Ok... this is really cool... but i think that the experience you would have playing Uncharted, God of War, Resistance and Killzone would be a lil higher than playing Halo :/


Depends on if you have friends or not.

Only in US (since it is NPD)? That's like saying FF13 for PS3 has outsold Halo 1 2 3, Fable 1 2, Forza 1 2 3, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon combined...only in Japan.

Either way, everyone knows that Halo is a seller, and Sony does not have anything close to it (hope for GT5) right now.

I hate the whole NPD thing,  they just need to use VGC numbers and qoute WW totals.   Cause your example would work very well in the PS3s favor keeping the same ignorance as this is.  

Also  GT5 will be huge but its biggest base is in Europe,  so it still wont do well against Halo 3 in the US



So Halo 3 sold well.  Who would have guessed?  Those games would have 10.692 times as many pixels per square inch though.  Don't quote this figure.  My wild guesstimation of 30m total Halo sales this gen does look possible though.

My point was the meat of H3 is in it's multiplayer, even if it has a great campaign.  It's sort of the opposite for those Sony games from what I understand (dunno about R2, but it was pretty panned anyway).

What would provide the better "experience" probably hinges on what sort of gamer you are.



ofcourse, lets throw US sales there, because that's the only place you are doing good enough to gloat in ..

I sent a message, asking why he only talks about US sales =P

shit if hes saying this, then what are the xbox fans gonna be like? anyway microsoft should be more worried that the 360 is sellng only 30k a week in europe right now. there really is nothing to be happy about there microsoft, especiialy when you have the cheapest console.
