Halo Reach is a JUGGERNAUT.  Major impact on hardware as I've been predicting for MONTHS even though people kept saying "Everyone who likes Halo already owns a 360.".

And PS3 above Wii 0_0

Nintendo is in trouble this holiday in regards to being a "dominant" system, especially with Kinect coming in November.

Actually i think people saying that have a more compelling argument as Reach only increased 50k over Halo 3.

If we had any idea of how many LE consoles sold or how many were produced for the region we could have a pretty good debate from both sides. But a few years after Halo 3 and a pretty even amount of Halo software i think its pretty safe to say the fanbase for Reach remained relatively flat all things considered.

Doesnt take anything away form the sales though. Its still ridiculous but anytime theres a LE bundle we have no idea other than tracking the software how many new users are gaming.

There were people all over this site claiming that Reach would move barely any hardware.  Its already provided a major jump and that is in EMEAA in America Halo and Xbox is a far stronger brand and will see a MAJOR increase.

Halo Reach is a massive hardware pusher.  This isn't up for debate.

While i cant speak for others i believe the general consensus was the boost would be dependent on available LE bundles.

Im simply of the belief that Halo is such a quality title that the sales from Halo 3 to Reach would not diminish based on quality like many sequals suffer from. Seeing as how it remained relatively flat software wise yet over the last 2 months oodles of 360's have been sold and a LE bundle is available im really thinking it isnt "moving hardware" in a sense making peopl ewho dont own a 360 go buy one, but rather the compelling new hardware combined with th eLE bundle to people who love all things Halo are more responsible than Halo itself.
