Sales - Understanding Halo - View Post

Ok, it seems I was wrong after all, sorry for the waste of time and fingertips...

Not Really, you brought up a good point about "Call of Duty Fever." Modern Warfare only sold 1 million duing it's first week, but it kept high numbers up over the Holidays, and sold well throughout 2008. So Initially there wasn't as much CoD Fever, but it picked up quick. This will cut sales, if it weren't for Modern Warfare 1 and Black Ops, Halo would be a 15 million seller game, both Halo 3 and Reach.

The only flaw of your logic is that it's the sole reason why Reach will sell less then Halo 3 did. I just don't understand that. Yes Black Ops is comming out, and it's likely to be the best selling Treyarch CoD title, but it's still a Treyarch title. So even if Call of Duty fever is stronger now, this isn't a primary Modern Warfare title.

Still it's a valid point, but it's only one point. The whole purpose of this thread is not to introduce subjective clauses, but to look at the data. I'm not trying to predict Halo: Reach sales, I am trying to track it and compare it to other Halo games, so that when Black Ops releases, people can understand how big this Halo will/has become.
