Won't happen. Really guys, I'm a x360 fan and your predictions are making all of us look bad. I can give you a nice list of a bunch of games that didn't outsell the game they followed on the PS2 even though install base was doubled.
MGS2 was released when there was 15.5m PS2 install base and sold 5.58m copies. MSG3 (the prequel like Reach will be) had a 73.5m PS2 install base and only sold 4m copies.
Lemme put it this way... a friend of mine and I are not that interested in getting Halo Reach. YOU'RE TELLING ME that you are going to find 2 people that DIDN'T buy Halo 3 that are going to go buy Halo Reach???
Come on, lets get real. It's a prequel!

Well, if you wanna get technical. I have Halo 3 used, so when I buy Halo: Reach first day, I will be included in those figures whereas I'm not in Halo 3's. Also, Halo 2 > Halo 1. Just because Microsoft has a lot of Halo games does not mean everyone who could possibly be interested in Halo has already bought them.
|
Likewise I will likely buy Halo Reach used. I'm not hyped on Halo Reach like I was on Halo 3. Halo 3 was the shit..."Finish the Fight!". Halo Reach is....meh...that book I read about Reach that doesn't include Master Chief and I already know the outcome of. Trust me, there are plenty of people like me that aren't hyped for Reach.
And i'm pretty sure it's a safe to say that people who purchased Halo 3 used aren't going to be in long lines on launch day for Reach.

Just for the record you do realize this is the Story of Noble Team and not Blue Team correct? In other words this game has litteraly nothing to do with the book other than it takes place during the Fall of Reach. We know what happened to John, Kelly, Linda and the rest but we have no idea what happened to Noble 6, Carter, Jorge and the rest of Team Noble. This story is complely new and untold.

More like the book had shit to do with Reach. Never talks about what happens on Reach just that all the spartans aside from MC went there to fight. But since Reach fell and no other spartans appeared in any of the Halo games we can assume they died.
Noble 6? Carter? Jorge? As a fan that played all 3 Halo game and read some books I don't even know who the heck those ppl are. And I've been on vgc for a years. I like to think I know more about game characters than casual FPS fans. If it's a new and untold story...shouldn't we be expecting sales along the lines of Halo 1??

ummmm no offense but did you read the book? The whole thing was about the Fall of Reach same thing with First Strike pretty much it picks up the story directly after Reachs Fall...also Noble 6, Carter, Jorge and them are the charecters in your squad in Reach. They are all spartan III's other than Jorge who is a Spartan II. They were a completley hidden and Blue Team as well as the rest of all the Spartan 2's and 3's had no idea they even existed. Basically a Black Ops group among Spartans which is pretty freaking crazy considering that the Spartans themselves were top secret for most of the war. Their existance didn't even become known until the UNSC told the troops about the unkillable Spartans in order to raise moral considering humanity was being absolutly anhilated by the covenant. We have no idea what their mission on Reach was or why they never made any contact with any of the other know Spartan Teams on Reach. Reach's story is gonna be truly epic trust me on that.
