ioi is currently estimating that Reach will push over an extra 100,000 consoles in America in the first month.

@Machina why?

To quote him directly (America only):

"Halo will push SOME hardware, probably add 100k for the month to hardware. You can't launch with 3m units and not push some hardware, especially with bundles, new model 360 etc."


It doesnt really need to be explained... This idiotic arguement that nobody will be incentivised to buy a console for a Halo game because Halo 3 is already out is a way too simplisic way of looking at it.   

i don't think he questioned the system selling part but the 100k part



yeah soz if i wasn't clear I was just wondering where the 100k comes up cause that seems like one hell of a lot to me , but it might actually happen

MONSTER hunter has never been good on consoles but portables

look at PSP's MH2P at 3.90million in japan

 

REACH will sell consoles but GT5 will sell way more

 

people are wrong on these things:

 

reach won't sell any 360's

reach will sell alot of 360's

gt5 won't sell many ps3's

cause mach brought it up as ioi's comment of 100k

it certainly could happen overtime but week one 100k boost is a little too much but over the weeks,sure

i think a monster hunter on ps3 can move units in japan. monster huntri tri made wii reach 93k units sold the week it launched. it didnt sell alot but its not like the wii has a big audience for such games.

i agree with you people expect reach to keep 360 on top till fable comes out.

Okay to be fair, there was one one proper full Halo title on the 360. ODST was almost an expansion, and Halo Wars is a fan game, not a BIG blockbuster Halo. Halo 3 came out in 2007, and in 2007 PS2 was still the dominant system. I'm sure a lot of people considering to upgrade consoles have forgotten about Halo 3, so Halo Reach will push consoles, and a lot of them.

Also, just like how the White PS3 doubled PS3 sales in Japan, a limited edition Halo Reach Slim 360 will also push sales drastically.

100k in a week, that seems reasonable to me, as it's not just the game, but a limited edition console as well, overall it probably will push more consoles since you still have to consider the European and asian market.

100k in a week, no problem, lifetime it probably will boast 360 sales a lot more because if Halo does well, 360 does well this fall.

BTW kowenicki I completly agree with you. I would also like to add that Playstation 3 had Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which is one of the best selling PS3 exclusives, so it's not like gran Turismo is completly new to the PS3 either.

wii doesn't have the audience?

 

this is japan and not na or europe,hardcores buy wii there too

 

yeah PS3 could move PS3 units in japan more than wii did and sell more but would it be worth it to invest in ps3 mh game as mh wouldn't sell that much other regions

i was talking about numbers. not casuals and hardcore, my mistake.

true but if its treated as an exclusive and gets a 95 it can sell well. i dont think it will be worth it but its possible.

By next february I think, if it ever comes back to second or third. So it will be some 20 weeks at least.

The 360 has dominated the sales headlines with the release of the Slim model.  However the PS3 has been strong throughout the 360 slim launch and I can see it edging out the Wii soon.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the 360 lose its winning streak to the PS3 rather than the Wii even without the GT5 launch (which I believe will be massive in Europe).
