Well, one is at 11.70 million sales and the other is at 5.5 million sales, but I get what you're saying. Call of Duty has become the most popular franchise now.

This.

either way COD is more popular now....thats happened, things change.

Butperhaps reach can outsell MW2 int he long run

haha i'll just tell you right now, it won't....

At least Black Ops then.

I'm not sure if Black Ops can be as big as MW2.

I don't know man....I just can't see Halo Reach outselling Black ops either unless it has some pretty large bundles.

Why though? Its showing better legs than Halo 3 so far.

Yeah but Black Ops looks like it will sell as much as MW2 which as we all know sold more then Halo 3.

Even more so that people are making a big deal about this. Who gives a flying crap in all honesty? I know which game isn't a glitched mess, and that's the one I play every day. Halo's huge, Call of Duty's slightly bigger. Ok, what difference does that make? Am I supposed to toast Bobby Kotick now or something?

Considering how fast MW2 outsold Halo 3, that was when I thought MW2 is the biggest FPS game on X360. Now back then this was when we had little information on Black Ops and many thought it's Treyarch so pretty it's gonna be an average CoD and nothing compared to MW2.

Now we fast forward to the present day and we see Black Ops outpacing both Halo Reach and MW2 in pre orders and now I think it has a chance of 10 Mil on X360 alone. I'm not gonna say that Black Ops will outsell MW2 yet because I still believe that COD Sales have peaked because of MW2 but we'll see.

And I'm quite suprised actually that there are still more MW2 players than Halo Reach Players online... Didn't quite expect that at all. I thought Reach would be king till at least until Black Ops released.

One of my best friends in America has changed as well. Even up until the release of Halo ODST last year, he was all like "Halo 4 Life!!!" and would talk about how much he loved the Firefights in ODST... That was all until MW2 came out. He changed completely from a Halo fan to a CoD fan. I asked him back in Feb 2010 why he was still playing MW2 when Mass Effect 2 was out and he was like wtf is Mass Effect 2? Not long ago I asked how is Halo Reach (I surely assumed he got it) but he said he didn't get it and saving that money for Black Ops... Yep for him, MW2 was enough to completely change from a Halo to a CoD Fan.

Few years ago when there were talks about X360 between some friends, it used to be all about Halo 3 but now it's all about "Do you have COD?" "Late night COD session tonight over at my place".

Times have changed...

Yeah as a strong Halo lover I have to say Black Ops looks pretty awesome (I know I hate on MW2 all the time but I really don't hate it that much)

I really don't think any Halo game will ever be the king of FPS's on the 360 ever again.

Haha yeah we all know you like to express your hate for MW :D lol! You gonna get Black Ops?

Dude just wait until the next Xbox, wait for it until CoD is milked so badly that it becomes the next Guitar Hero. That's when Halo will become FPS King of Xbox.

Though of course that all depends on 343. If they can't make the high standard Halo games like Bungie has, then who knows man... (By no means am I doubting them either. Just gotta see hwat they do with Halo first.)

And btw love your Pepper avatar.

Why does that bother you? Are they going to stop making Halo games because Call of Duty's slightly bigger? I don't see why you're so concerned with which games has more players tbh. It's not like games going to be hard to come by for either of them.

lol yeah I pretty much hate on MW2 to piss my cousin off (who loves that game)

I actually think 343 studios is going to do a very fine job with the Halo franchise (just have a feeling about it)  and I think by the time COD starts to become less popular something else will take its place....in fact if bungie plays their cards right their next multiplatform game could take the lead spot over COD.

And yes my new avy is quite prime

I am honestly not a bit bothered by it....I just find it interesting.  About a month ago this would have bothered me but i've become much less of a Halo fanboy since then.

ugh, COD. The armpit of the gaming world... At least those little nooblets are not poluting Halo reach as much anymore, I guess they found out their camper ways are actually quite easy to foil in Reach. Quality over quantity my friend.

Are you guys really making predictions that Halo Reach will never be the #1 played game on Xbox Live simply because someone got online on one occasion and saw that there happened to be more COD players on than Halo Reach players?  LOL great topic....

Its exactly the same scenario as Halo 3 and the first Call of Duty.
