that may be, but next year ODST is being released and the increased advertisements could very well lead to an increase in halo 3 sales aswell. Not to mention that halo 3 is still expensive in many stores. It'll be interesting to see how ODST effects halo 3 (if at all).

 

Yeah, I figured some things should buff its sales more than I expected, so I went slightly on the optimistic side. I might not have went optimistic enough though (considering the facts you just presented).

I mean its obviously going to drop off a bit, its just a question of how much.

11 million, Halo is no longer considered the end all when it comes to FPS games.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

 I have never enjoyed them, but to most people there was nothing on the same lvl as halo until CoD4 changed that.

Some of these predictions are a bit ridiculous (I hate having to say this in every predictions thread). Seriously, 13 or 14 million? Did some people even think these predictions through? If Halo 3 manages to sell about 3 million with PAL and Japan combined, we're talking about 10-11 million in America. San Andreas didn't pull that off, and that was the biggest game of the last generation.

10.5 million lifetime worldwide.

The rest was 11-12M. I don't think this is mainly that people are bad at predicting, but rather that you solely look at the bad predictions.

And now I must quote myself.

"Some of these predictions are a bit ridiculous."

"Did some people even think these predictions through?"

That's all for now.
