Forums - Sales - Japan Predictions: Halo Reach

Mr Puggsly on 10 September 2010

Now some of you may not be aware... but Halo is huge in Japan!!! Halo 1, 2, and 3 all surpassed the 100K mark (according to this site).

Demand there is so huge that they are even getting all the editions...

Halo: Reach Microsoft Game Studios HEA-00045 09/15/10 JP
Halo: Reach (Limited Edition) Microsoft Game Studios R4F-00007 09/15/10 JP
Halo: Reach (Legendary Edition) Microsoft Game Studios R3F-00006 09/15/10 JP
Halo: Reach (Xbox 360 Limited Edition Bundle) Microsoft Game Studios 09/15/10 JP

 

Halo 3 had an opening week of 60K.
Gears 2 was just under 50K.
MW2 did 50K.
What will Reach do?!?!?

I'm going to guess... 70K.

What are you guys expecting?

True, its because of the 360 we get so many Western games releasing there, and the fact that the PS3 later came onto the scene helped a lot. This is all despite the fact that the systems have otherwise struggled.

Now with the PS3 leading the region, itll be interesting to see how Western games continue to perform, its amazing even WRPGs do well there now even on the 360.

Yep....

Assassin's Creed, God of War III, Uncharted 2, KZ2 and even MAG sold decent amounts...

Soon, I believe Japan will expand further in terms of accepting Western games.
