To Bodhesatva,

It is not about me or you, it is about the fact that Halo is an Xbox fan targeted game (the only one that played Halo1 and 2, except PC player that just get bad port) that should not considerably improve Xbox30 sales.
I never claimed it will not sell a lot, I just think it is not an amazing release since we know since 2 years that Halo3 will come on Xbox360.
And the comparaison with Heavenly+Warhawk+Unchartred if useless since there is still 3 Xbox360 owners for 1 PS3 owners.
Yes it will sell but I m not sure it is a system seller.


 I'm going to say this as kindly as I can: I think you're nuts.  Are you seriously trying to argue that Halo 3, because it will be coming out as an Xbox 360 exclusive (until the inevitable PC version comes out), will not sell games and boost console sales?  I agree with Bodhesatva that you are completely underestimating this game.
