WOW impressive. 

And look at that hardware bundle at number 4!  Can't wait to see the hardware boost Reach brings.  Though I still think VGChartz estimate of 4.25 million first week is too conservative I think it'll be closer to 4.5 - 4.7 million range.

if its not 5M then i will lose my bet :/


well I think you might be in trouble there.

but on the plus side for Halo fans is I'm pretty damn convinced that the 4.25 estimate is too low.  I mean Reach is launching on a console with over 2x the install base it had when Halo 3 launched and its first week will only increase by 400k units?  That doesn't seem right to me, not at all.  It won't do under 4.5 million first week. 

I agree with you.. I just posted a comment under the vgchartz article here: http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/81930/halo-reach-pre-orders-pass-two-million-worldwide/

After I posted it I realised the 360 has about 10 more million consoles out there worldwide then it did.. it should sell more Halo and more COD as well.  Although I think Halo is much better ( better story, better variety of weapons, better characters, online play, etc.. ) Its good to see the 360 is so far ahead of the PS3 in total games sold ( over the life of the console by about 150 million copies )



Around the Network

We have to wait and see if the weak economy plays a big part here. Games like MW2 had a decent economy. Reach has millions of fewer jobs and poor confidence numbers. We've seen plenty of games, Alan Wake among them, miss the mark this year. The question is: Is Halo bigger than all that, can it do more than MW2?

whatever said:

The $20 video games credit certainly helps.  It will push more people to Amazon than to other outlets.


Main reason I bought Metroid Other M. I bought Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light for 16.22! A steal for a Pre-Order.
