The best-selling HD Collection so far, God Of War: Collection, was also the first one to be released, ironically, by Sony. It has sold over 2.4 million units on PS3 alone as of May 31st, 2012. By now probably it has sold way more, I'd guess over 2.6 million units on PS3 alone. We also know that it has sold well digitally on the PS Vita, but have no idea exactly how well it has sold on that platform.So let's only consider the PS3 version. Can Halo: MCC outsell it?

We have to consider the following factors:

1. Halo: MCC is launching on a much smaller install base than GOW: Collection (+ GOW, - Halo)

2. Halo: MCC consists of 4 games while GOW: Collection consisted of just 2 games (+ Halo, - GOW)

3. Halo is a bigger franchise than GOW (+ Halo, - GOW)

4. Halo: MCC is launching for $60 while GOW: Collection launched for $40 (+ GOW, - Halo)

5. Halo games have multiplayer modes while GOW and GOW II don't have any (+ Halo, - GOW)

6. Halo CE, 2, 3 and 4 have lengthier single-player campaigns compared to GOW and GOW II (+ Halo, - GOW)

 

These points may favour Halo: MCC, but its not decided just yet.

When someone makes a list of points, typically, the first point is the most important.
When you look at your first point, it directly relates to the sales of the game.  Additional points are usually made because the poster is biased and wants a particular side to win.

You could easily add more points and make GOW win.  Just silliness...

WTF dude have you checked out my sig? My top 10 favourite games of all time include 3 GOW games, why would I be biased against it? I listed more than one point because they are all relevant, and I didn't exactly say which game would win, just gave some points to think about before you decide.

Why do people always feel that someone is attacking someone else on here.  I am just merely pointing out that the only relevant point is the first one, since it directly relates to sales.  Points 2 and 4 can be combined and therefore be null and void.  Halo MCC Collection is 60 dollars for 4 games.  GOW I and II (two games) came out for 40 dollars.

Point 3 is an opinion and should be omitted.  Then in points 5 and 6, you act as if the GOW collection is coming out this generation just like the MCC collection.  You act as if not having multiplayer during the PS2 era was a terrible thing.  The game was a very successful franchise without having any sort of multiplayer.  Again point 6 points out that older games have shorter single player campagins.  I am surprised that you didn't point out the graphics in favor of the MCC collection as well....
