Forums - Microsoft - Why Halo Reach will outsell Halo 3

It would if this happened:

At E3 a shocking announcement! Halo Reach will also be available for the PS3. A sony rep had this to say "Gegshemash! First we copy Nintendo now we copy Microsofts tactics of nicking our exclusives, Nice!"

If i had to put money on the best selling HD exclusive this generation, it would be halo reach. It has far more selling potential then halo 3 and as long as there aren't any major flaws with the final game. And I mean real flaws, not opinions on why the game sucks as quite frankly many people said halo 3 sucked and obviously they were a small minority if it still sells well today and is the only exclusive game an HD console has that can compete with wii game sales.

All bullshit aside, I don't care what it sells, all I know is it'll have a themed Halo Reach 360 Bundle, with 250GB HDD and two controllers. I'm sold!





Don't ask me how I know that. Just consider it a hunch!


OMG! How did he know?!

Anyway, does VGChartz count bundled sales for a game? And does NPD? If not, Reach sales might look lower than they really are.



It will have a bigger launch thats for sure. As for legs needed to REACH halo3's numbers, im really on the fence. But like CGI, I dont care how much it sells, all I know is it'll have a themed Halo Reach 360 Bundle, with 250GB HDD and two controllers. I'm sold!

Reach = GOTY

Btw how long has the coloured-fonts been back?



Reach should have the biggest openning of any Halo so far.  Whether it outsells Halo 3 LTD is tricker as there is simply so much more competition now, with Modern Warefare, Medal of Honour, etc. all competing for the same FPS players.

However, with a larger install base and each main series entry seeming to tempt in more players it must surely have a fair shot at outselling Halo 3.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

it will not outsell Halo 3



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I predict 3.5 million first week and a lil bit over 10 million lifetime for Reach.

But with that said, I think it's a mistake by Bungi to leave Microsoft and Halo and try to make a new game. From an artistic creation point of view I can't speak for them, they probably are tired of Halo and want to create something new but saleswise it will be hard for them to make a 10 million seller. How many new 10 million seller franchises have we seen in this gen on HD consoles? Only Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed.

Yes, I am also a little bitter. Quite much in fact.



i doubt it I hope for good gt5 sales

Actually, neither Assassin's Creed sold 10 million, unless the first broke 2 million on PC.
