Lastly, don't underestimate Halo, Halo 3 has already exceeded a lot of peoples predictions and you'll be selling it short if you base your predictions around the fact its "just" an expansion.
First Week - 3.5 million (I'm holding back lol)
end of 09 - 5.5 million
lifetime - 9 million
