The hype for this game is bigger than Halo 3 ... at least for people i know.


really? So half the people going to school are going to skip school for this game? It's going to have 100 plus people lines all over the U.S at midnight?

I doubt it

kinda suprising to me that reach sales are this high considering the hype for this game is nowhere near halo 3's hype.. atleast in terms of normal non 360 core gamers


No offence LeoJ, but you are the last person that should be judging Halo Reach hype on a 360 platform...

This is quite an interesting bet here. Its going to be close.

well obviously it's an offense, no reason to say no offense when you are going to offend..

anyhow say what you want, but you people are really really out there to think REACH will not only have a bigger FW than HALO 3.. but reach will outsell MGS4 LTD in just a week which is 5 million.. what game has done 5 million fw again?

Only MWF2 maybe.. and MWF2 is FAR FAR bigger than REACH may be at launch based on hype alone

wait you still think that Halo Reach will have a hard time matching Halo 3 first week and no chance at MW2's first week.

You are confusing "hype advertising" with actual hype. The reason MW2 seems like had more hype is because every TV ad had quotes like "Game event of the generation!"... "Jawdropping...mesmerising"...all set to epic gameplay footage. The oldest trick in advertising, hype builds hype...

Halo Reach is taking a pure casuals aproach to their campaign. They know hardcore people will buy it. In the TV ad, they don't even show any gameplay footage, but are presenting it like a movie which is essential when trying to appeal to people who may not be too much in to videogames. Also they are doing lots of weird ad promotions like this - http://www.nextgenplayer.com/2010/08/halo-reach-sneak-peak-in-toronto.html

I'm the one that bet over 12 million in 10 weeks, and I still believe it is going to happen.

Halo Reach is going to be over 5 million.

As awesome as Halo: Reach is going to sell first week, it's not going to outsell New Super Mario Bros. Wii (the fastest selling game on a single platform to 10 million) in its first ten weeks. Heck, you're saying that Reach will even outsell Halo 3 and Modern Warfare 2's lifetime sales in 10 weeks?

No way Jose.

Fixed that one for ya there Smeagsy
