Oh yes...total ownage. I was obviously referring to xbox live mp, not lan parties. Nonetheless, many people bought the halo game for it's story and don't give two shits about a prequel. I'll be laughing come September. 

What is your beef with Reach? Seriously you're just being plain ignorant if you think nobody cares about Reach and it won't come close to Halo 3 in sales. This prequel argument is laughable. Lets not compare the past of MGS on PS2 to Halo which is the flagship brand on Xbox. Halo to Xbox is Mario to Nintendo. Funny thing is what I'm reading here about people's friends not being interested is the complete opposite of what I'm experiencing. All of my friends who never purchased Halo 3 are hyped for Reach and at the moment taking turns borrowing my Halo 3 and ODST copies. I think many FPS fans are really starting to get turned off by COD's glitches and various other problems and are looking for another big FPS to sing their teeth into. Reach will bring in new fans.

Are you coming out of left field? Did you read the title of this thread? Did you read my arguments? We're having a discussion about outselling HALO 3. Because I don't think Reach will outsell Halo 3 means I have beef with it?
 
Prequel argument is laughable? Oh yeah because basing an argument on historical trends and data is sooo laughable compared to your assertion that Halo Reach will outsell Halo 3 because "it's Halo".

Oh yeah...everyone has the famous friends which are going to prove their argument. Really? I'm astounded you have friends that have never bought Halo 3 (i doubt they bought any halo for that matter then right? or ever played halo?) and are all of a sudden hyped for Reach....really what are they so hyped about? Halo 3 had more hype than Reach does now and your telling me Reach, the prequel, is going to outsell the game which ended the trilogy?? That's laughable.

Really please make a list of what your non-halo3 buying friends are hyped about. I'm dying to read that. =)
