"Doubt that Reach will hurt the Move sales... I don't see a reason why someone would doubt between Halo or Move. It's totally different. "

They launch the same week. Anyone who is thinking about picking up a console during next week is going to see and hear all the buzz of Reach and they will go pick up a xbox 360. The hype of Reach will totally screw up the move since people will put all their attention on Reach and forget about Move.

"I also don't see the connection between Kinect and GT5. Once again two differnt things."

Kinnect can steal the casuals who are deciding on buying ps3 during the time of GT. What I said was if MS lowers the price of Kinnect during the week of GT5 launch it can lower potential HW boost for ps3.

"You say Microsoft is smart to release Kinect near GT5 , than why is it stupid for Sony to release Move close to Reach``

I didnt say  kinnect is coming out the same time as GT5. -_-

``I also doubt a pricedrop for the 360. I think it would be more likely that we will see a Ps3 pricedrop combined with GT5. Ps3 GT5 for 299 and PS3 for 250. Also , most Halo gamers allready have an Xbox since there have been multiple Halo games on the 360.``

What the difference between you saying the ps3 will get a price cut and I am saying the 360 . We already know MS can lower the price. They cut the price by almost half when GOW 3 came out, and they can do it again for GT5. They dont want to ps3 to gain ground. So if geting a lower profit will keep it from happening than so be it.  And this whole most halo fans already own a 360 is BS. Look at COD it increases every year on the 360. Also you baiscally told me that the Halo series cant make any new fans. That a load of crap, there tons of people out there that dont own a halo game. And Reach might be their first.

``I do see a lot of people waiting for GT5 to release to buy their PS3. I even now some elder people (30-40-50) that are going to buy a Ps3 for blu-ray and GT5. They don't care about Halo , CoD or Killzone.`` 

So there is alot of people who dont own a 360 and will get Reach. I have a 2 friends who bought a 360 this weekend just for Reach. They dont care about GT5 or blu ray.

And how come your 2 friends are revelant?They are not,sorry.

You're saying Kinect can hurt ps3's sales during the release of GT5,but Move cannot hurt 360's sales?No one can know for sure what will happen,yet you seem to act like you know,showing a ''little'' bias towards the 360.Please stop spamming the thread with such a fanboyish attitude,thx.

As others have said... It may be impossible to measure.

But it would be a major coup if Reach pushed more than GT5...

after all... all the people who wanted Reach already bought a 360 for Halo 3...

didnt they?


U know even people with a 360, may have the older units & been holdin out for the Limited Edition Reach console...I'm one of those people, besides I want a 2nd console for my living room anyway

Your hats on wrong and your statement is silly. I hope you stay around when it releases, a few meltdowns may make the GT5 threads more interesting.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
-As you can see, sales % increases between GT3 and Halo 3 were almost identical, down to the percentage.
-What does this show for Halo: Reach and GT5? Both shall show increases in console sales, but theres a problem. Halo: Reach isn't the first Halo title on the console. A majority of the 360 console buyers will be people who lost their 360 to RRoD and are getting another (probably bundled) when Reach releases. Will the increases still be large? Yes, but they probably won't come within 10-15% of what GT5 will push. 
-Also, comparing following week sales of Halo 3 vs. GT 3, console sales too much longer to fall back to normal levels following the release of GT3 as compared to Halo 3. GT5 should go on to push a MUCH higher percentage of hardware for the first 4 week after release as compared to Halo: Reach.
-If both Reach and GT5 are equally bundled in all regions, the sales % increase Week on Week for consoles will be almost double on the PS3 thanks to GT5. Sales month over month for PS3 should see a MINIMUM 3 fold increase over what Reach pushes on the 360 as compared to the month before release.
-Sadly, there won't be any accurate way to track this sales % increase since GT5 releases in November, and sales Month over Month for November are already going to be near double what they are for October.
-All-in-all, if GT5 is able to push a near 40% hardware increase this holiday season like GT3 did for the PS2, that should account to more than 50,000 additional PS3s sold the week of GT5 release (and thats assuming that the PS3 only sells HALF of what it did 1st week of November 09 because of the slim release).

You do realize that the GT5 Prologue has sold 5 million units, correct? Please don't make it blatantly obvious that you're a  FPS 360 fan. You've got that tattooed all over your face right now.

no, it won't.

There have been plenty of HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE Halo games, and all have moved plenty of hardware, and this is the first gt game for ps3, I can even say GT5 will move more hardware than reach in Americas

Had to fix your first set of figures. You had GT3 twice. :P

 

I fixed it already. I rushed to fix it because I know how VG members have this dying urge for some reason to quite the largest possible posts and to tree up ~10 different posts in a single quote for SEVERAL posts in a row to make that single page about a mile long... 

 

So maybe you can edit your post so it doesn't include a huge quote of something that was already posted and doesn't need to be quoted over and over and over.

No way to tell.  When GT5 comes out, it'll be closer to Christmas.  Everything will be selling better AND the 360 will have Kinect on the market.  I think GT5 will cause the bigger bump, though.  People have been waiting for this game since Jimmy Carter was president.  Reach is the third Halo game (fourth if you count Halo Wars) to satisfy people's Halo itch.
