there isnt hype right now but in 6 months there will be. the marketing will be as big if not bigger then 3 so there really isnt a reason reach cant outsell halo 3. halo 3 sold 10.5m and the campaign in many peoples eyes was short and sucked so if reach has a good campaign(it should since it has a great story) and the game is north of 10 hours it should and probably will outsell halo 3.

I did say that the Hype will probably pick up in a few months, and it won't be bigger than Halo 3. You see this is how it works, when there is a successful franchise, its hype is always at its biggest during the Main series. Now since Halo 3 ended the Main series, many people will not come back to the series to play a spin-off. Granted Reach is a Prequel to Combat Evolved, it is still not in the Main series and there will not be the urge to pick it up and play it because you already know the series ended. Now if they made Halo 4 , I have no doubt it would outsell Halo 3 but that is because the huge cliffhanger at the end of Halo 3 would be answered. But with Bungie leaving Microsoft after Halo Reach, I don't see a Halo 4 in the NEAR Future. It will come but not this generation. I stand by the fact that Halo Reach will sell 8-9 million, simply because the main series has concluded and the Hype machine that is Halo is now dwindlng.



2010 Hardware Sales Predictions

Wii: 20m- Sales will drop, but not by much.

PS3: 13.5m- It sold 12m in 2009, its only common sense it will sell more this year.

Xbox 360: 11m- It sold 11m in 2008 and 2009, I think it will sell the same.

My Fanboy Speech...

Why do you have to make excuses to defend a product that you purchased, but that's the only connection you have to it, you don't make it, you don't lose or gain money on it. I don't see where all of the defensiveness comes in, there is no reason for you or anybody else to feel obligated to defend it. Now I would understand if one of you were a developer for the product and you slaved over said product only to hear somebody call it stupid or a piece of junk. But none of you developed it, none of you are mature enough to realize that. Choosing a product all comes down to preference, you chose said product because it is best for you. Simple as that!
