Forums - Sales - When will Galaxy sales catch Halo 3?

At the current rates, it'll take 36 weeks. But... as has been pointed out, Halo 3 is falling faster than Galaxy. Therefore, 36 weeks is the absolute longest it'll take. It'll be faster, but we can't guesstimate how much faster. It will become clearer over the next few months. It will definitely happen by Black Friday 2008.

SMG also has top of the line play if you like platformers.

 


I completely disagree. Platformers are my favorite genre, and I think SMG's gameplay was not where it should have been. Smash Brothers is on a completely different level all together. SMG's gameplay left a lot to be desired.


As long as you rue that the opinion of everyone in the free world is different than yours, then I got no problem with your crazy meanderings.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

IMO these scores are bullshit for different reasons. Why not hand these games a 10 and call it a day? It is not like there is any better games on their respectives genres (now or in near future). You should not make your mind before playing the games or you will have to eat crow just like in SSBB case.


I don't have to play the game to know that 97% is bullshit. 97% is saying the game is almost flawless in every single way possible. There's not a single game ever made that deserves a score that high.

Until we get official numbers from Nintendo then halo will be in the lead. We already heard what Halo sold to retail by the end of december.  On January 3, 2008, Microsoft announced that Halo 3 has sold 8.1 million copies

Never?

You can't really possibly think that, can you?

 

I mean, it's a mario game. How many people who own a Wii are not gonna eventually buy it, that's my only question to you?

 

Assuming the Wii has another 40 million sales in it, you really think Halo 3 has a chance of staying ahead of it? By how much, I wonder, would be your prediction, with your smart mouth?

My opinion is the only one that matters, really. If I think the game is overrated, the game is overrated. When it comes to gaming, I take my opinions as facts because no one elses opinion or going to make me enjoy a game. SMG is, in my mind, overrated. Anyone who thinks other wise is just bullshitting themselves. 97% is bull for any game ever made for any system. I don't care if I like it or not.

  Not a single game?!?!?!? 

 Here are some games that I would definitely rate 97% AT THE MINIMUM:

 

Tetris

Portal

Katamari Damacy

SimCity

StarCraft

SMB3

Out of This World

Link's Awakening

Brawl

Galaxy 

 

That's 10 off the top of my head.  You have some sort of philosophical bias against gaming perfection's potential to even exist.  Maybe it doesn't for you.  Maybe you'll always be searching for that perfect game and never find it due to your crazy-high standards that will never let you be satisfied.

I recommend you come off your cloud and down to Earth where there are some totally sweet games, like the ones I listed (IMHO of course), but everybody has their own version of perfection.  You SHOULD have your own.

Hey Riot, didn`t you use to say that SSBB was an overrated game, that 9.0 and 9.5 were bullshit scores for Brawl?

Yeah, but I changed my mind. Smash Brothers has top of the line gameplay.

9.0 isn't a BS score, really. I'm talking about stuff like Bioshock getting 95% or Galaxy getting 97%. That shit's just crazy.

 


 Damn straight! Any Galaxy score under 98% is pure BS.

 

:) 



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Actually, your wrong.

 

You see, my opinion is the only one that matters, and in my opinion, critical concensus about the game was pretty dead on.

 

Your opinion is biased because your a PS3 fanboy who hates Nintendo, as admitted in that other post.

 

In fact, the only reason you admit to liking Brawl is because you love fighters and even you know saying Brawl is a bad game is just too hypocritical, even for yourself, and because it also serves to lend creedance to your Galaxy hate, which is just a pleasant side effect.

 

 

In the future, you should say "My opinion is the only one that matters to me," just for the kids in the back who aren't really listening and might not get it.

RubangB, there's no way I'm just going to start running around calling every game I enjoy perfect, because there is no perfect game. Now, I have played game that are great for my gaming taste that are great; however, I can not call them perfect for obvious reasons. Megaman Zero 3 is one of my favorite games of all-time. The gameplay and story was so enjoyable for me. That does that give me the right to say the game is better than Super Mario Bros. 3 just because I like it better? Hell no. Super Mario Bros. 3 is easily better.

Do I get to say Ninja Gaiden Sigma is better than Zelda 64? No, I don't, because it isn't. There is no 97% game out there. It doesn't matter how much I like it.
