Yeah the key is whether they include the bundle sales...because at $400 that will rack up fast.

You would think they would, because they want the number to sound as impressive as possible. But we still dont know for sure.

pshhht yahoo.com says it made 200mil day 1 in USA alone. And ofc that is the most reliable source.

Regardless, we will see in a week what it made week 1. Not a long wait to see if it outsold halo 3.

Microsoft's Phil Spencer said "Globally". Not to mention he said this at a TGS briefing.

USA = The World !

But seriously unless I know his sources he's not more credible than VGChartz. I seriously doubt the sources are internally so who are they ? Chart-Track ? Famitsu ? NPD? Well that's it. Covers much of the market but not everything.

Furthermore he said it HIT $200m day one and Halo 3 did OVER $300m week one. I'm pretty sure the real Reach numbers will be higher than $200m. That was just a nice sum to write in articles, but extremely unlikely that the numbers were in between $200m and $204.9m. A number that could be given to the press, but too early to have a more precise results.

Damn it, I can't argue that.

Anyways his sources are Microsoft, considering they own the IP and it is a first party title.

Maybe they made $200 Million dollars in shipped? O_o

Now that would suck huh? lol.

Or maybe they were talking about the first day of the Mountain Dew Halo Reach earnings !

Speaking of that, I still haven't seen a Coca Cola Playstation Move bottle... -__-

Halo Dew fails though. I thought that shit was called "Game Fuel".

here we go

Microsoft has declared that Halo 3 enjoyed the "largest entertainment launch in history", doing USD 170 million in sales in USA alone in its first 24 hours.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/halo-3-does-usd-170-million-sales-in-24-hours

not much to argue about, $200million worldwide in 24hours is going to be smaller than what halo3 done worldwide in 24hours.

the less said about modern warfare 2 sales compared to halo reach's sales the better, MW2 Xbox360 in the UK 1,000,000 in 2 weeks, halo 3 > 100weeks. shall we see how long halo reach takes.

what do people think, [obviously it wont do it in 2 weeks, but how about 10x slower]

will it reach platimum in more or less than 20 weeks?, I think more
