Anybody who thinks this can outsell Halo 3 is fooling himself. First we have the generation effect. It comes very late in a generation. Then we have the competition (which I think is the reason for the slight downward trend of Halo games). Call of Duty will steal more sales from Halo 4 than what it did from Halo 3. And thirdly, while the game looks graphically very nice (but so does the competition) I see no other reasons for it to be perceived as better than Halo 3. It's impossible to beat that 94% Meta of Halo 3 (for comparison Reach got 91%). 9 million lifetime. |
i was going to say halo 3 had to compete against the orange box but it seems like that didn't sell even close to what i thought...btw i did not see a downward trend yet. odst was something totally different with no real new multi-player and reach was something different as well. it could be that trend and we will see it when halo 4 will release but i don't think reach or odst are good indicators.
