Thanks toastboy.

Now to present the estimated lifetime sales of the most sucessful exclusive lineup in many years:

1. Halo: Reach - 15 million
2. Gears of War 3 - 6.5 million
3. Fable III - 4.5 million
4. Alan Wake - 3 million
5. 'Rare game Natal' - 3 million
6. Mass Effect 2 - 2.5 million
7. Splinter Cell: Conviction - 2.5 million
8. Crackdown 2 - 2 million
9. HL2: Episode 3 - 1.5 million
10 Kingdom Under Fire II - 1 million


Natal motion controls - 22 million (to a 1/3 of the lifetime X360 installed base)



1. Hrmm? It's not even certain whether or not Halo 3 will reach 15 million, let alone Halo: Reach. What's with the overhyping of Halo Reach anyways? What kind of market will it grasp that Halo 3 won't? And if not that, how will it grasp what could be the entire market of Halo 3 (and some of those bundles)?

2. I've heard a lot of chatter from Gears of War fans that are disappointed in the sequel, but they're likely a small minority. This goal can definitely be reached, but it won't be easy.

3. Lol wut? The second isn't anywhere close to that, even with bundles. Unless we're assuming that Microsoft will bundle their games, AGAIN.

4. Alan Wake doesn't seem like the kind of game that sells 3 million copies. Most games don't just sell that much off of a bit of internet hype.

5. Talk about vague. I won't even bother with this one.

6. Easily accomplished. I could see the second growing the series a good bit.

7. Tough to say. Most of the games in the series haven't sold in that area, but anything is possible.

8. Lol no. The first didn't even get close to that, and that was with a beta for the system's biggest game included.

9. This will sell 1.5 million? The Orange Box certainly didn't.

10. I don't even know the thought process here.
