Forums - Sales - Halo 3 launch sales vs MGS4 launch sales

Honestly, i think nothing will sell as great as halo 3 first week unless the company is willing to throw tons of cash into hyping it.

If any chances it will be between FFXIII or SSBB

Btw
Xbox360 = Halo
Ps3 = FFXIII
Wii = SSBB

MGS4 WILL SELL WAY MORE THAN HALO3 IN LAUNCH WEEK!!!!!!!

Since everyone's trying to start flame threads:

 

Will MGS4 leave Halo 3's launch sales "IN THE DUST" as people are assuming???

Fire away people.

EDITED: removed "everyone"


I would be shocked if anyone thought MGS4's launch would be higher then Halo 3's.  I don't think any game this generation will have a higher launch week.



I don't even have a PS3 (technically, I don't have a 360 either due to the rrod), but there is no doubt in my mind that MGS4 will be a BETTER game than Halo 3. Problem is, it won't be as accessable as Microsoft's pride and joy. Anyone can play Halo. Halo 3 was my first time playing the series, but I jumped right in and had a blast. Metal Gear, on the other hand, has a 20 year history. It may have a new conrol system-- I don't know--but it will be the evoloution of a scheme that began on the PS1 and evolved on the PS2. The storyline- regardless of how amazing it is-- is convoluted and probably intimidating for new comers.

Bottom line: Halo and it's sequels have outsold MGS every year since 2001. Nobody should expect Snake and his entourage to change that trend with it's newest addition selling on half the installed base. Still, I'm gonna buy a PS3 for this game. Everyone probably SHOULD play it!! Everyone won't.



MGS certainly won't see the initial sales Halo 3 did , but I'm pretty sure ,that it will sell well regardless.



I thin ONLy

GT5 or FFXIII can do this feat

 Consoles owned - SNES, N64, PS, GC, PS2, PSP, PS3

My prediction for YEARS END:

WII - 18.3 Million

Xbox 360 - 15 Million

Playstation 3 - 8.5 Million

The only game capable of beating Halo 3 sales in the near future is GTA4, and I even dare to say that probably won't even happen.



Only judge a game on own experience.
