This is very simple. Read the bolded.

"The only franchise in the world that can hang with Halo in terms of FPS fanbase is Call of Duty."

Halo Reach =8.21 m sold.

COD: Black OPS= 24.04 million.

Roughly triple it's numbers and it's doing this annually at the moment. By the end of this gen, COD will be the best selling series in one genration ever. I think it's at 85 million plus so far this gen.

 


Again your ignoring sales in comparison to individual platforms.  Halo oustsells PS3 versions of COD and hangs with or outsells the 360 version of COD in every case EXCEPT for Black Ops.  One game in a series is hardly comparable to the overall sales of a franchise on a console as a whole.

And are you honestly trying to compare adding up all sales for the game on every platform and compare them to the sales of an exclusive game on one?  You know my point and your just playing a game of semantics.  There should have been no problem in the first place I simply commented in response to someone who claimed Killzone has a currently higher player population than Halo when they aren't even close.  And of course since I said anything Pro 360 related I get jumped on.

Its honestly starting to get old for the 360 fans on here and I'm a huge PS3 fan as well but I usually don't even spend time sideing with it in discussion because the debates on this site are so unbalanced someone needs to be actually complimenting 360 stuff.

The PS3 version of Black OPS has outsold Halo Reach with less time on the market by 1.61 million. The series is growing, and it's utterly gigantic as this stage. Who would have thought a FPS on the PS3 could rival Halo?

I did compare the sales of the two series, and I think it's very telling. You were right to correct the other poster. There was never a problem, I had an issue with your original post, you stated something incorrect, so I addressed it.

It's an electronic device managed by a multibillion dollar company, you don't need to spend time defending it.
