Halo 3 digital sales.
Halo 3 goes free in 7 days, for 15 days for XBox 360 Gold members.
That could be 1,2,3 million? 10 million? Any XBox Live Gold subscriber can download them World Wide.

So nope.

free=sales? So now estimations count in this sales war? Might as well say Halo 3 will sell 40 million.

A sale is a sale even if It's free.

I don't know how many people will download it to be honest. It's one of the best selling games on the 360 and It's a older game. My guess is 1+ million easily since it will be free to gold members World Wide.

Point is there is no way GT5 will outsell Halo 3 thanks to it being free and GT6 is out which will kill It's sales.

1. Sale

the exchange of a commodity for money; the action of selling something. "we withdrew it from sale"

synonyms: selling, vending; More antonyms: purchase a quantity or amount sold. "price cuts failed to boost sales"

So just to clarify a sale isn't a sale if its free. But you are correct(kind of), since you pay for XBL Gold which comes with games for gold it is essentially a sale. I feel 1 million downloads is reasonable. Nonetheless I do agree with you GT5 won't be outselling the beast that is Halo 3 no chance.
