| Gilgamesh said: Just a heads up to the people predicting waaay to high, before Halo 3 released the X360 was selling on average about 140K - 165K a month before Halo 3 released, now the week H3 released the X360 sold 230K (that's a 40% increase on sales when everyone wanted to to buy a X360 to play Halo), now that pretty much everyone that wants to play Halo already owns a X360 you expect Reach to make a 100% - 200% increase? Sorry but it's not going to happen. The X360 been constantly selling less and less every week (about 10K -20K less for the past few weeks) so by the time Reach releases it may be around 160K - 170K so if it some how matched Halo 3 hardware numbers (the X360 first Halo game) it'll only do about 230K - 240K with a 40% increase, but I doubt it'll do that much it should be less. |
It'll be well over 230k for sure. And the main reason is that when Halo 3 launched it was only the game itself pushing hardware. In this case there is the 360 S Reach which will be the primary cause of the boost not just the game itself. Theres ALOT of 360 owners who are waiting to upgrade due to the Reach bundle. Believe me I take their traded in old 360's and pre-ordered consoles every day.
If Vgchartz shows only 230k they will undertrack and NPD will prove it. It won't be massive numbers but It will be on the higher end of the 200ks close to 300k
