ok, this is the sentence that got me: "Many of Gamestop’s employees believe that a large portion of the preorders are being made by consumers that don’t even own a Xbox 360, that are just waiting for the price of the system to go down. " This very sentence tells me that this aticle is not totally legit. What happened with Halo2 was that the majority of the copies sold were to people who already had an Xbox, and Microsoft knows this. However, they used the fact that they had a good selling game as a kind of propaganda, they made people believe that because they have a game that sells well they also have a system selling well. That sentence there (as this article is on this website, its obviously gonna be biased towards Xbox and i bet Microsoft had some input into it as well) shows that Microsoft are trying to give people the view that the 360 will continue on form as a result of Halo 3, despite recent poor sales. There will be a boost in sales, yes, i guarantee that, but the majority of these "4 million copies" (that seems a lil too high as well if you ask me) will go to the devout followers who already have a 360.
