My point is. An argument saying "There are more systems out now, so Example 2 is going to sell more than example 1" is pointless. You can never predict something like that. For Example Gears of War 1 Sales 6.03m Gears of War 2 Sales 5.62m Gears 2 came out 2.5 years after Gears 1. But then people come back with the argument "Yea well example 1 has been out longer than example 2" which again, is pointless. All I'm saying it just because example 1 sold 5 million doesn't mean example 2 will sell 8 millions or example 3 will sell 12 million JUST BECAUSE the install base is bigger. Not everyone that buys an Xbox is a Halo fan, maybe you guys should think about that while I get myself a drink. |
Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 released around the same time just before Christmas 2007. Call of Duty 4 is one of the best selling games on the 360 but it doesnt come close to Halo 3.
Two years later its sequel Modern Warfare 2 has been released and although it will probably over take Halo 3 pretty soon, its still arguable that the Xbox 360 has more Halo fans than Call of Duty fans, despite the rather obvious fact that not everyone who has a 360 is a Halo fan. Halo 3 has sold around 10.8 million copies, how many of those have been resold?
Given that when Halo Reach launches the 2nd hand players wont have the option of getting a used copy it will boost Halo Reachs sales, it may not launch aswell a Modern Warfare 2 but thats yet to be seen and if a possibility. IMO given that Halo 3 outsold Cod 4 pretty easily I think Halo Reach will outsell MW2?
