So what's the point of this? A desperate attempt to down-play the huge sales of Halo Reach and not a good one at that...

You obviously want to compare the 360 vs PS3 software sales-wise... thus you choosing Reach vs CoD Black Ops (PS3 version) But why? There's a 360 version that will almost definitey outsell the PS3 version so if by some unlikely reason the PS3 version of CoD were to outsell Reach... so what then? The 360 version will counter it.... why not chose a PS3 exclusive against Reach? Oh right... they don't sell as well...

So that leads me to believe... desperate much?

Xbox 360 has outsold the PS3 in both Hardware and Softwware....and not to mention downloadable games which 360 has in the bag too... accept it and get over it! Seriously...

this isnt god damn youtube, people dont try to down play things. its not a console war, its just a prediction and it created a good discussion, until you and other new kids came in. his prediction isnt insane, hence its acceptable and not used to provoke people or cause a flame war.

I stand with what I've said... there's no point to this.

Im not doing anything... I just think this is how it is. It's not youtube? Thanks for that very important information that I didn't know about..................................again just saying what I think.

The guy is comparing a multiplat PS3 version with a 360 exclusive... sound a little wierd? maybe a bit unusual? A little desperate? Yes yes yes... and it just seems like the truth to me.

Nothing much to talk about here...

In response to both of the alerts, let's end this line here. I do think the prediction is insane (I'll get to that in a bit), but this is a sales site, and thus, discussion of sales has nothing to do with Youtube or anything of the sort. We have people on all sides of the fence who are... overly optimistic about their preferred system. Thus, this thread is fine, and it shows no signs of desperation; rather, is a general thing I would see on the symptoms.

On the other alert, the entire thing is not the fault of "new kids." Any site, in order to grow, or hell, even to remain stable, must find new members to replace ones that retire from posting. They may come into it viewing things differently, but you don't have any rules to stand on by attacking the new person. As I said in the prior paragraph, yes, I do think it's insane, but it doesn't break any rules. And I'm not exactly just a new person, either... So, to both sides, let's drop this direction.

Topic at hand, I don't see how the PS3 version alone could best Reach's first week. The CoD games that have sold best have been the Modern Warfare games, a moniker this title lacks, thus, the connection to the casual player will be less. Then you have the more devoted gamers; some may be jaded by the huge rift with Activision, others know that it's not a game from Infinity Ward, and may think less of it for that. Coupled with the fact that MW2's sales would need to increase even more in the first week leaves me not seeing it. I'm thinking enough down things are in place to see 2.5m first week on PS3, and 3.25m on 360.
