Forums - Microsoft Discussion - halo reach- 6 million first week?

ruff_romeo on 14 April 2010

I think the game at this magnitude and fan base, you have to see all the hype, books, and the anime that its released since the release of Halo 3. So you can guarantee that not only has the halo fanbase shot up between now and then, the xbox 360 install base will have shot up and will carry on shooting up as Natal is released and E3 is hyped up. This will be the biggest year in gaming history and for MS, and I have no doubts in my mind that those first week figures are achievable.

To add to that, MS also promised a Shock & Awe marketing campaign that will have a budget BIGGER than a Hollywood blockbuster!!

6.3-6.5 million

I think it could do 8 million if the response to the beta is strong. It could do as low as 5 if people aren't blown away by it.

Ask this question again about May 10.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

I would say above 4 Million for sure. I would love to see it do 6 Million though.

It all depends on how much they hype it, Halo 3 was hyped beyond believe. They never showed so many tv spots for a game in my country before, there was about as much advertisement as for a movie like Pirates of the Carribean 3. If they do that again then 6 million is possible under the best of circumstances.

Personally I think Reach will come close to Halo3 's lifetime sales but it will have a slow start. I know I got Halo 3 in the first week due to the hype. But I regret buying it so soon as I'm used to getting a long single player campaign from a full price game. So I wont be getting Reach until it's 50% off and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

It definately won't have a slow start.  Off topic: Are you not a multiplayer person? If you only buy games for campaign I could see waiting but if you plan on waiting for 50% off you won't be getting the game till next gen or you will be buying a used copy a couple years down the road.
