Halo sells so well for 2 reasons: 1. A pretty decent story mode with offline/online co-op. It was the first of its kind, expecially for a console. 2. It has the best online multiplayer of any console game ever made. Think Goldeneye fun (if your old enough to of played it back in the day), online, and a bit more. IMO, I don't like Halo, it's too hokey for me, but the huge draw with Halo is the fact that right now, about 1 million people or more are playing it online as we speak. Its like the console version of World of Warcraft. The reasons I feel H3 will sell better is a higher online rate of players, a price drop, more favorable market conditions for the 360 to succueede, a longer lifespan of the 360, and far more hype for H3 due to there being major improvements on it. Go over to gamestats.com , they monitor the most-requested games on their circle of websites. H3 has been #1 for as long as I can remember. Even as others said, there are more retailer/consumer preorders for H3 vs. even GTAIV. Thats huge. Its not like Im predicting Halo because I like the game. I dislike the game. I never owned H1 or H2 and never will own H3. It sucks to me. But that doesn't change the fact that MS has set themselves up for huge sales this christmas for the game, weather I like it or not.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
