What do people think of the European numbers? I found that most my friends are all COD peeps. Lots of people only have an Xbox 360 to play COD and that's it!

Shame Europe doesn't really love Halo.

European Halo fanbase is big, i know alot of people who plays... Just not as big as Cod.

lol forgot about this game!

will get it tomorrow!



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

I do remember one year that ethomaz was using this sites numbers instead of NPD for Killzone 3 because they were higher.

Halo 4 sold more in 1day than any Killzone will Sell LT ever.

one minute you use vgchartz estimates and other public relations so make up your mind

Hummmm no. I usually use external data to show VGC needs adjustments... from what I remember I never did the opposite.

Yeah... this time NPD made some errors in data and in the next month fixed that.

Anyway NPD before start to track Wallmart did that some times... show a number difference from what the PR said and the next month fix the number to match with PR.

Eg.

Apr: 100k consoles X with bundled release of new super game
May: 200k no release and no bundle

So NPD fixed their sales data in May for track wrong in Apr.



And here: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/82014/halo-reach-sells-over-3-million-units-in-the-first-24-hours/

VGC estimate 4.25 million first week for Reach... I pointed the Microsoft PR showed Reach not outsold Halo 3... check data now to see who was right.

So I'm waiting MS PR.

Europe has a different and BETTER taste in games than the USA.
Alone that CoD on the PS3 is selling better than on the 360 here shows how much we love more the PS3 and thats a good thing.
We hold gaming still high and give developers that aren't make generic shooter # 23424 a chance.

PS3 is king here and Halo isn't available on that platform and people won't buy a platform for one decent game that they can't get ten times better on their beloved platform like everything else.

Oh and shame the USA really doesn't love Gran Turismo(5) or even their own Racing Franchise Forza(4).Different taste in games and different interest in genres.
Just for example the Top10 PreOrder Chart from Germany
1. ( 6 ) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (PS3, Activision)
2. ( 2 ) Halo 4 (Xbox 360, Microsoft)
3. ( 7 ) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (Xbox 360, Activision)
4. ( 8 ) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Hardened Edition (Xbox 360, Activision)
5. (NEU) Grand Theft Auto V (PS3, Rockstar)
6. ( 4 ) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Hardened Edition (PS3, Activision)
7. (10 ) Halo 4 Limited Edition (Xbox 360, Microsoft)
8. (NEU) Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox 360, Rockstar)
9. (NEU) Hitman Absolution (PS3, Square Enix)
10.(NEU) LittleBigPlanet Karting (PS3, Sony)

PS3 nearly everywhere ahead and even LBP Karting is in there cause we don't care what IGN says(while everyone is giving it a 8/9 from 10 and so on)

>COD
>Better taste
pick one



Well if that is true then my prediction was a bit low.

Hopefully Master Chief has great legs compared to Reach's (and hopefully equivalent or better than Halo 3's).

Also Microsoft needs to bundle Halo 4 so it can sell more than 11 million
