Forums - Sales Discussion - I Believe COD:BO (PS3) Will Better Reach's 1st Week What Do U Believe In?

I doubt it.

PS3 Black Ops 4 Mil in Week 1? In Week 2 it'll reach over 4 Mil but not in Week 1.

It's possible because Black Ops will be bigger than MW2.

I think lawl, ps3 is not a shooter box

Its very much a shooter box, it generally just doesn't sell them as well Xbox 360. However, medicore shooters occasionally do better on the PS3.

OT: I think it'll fall short, but it seems possible.

Neither the 360 nor PS3 are "shooter boxes". The 360 just does better in the genre, and has a crowd that generally front load titles in higher numbers than the PS3. Therefore, it received that nickname.

OT: It's possible, but unlikely.

So you're not a MS fan? Really? I wouldn't have guessed it myself! I don't really understand -and probably never will- why is it so important to you that PS3 games sell more than X360 exclusives. I don't know if Sony pays you for each game they sell but I don't get why the hate on halo since it's overall a great franchise and a big part on why the shooters are what they are today.

OT: I think the X360 version has a good chance specially considering the release date, but the PS3 version? Extremely unlikely.

I doubt the next cod (PS3 sales alone, first week ) will outsell Reach's sales..

Why ?

COD MW2 sold only alittle over 8 milllion on PS3 ( their #1 seller ); In contrast: COD MW2 sold 11.5  Million on 360 ( their #1)  &  Halo 3 sold 11.1 Million on 360 ( their #2) ..

Where am I going with this ? Whether its PS3's smaller user base is to blame or not.., even the major titles sell million less on the PS3, including the 1st week..

I really don't think that it will sell that much in it's first week.

I'm thinking it'll hit somewhere between 2.2 - 2.7 million first week on the PS3.

1.8 million on PS3.  2.3 million on 360.

My day 1 prediction.

2.7 million on PS3. 3.1 million on 360.

My week 1 prediction

Will Call of Duty Black Ops PS3 Out Do Halo Reach's First Week?

 

TIPS

There are no TIPS this time do to dis respect calling me stealth troll, locking my threads, banning my vgc friends, and saying my math's is wrong do it yourselves now

 

 

 

     Ive been reading alot of comments recently here on VGChartz lot of people are really excited about what Reach was able to put up 1st week. I myself can't really comment since i dont own the game or am a MS fan but I'd say this, if i was a MS fan i would be a tad bit dissapointed with its sales much like i was with Uncharted 2, i made the thread that it would sell 2M end of 09 last year and it did, i was happy for it but then when i finally got the game around December i wasnt really feeling the campaign and made multiple threads on the matter that it wasnt deserving of 10/10 and best single player of the decade, i owned up to my disappointment.

Now idc about if your still excited about its first weeks sales or whatever, but way before Reach came out i had originally predicted that GT5 would out sell it by the end of this year thats b/c i thought GT5 would release around June but it hasnt so i had to revise my prophesy to GT5>Reach LT.  Now I cant just let Reach get away like that this year so i had to go back to the lab and come up with another prophesy that was bold about something vs Reach for this year and i came up with this,another thing that came up in the lab was CODBO 360 selling more than reach end of 2010 but i believe most would see this happening as well

Post what you believe will occur regarding this matter of PS3s COD vs Reach 1st week performance

I'll go first I believe COD BO PS3 WW Numbers for week one will be greater or equal to Reach's and if there not i only see it being about 100-200k off form what Reach did

Reachs current WW week one numbers are 4,049,971 

From above: "I myself can't really comment since i dont own the game or am a MS fan but I'd say this, if i was a MS fan i would be a tad bit dissapointed with its sales much like i was with Uncharted 2.."

Why would you be a tad disappointed?  With Reach you just broke your previously highest selling Halo 1 week record ( which used to be Halo 3 ) by nearly 250k units.. which proves they not only kept their core fans, but picked up a few new ones, which alot of games on their 4 or 5th release do not do.. If you look at even games like Final Fantasy.. mostly its the core fans who keep it selling.. but they dont typically outsell the others..'

Also, Reach's first week outsold Halo 3's.. so it'll probably beat Halo 3's lifetime sales ( released 2007 ) eventually.. which Halo 3 ( 360's second best seller ) did 11.1 Million units sold.. Compared to PS3's #1 best seller COD MW2 at 8.2 Million units ( PS3 #2 seller only did a bit over 6 million units sold ! )..

Id be more disappointed if I was solely in the PS3 camp, in the end if you're a gaming fan you love each console for what is good.. I'm not a fanboy, I loved the PS2, but I think Sony lost its vision a bit with the PS3 as far as keeping in touch with the avg gamer..
