| xerostomia said: I posted this in the main thread about MW2 sales numbers. I personnaly believe that Halo Reach will outsell MW2 on Xbox easily. Several things to factor. Halo 3 sold 3.8 million copies with an install base of 11.7 million (attach rate of 32.5%). MW2 sells (maybe) 5.5 million copies on an install base of ~33 million (attach rate of 16.67%). In the absolute worst case scenario, if Reach has the same attach ratio, the user base will be 7-9 million more, thus final numbers will be in the 6.5 million range. |
I don't think the attach rate will be the same as Halo 3. Granted, the install base will be larger, but those 7-9 million may not represent all new XBox owners. A lot of those could be old XBox owners replacing their broken 360's with new ones, especially since for 1st generation 360 owners, the 3 year warranty has since expired. I myself have already gone through 2 360's, as have a handful of my friends. So it's not like I'm going to buy 2 copies of Halo Reach just because I own 2 360's.
