SolidSnakeR4D: the 17m more potential buyers don't want HALO as they would have bought it the first time.
HALO's hardcore base is around 5-6m,other just hoped because of the hype and COOLNESS and slowly it reached 10m with HALO REACH
a little more time and sales following and you will learn that userbase doesn't always matter

If I can understand your reasoning you think that none of the 360 buyers since Halo 3 launched have bought the game? Less than half the buyers are hardcore users which is important, somehow and you offer some sage advice from the vastly superiour height of your 2300 posts. Well thanks, I guess.
Cherrypicking the few examples where larger userbase didn't translate into larger sales doesn't negate basic logic. Not for me at least. I offered some reasoned and reasonable points while you offer nos. from Sony's golden age and a heaping helping of humble pie. Previous GT game's LT sales were infuenced by the large and growing userbase last gen just as the smaller base for GT5 and the larger base for Reach vs. H3 will each have an effect.
It will be interesting to see if god's gift to game sales prognostication or poor noobius maximus with 336 posts proves more accurate. Good luck sir! You'll need it. I was under the impression this site wanted more users. From the years I have been following VGC it needs a lot more 360 owners to approach some kind of objective balance.
