Here on VGC obviously. But if you want to count the whole internet, then I was probably a part of around 5%-10% who said it will sell more than 10m.

 

As far as Halo Reach goes, I already explained why.

You're new on this site, so learn to make good predictions first. Just saying "it's not called Halo 4" isn't enough. *cough* GTA Vice City and San Andreas *cough*

The 360 userbase when Halo 3 was released was 11m.

When Halo Reach comes out the userbase will be around 42m.

HD games are known for massive launch sales and Halo games for their good legs (same for CoD games). Halo 3 did 3.8m first week on a 11m userbase. Halo Reach will get at least the same sales (my guess is rather 4.5m) first week and then 10m+ LTD sales are just a matter of time.

Halo 3 is out since September 2007, so only 2 1/2 years. At the end of the gen it will probably have 12.5m sales (depending on the lenght of this gen of course).

 

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say with the last sentence.

There aren't any GameStops here or barely any shop that is dedicated to games where I live, but yes there are tousands of new Halo 3 copies on the shelves across the globe.

 

It's almost too easy for me to mention *cough* Halo Wars and Halo ODST *cough*

Halo wars was a joke, but it proved a perfect example, just because it has the word Halo in it, doesn't mean it's going to break records.

Sure ODST sold a good amount, but not even half of 3.

Going back to userbase examples are we ?

If it's as black and white as your saying it is, then shouldn't Forza 3 have destroyed Forza 2s sales ?

Sure, sure I get what your saying, this debate can easily be endless.

ALL I'm trying to say is, just because a system has a bigger userbase doesn't mean a sequel is going to sell "bat shit crazy"

It's NOT as simple as that

I will say 3.5mil launch day, 5 mil first month, and no chance in hell 10 mil by years end.

*sigh*

- Halo Wars is not even in the same genre. That's even worse than comparing a 2D GTA to a 3D GTA. Halo Wars is the most successful RTS game on consoles this gen. Thus broke a record and wasn't even developed by Bungie....

 

- Halo 3 ODST is a bigger expansion. 1 new multiplayer mode, a new 4-5 hours campaign and 3 new maps and yet it still sold fantastic.

I will say it again. 5 MILLION people bought ODST for 1 new multiplayer mode and a new (short) campaign. Now imagine a completely new (and longer) campaign and brand new multiplayer (not just one mode) and updated graphics.

 

- Forza 3 already outsold Forza 2, because ~2m of Forza 2 sales were from bundles.

 

And again I never claimed Reach will sell 10m by years end LOL

I believe halo wars is the best selling console rts ever released. That would be a record wouldn't it?

thank god MW2 failed and bombed completely on PC.

just like CoD4 on PC.

COD4 sold far more than MW2. COD4 could very well have near 10 millions on PC.

COD4 dominated Steam for almost an entire year, and D2D for several months. MW2 is struggling to stay top 3 on Steam, despite Steam being the ONLY DD store that is selling MW2 and only 4 months after launch.

COD4 also made way, way better on retail than MW2 is doing.

And in about 10 weeks it will probably surpass Halo 3.  That will be a sad sad day for many gamers.

 

Why is that? Will Halo 3 be less of a good game? people care waaaay to much about sales, and in this case its downright pathetic. For Christs sake, both game passed the 10 million mark, how can you even want more? :|

Ha ha I know.  I just wanted Halo 3 to remain on the top of the pack lol.

Same.  I love me my Halos.

I'm gonna have to say no.  CoD4 tanked just as bad as MW2.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm hiding before shio and nightsurge have an argument about CoD4 PC sales for the umpteenth time.
