This was when the RROD was very common so i don't think its farfetched to say there were 8million usable xboxes, meaning half of all xbox owners bought halo 3, week one... MW2 sold 8mil week one on 59mil consoles. Lets say 15mil of the consoles are unusable, that means 1 in 5 people who owned a console that could play it bought it. In terms of popularity at the time, MW2 has nothing on halo 3 when it came out. There is no way halo reach will have the same ratio as halo 3 as the halo buzz has died down a lot. But it will be similar to MW2 360 sales for sure. |
MW2 did 4,942,101 first week on Xbox 360 alone, that means if MW2 was exclusive on Xbox it would of sold way more.
Halo 3 did 3,815,444, thats including the mass advertising from MS and its exclusive so people can only purchase it on one platform.
So MW2 is more popular than Halo 3 is, how ever REACH may take the crown back with the BETA.
