Why would Reach cause people to become new owners of 360 systems?

[Michael-5]

1. A lot of people interested in the 360 Slim who know about an upcomming limited edition Reach-Slim bundle will buy the console and the game.

2. ODST is not a proper Halo game, the 360 only has had 1 main Halo game, and that was 3 years ago when the console was $400 and a lot newer. Now that the console has aged a bit, many people who have still to buy a console, will consider a 360 when Reach comes out.

3. Every big blockbuster game attracts new console owners. It doesn't matter if there was a Halo prior.

4. The franchise is growing in popularity, some people were just not aware of Halo before, and now that more and more people talk about it, a lot of newcomers will join the action.

5. Monkey see, Monkey want. People who walk into a store and play Halo off a display console may just buy a 360 because the game is so much fun and they didn't realize how fun Halo can be.

6. Halo makes the fall lineup look significantly better, so for new console buyers who are comparing new PS3 and 360 game, Halo will push them towards 360.

Probably a lot more reasons too, Halo: Reach should push a lot of consoles. Can't wait for the data in 2 weeks.
