So you guys expect the remake of Halo: CE to outsell Halo: CE?

That just seems wrong.

That's an interesting observation, but basically yea. Halo CE was a launch title to a system which sold 24 million lifetime. 5 million sales mean 1 in 5 console owners ended up with a copy of Halo CE. if 6 million people buy Halo CEA, that's less then 1 in 10 console owners. Also I find it hard to see this game sell under 3 million. Halo is the flagship MS brand. Also this Halo has multiplayer, unlike the XB version of Halo CE.

After all, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is almost a remake of a 25 year old game, and without bundles it sold around 15 million. Anything is possible, but funny observation.

It's a direct copy of the pc version (for the mp aspect). ODST still had 3 new maps with a new story and it was made by bungie. People can't trust 343 industires yet

A couple thing I have to point out quick.

1. Halo CE was made by Bungie and everything about the single player of Halo CEA will be like Halo CE so Halo CEA is technically made by Bungie.

2. 343 studios has all the greatest minds behind the Halo franchise including Frank O'conner the mastermind behind it all and they also have some of the best talent from tons of other developers.. I would bet every cent I have (which isn't much) that if Bungie and 343 Studios went head 2 head in a Halo game making competition that 343 Studios would win easily.

Well I did some more reseach and your right. But most people don't know this. Not the 10 year old kids who scream in my mike every day. Although it is basicly the same people 343 industires is going to have to bulid some trust in people.

Saber Interactive is also co-developing the game, and if you ever played TimeShift, it's a fun game.

Also, apparently you can toggle between original and 360 graphics for this game on the fly. I did not know that, and that is really cool.

No lol you got it wrong...the average person like what you mention who plays Halo doesn't give a damn who made it...they just see the Halo name and give it a try. 

Most of the people that play Halo games are ages 14-26 (I'm almost positive that's the average age group of Halo) 

I don't think the average gamer gives a crap who made the Halo...just as long as its of good quality (look at how well Black Ops sold even though it wasn't made by Infinity Ward)

I'm not sure if this is a majority. It is definatly true, when playing Halo Wars I heard a lot of 15 year olds wonder that the f*ck this game was, but I think most people look a bit deeper then is is just Halo. They need to see Halo + FPS + Main story arc = 10 million sales plus.

It will be really close. But am I the only person that thinks Uncharted 3 will outsell Halo CE remake?!

I would be very suprised if Halo CE outsold Uncharted 3. Especially with it coming out between MW3 and Assassins Creed. Why would anyone spend 60 on a remake?

PS. I am aware of the "confirmed" price... we've been there before.

everyone in US buying it for 40

Microsoft said the same thing about halo reach. Would anyone be suprised if they bumped the price up to 60?
