Haha easy there guy. Read into my message a little. My point is the lowish sales of the XBO. I'm fully aware of how sales work, but ppl are predicting sales close to Halo 3 levels. Halo 3 released on a system that was the #1 in the world (also, as an aside, Halo 3 released when halo was at it's peak. It is no longer peaking). Peoples predictions involve an expectation for, in my opinion, an unreasonable attach ratio. XBO, following it's current sales rate, will likely be at around 30mill in 2-2.5yrs. After this period of time, u would expect halo to be at least approaching it's LT sales number. So 10mill would mean a 30% attach ratio. Has any Halo game had a 30% attach ratio? If so, I will stand, corrected. 

Also, your GT3 comparison is flawed, again due to the popularity issue. Sure, it's possible for some games to sell more than their predecessors despite a smaller user base, but it has to involve an attach ratio within reason.

For the record, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing, but responding caustically tends to get negative responses. As seen in posts other than just mine. 


What? Your expecting the XB1 to reach 30 million LT, or in a few years? It'll probably be past 30 million by holiday 2016. It'll still have another 2-3 years before a successor, and it'll still sell quite a bit until its discontinued.


Haha no no no. Reread my message my friend. I said halo would likely be at least approaching it's LT sales after 2-2.5yrs. I said the XBO would likely be around 30mill in 2-2.5yrs. I was just guesstimating based off sales to date. Could be more.
