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.

You know it would be hilarious if Bungie did leave M$ and end up making a great remake or sequel to ONI on the PS3 rofl. Doubt it will happen but then again, noone thought FFXIII would be on the 360 and we all saw how that turned out.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
