That's a lot of assumption going on in one sentence. MW2 isn't even through selling yet and is already on it's way to outselling Halo 3 on the 360 and you are also assuming that Reach outsells Halo 3 itself. I don't see how it's unfair to count the ps3 copies of MW against halo either. Unfair because it shows how many more people bought a game then your favorite maybe. There's no reason to gimp the sales of one game in favor of your other. If more people wanted to play halo they would have bought a 360. People who wanted to buy halo got halo and though's who wanted to buy MW2 bougt that too. The fact remains that Modern Warfare is more popular. No matter how you cut it, more people purchased it. You can't tell me that ps3 owners couldn't buy a 360 and halo if they had wanted to. Next are we going to gimp Mario sales because the wii has sold so much? Tipical Selnor response though. |
Umm no, it's unfair because it's not a valid comparison at all, and I don't know why people on this site seem to enjoy making these kind of comparisons.
Halo 3 vs. Modern Warfare 2 is not a valid comparison because you cannot argue that Halo 3 wouldn't sell a fair (not huge, but decent) amount of copies on the PS3 had it been released on it at launch.
Halo 3 vs. Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360) is not a valid comparison because it completely ignores Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) sales which, had the game been exclusively on the Xbox 360, could've boosted those numbers (not all the way, but somewhat).
Neither comparison is valid. Both of you need to stop trying to spin invalid comparisons in your favor, and everyone needs to stop wanting to compare exclusives to multiplats.
themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
