For starters I'm not downplaying but I agree next time I should check for proof to back me up. BTW no one taught Halo 3 would fail. Bioshock didn't do that great and same with orange box. I have to admit Gears was huge but it only got 1.94 million after 2007! That's really sad. Maybe becuase of Gears 2. I still think back then there weren't really that many big seller for any console.

Sorry for making assumptions. Anyway all I'm saying is compared to halo and halo 2 on the xbox, halo 3 had far more quality games to deal with near its release date on the 360. Also while no one thought it would fail, its unheard of for a game to sell to 1/3 of its console userbase in 1 week except for launch titles. No one expected those kinds of sales until its preorders numbers started being publicized.

Yeah that's true. But I still think it only sold more than Halo 2 on week 1 because of it's massive hype which I'm pretty sure Reach didn't have. And of course it was a great game.

Mass Effect 3 is coming 1 year after Mass Effect 2 (while Bioware is also making 2 games during Mass Effect 3's development).

not sure if serious...

 

Also, keep in mind that RE4 Wii edition, was a last gen port are therefore understates the power  of the Wii.
