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..
can i ask you a question? do you know what were the predictions of some people here about halo reaches week one? the answer to that is no./ ends thread.
The answer is I do know, and you evidentally think for some reason that 'If YOU beleive someone doesnt know then they don't... thats called delusion.. Obviosly Im a halo fan so Ive read alot more then just at VGChartz..
There were a couple post on the forums about Reach's expectations, One was first week sales expectations alone..and I beleive one was lifetime..
' Some' fans said it would sell better then Halo 3 ( and Reach did this & holds the record for an exclusive now ! ) ..So some said it would be more, but many ( Id say mostly PS3 spoil-sports ) were saying it would do much less - more like ODST sales - and they said this because they assumed ODST was a trend of Halo sales going down, instead of the truth - Which is ODST was an expansion not based on the Super Human Characters "Spartans" Which everyone plays in multiplayer..
Fact is any game based on the traditional Spartans is probably going to sell very strong for quite some time because FPS are in .. and Halo has a great storyline..
Back to the orginal answer I already gave - COD BO XB360 might sell alittle more then Halo Reach the first week, but not the PS3 version. Halo Reach is now the exclusive record holder ( sold 4.1 million in its first 5 days), overtaking Halo 3 ( sold 3.7 million in 1st week) .. It'll probably hold that record for awhile.. maybe even till next gen consoles are out..
lol again you fail. most of the predictions of people where in the mid 4 millions or high 4 millions, it did sell more then halo 3 but their were thousands of posts saying that its going to beat mw2 and their was a thread about the fw of reach outselling mgs4 which is at 4.9.
lol ps3 fans said it would do odst numbers, you hit it right on the spot!!! yes their are the fanboys from both sides, and their is a chance that some fanboys said it would do like odst, but in the past 6 months i barely saw people say that reach will trend like odst, bhr and others used odst to say that halo reach wont outsell halo 3 lifetime but they never compared it to odst, they also used odst in gt5 vs reach threads, but that is something else.
i dont care about halo reach's record, point it halo fans were disapointed, heck even i a SONY FAN was disapointed because i expected more. yo_jhon one of the biggest halo fans said that he expected more, and obviously reach halo_reach and ihugi were way off their 5 million fw sales. reach sold great, but many people were disapointed.
Who was disappointed? Bungie ? MS? Fans ? I dont think anyone was really.. I dont see any hardcore fans having pity parties... Maybe a few Sony fans are upset that another MS exclusive did well.. I think ALL the above ( minus Sony fanboys ) were happy Reach turned out to be a great game; happy it sold well; happier it sold more then Halo 3 and not less.
Even if many fans, of which many are children and teens with high expectations and imaginations mind you, predicted it would sell higher (then its record breaking number that it did ) - does it matter? I didnt fail at anything.. You said "Most said it would sell mid to high 4's or even 5's" ... I'd say maybe HALF, but NOT MOST actually said that , ... just as many who said it would see that higher number said it would sell 3 million its first week.. You say many were disappointed, but I'm not seeing much disappointment in the air.. of course someones always going to complain, since no game on any console can please everyone all the time, although much of it..
I'll attempt my PR for COD BO PS3 in hope for more sales
COD BO is not like other COD games prior just look at the environments in these vids notice the caves and lush jungle environments.. Uncharted anyone?
Im sure were all in agreement that weve had our fill of World War II first-person-shooters. And with the aforementioned Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare 2 and countless other cookie-cutter FPSes all set in modern times aping the current Middle-Eastern conflict, already it seems were ready for a change
Well Black Ops late 70s, early 80s cold war setting seems very appropriate and particularly time, especially given that the 80s have seen something of a revival lately What we’ve seen of Black Ops so far is reminiscent of classic films such as Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Rambo and Commando, really evocative moments in cinema that have largely been untouched by games and I think its about time they were explored
Treyarch head Mark Lamia has said that the game is 'epic in scope', being focused around a story that 'has meaning and character and will be multi-threaded'. Perhaps more of an indication that Treyarch will be giving the Cold War an ambiguous, mutli-sided treatment?
CoD: BO is using the same full-actor motion-capture technology as Avatar. That means that not just gestures, but whole performances are captured, right down to facial expressions and line delivery. Expect some serious emoting this time around.
It looks like Treyarch is following Modern Warfare's lead in terms of big action movie set-pieces. Cliff-diving and rappelling through windows are already in.
Character Customization This is the first time you can customize your character in this much detail in the Call of Duty series. It’s something that will make each individual unique obviously. But even better, you will be able to create your own logos that go on your guns and your gamer tag. That’s also something new for Call of Duty.
New Overall Game Play
In the past few releases, we have seen the same old game with a different look. This time around they are making many changes and even giving us some new techniques to use. For example, now you will be able to dive and roll. That’s something that is going to make this game different all around and how you battle online. Imagine being able to run from and enemy and dive through a window to make your escape.
Zombies Are Back They were an instant hit in World at War. They even had iphone apps and more just to play this. Well, it’s back with upgrades, new challenges, perks and lots more. So if you’re a Zombies Junkie, here’s your chance at round 2.
Dedicated Servers Available Tired of hackers and cheaters? Want to host your own Black Ops Server? Perhaps you want to host your own tournaments? Well, now you have the opportunity to have your own server with basically no lag and only the gamers you want to play with
Combat Theater
allows player to record and edit there games and upload them for the world to see. Whether you a hardcore gamer or just a gamer who wants to record some great time with friends, Combat theater will surely catch your attention. But that is not even the best part. With combat theatre Treyach can look and find any player that is boosting, hacking or modding. Thus making it hard for them to cheat and great for players who want to play the game right. Since this is in the game there won’t be any more modded lobbies or boosters that took over Mw2′s FFA lobbies.
Modes and Co-op
The only new game modes in MW2 were Spec Ops and Barebones. Nothing really new there, just co-op missions that you could play with 1 friend. Now unlike MW2 Black Ops will have six new game modes. Two will be well thought reiterations and the rest will be completely new and are certainly going to entertain you to death. The two reiterations will be Barebones playlists. One of the playlists named classic TDM will have no attachments and kill streaks will be set at 3-5-7. The other mode dubbed Pure Barebones will remove all the players attachment, perks, and killstreaks. We also have a unnamed co-op mode that has yet to be announced. The return of Nazi Zombies is there for player s who buy the Prestige and Hardened Editions of the game. Then there are the wager modes (Sticks and Stones, One in the Chamber, Gun Game). These are the best additions as they are really gonna make some great competitive gameplay.
Split Screen
Call of Duty: Black Ops will be the first in the franchise to feature a two player splitscreen multiplayer as well as a offline combat training mode.
Yes now even you Drath can enjoy the attack dog perk with one bite it can kill the enemy
Reasons to buy it on PS3 over 360
Just look at the box arts notice that the PS3s looks more natural b/c of the black banner this thing was made to be purchased on the PS3, also you can always enjoy all the online MP features on PS3 for free
Yes ur rite, lets all buy it for the ps3 because of the black banner!!!!!
I believe in Mom and apple pie and that the PS3 version of BO could top MW2 nos. on PS3. An impressive feat. I doubt it can beat Reach first week or LT though.
