All this shows is what anyone sensible knew, which was that most Halo gamers already had a 360 and that it was unlikey we'd see a huge jump in sales from Halo 3. No surprise there. Anyone thinking Reach was going to see sales growth over Halo 3 in ratio to the 360 user base growth was crazy, frankly.
Actually, I think this is positive for the 360. It shows it no longer relies on Halo the way the Xbox did and the 360 did early in it's life. Now the 360 has sold to lots of people who are not interested in Halo, who just see it as a good console for playing the kind of games they like to on, be that Modern Warfare or Assassin's Creed or Mass Effect or whatever.
This is progress for MS. If the 360, like the Xbox before it, remained locked in as mainly a console to get Halo on it simply wouldn't have seen the sales growth it has.
Reach shows a decent growth of 5% or so and to expect much more would be - well - unreasonable I think.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
