Halo Reach will topple that, but great sales nonetheless.

You guys can't be serious ?

I'll bet both my left nuts that Reach won't touch 10mil !!

Bungie will never see another 10mil.. unless they removed the word Reach and replace it with the number 4.

Sorry guys, but it's not gonna happen.

Reach will easily sell more than 10m. Probably a bit less than MW2 though, so I guess ~13m

Damn... Sorry, I didn't realize I was in the "Microsoft Discussion" section.. See, I'm still new here.

Either way, It's never gonna happen, let me guess, you guys think it'll hit 4mil Pre orders ?

Sorry guys, but it's just not going to happen, I'd say maybe, MAYBE 3mil first day, but no way this will be bigger than MW2 launch, nothing will.

blah blah...

already heard that when people thought MW2 will never touch 10m on 360.

I was about the only one saying it will sell more than 10m on 360 and around 20m combined.

Halo Reach is the next big Halo game. Don't pretend it isn't. Halo 3 ODST (barely a full new game) sold around 5m and will hit 6m eventually, so a full fledged Halo game with new campaign, new multiplayer, better graphics, on a 3 times bigger userbase won't have much trouble going past 10m at all.

And I never said it will have a bigger launch than MW2 and it doesn't need to.

haha You were "about the only one" saying it would sell more than 10m on 360 ?

Really ? You've done the research ? You asked the internet, and the internet came back and said "Sorry Barozi, no one else agrees with your 10mil remark, you are about the only one on all of the internet".

wow, that IS impressive, did you use Google or Bing ?

 

Can you explain the "won't have much touble going past 10m at all" part of your post ?

Because after doing a quick search on VGC I've noticed that Halo 3 hasn't hit 11mil yet and that games been out for... *busts out a calendar*... *Busts out a calculator*...

.... A LONG FUCKING TIME.

Go ahead, I DARE you to say "Yea well there are 3 times as many 360s out now so it won't be the same"

My only response to that is, When you walk into GameStop can you find a new copy of Halo 3 on the shelf ?

Yea... That's what I thought.

Here on VGC obviously. But if you want to count the whole internet, then I was probably a part of around 5%-10% who said it will sell more than 10m.

 

As far as Halo Reach goes, I already explained why.

You're new on this site, so learn to make good predictions first. Just saying "it's not called Halo 4" isn't enough. *cough* GTA Vice City and San Andreas *cough*

The 360 userbase when Halo 3 was released was 11m.

When Halo Reach comes out the userbase will be around 42m.

HD games are known for massive launch sales and Halo games for their good legs (same for CoD games). Halo 3 did 3.8m first week on a 11m userbase. Halo Reach will get at least the same sales (my guess is rather 4.5m) first week and then 10m+ LTD sales are just a matter of time.

Halo 3 is out since September 2007, so only 2 1/2 years. At the end of the gen it will probably have 12.5m sales (depending on the lenght of this gen of course).

 

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say with the last sentence.

There aren't any GameStops here or barely any shop that is dedicated to games where I live, but yes there are tousands of new Halo 3 copies on the shelves across the globe.
