And after that COD: MW2 will outsell Halo 3: ODST because of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of COD: MW2 will help it surpass Halo 3: ODST. Correct?

 

Yes and possibly no.  Halo will most certainly outperform COD on week 1 sales because first week is when the loyal fanbase will buy the game.  Much like Halo 2 and 3, there will be many adopters solely because of the name of the product.  I don't expect the halo 3 prologue to be as popular as the full game so it is entirely possible for Halo 3: ODST and COD: MW2(xbox 360 only) to perform nearly identical on charts.  It really could go either way but when you go by gameplay value I think COD: MW2 will have a better appeal to a larger group of players.  So my prediction:

 

Week 1 sales:

-Halo 3: ODST outperforms COD: MW2 (Including all platform sales)

Week 2 sales:

-Halo 3 ODST performs equally to COD: MW2 (all platform sales)

-Halo 3 ODST outperforms COD: MW2 (360 sales only

Week 3-5 sales:

-Halo 3: ODST performs identically to COD: MW2 (360 only sales)

- Across all platforms COD:MW2 outperforms Halo 3: ODST from here on out

Week 6 and beyond:

-COD MW2 (xbox 360 only sales) will outperform Halo 3: ODST from here on out.

 

*Assuming all things constant (i.e. bundled sales possibly, add-on content release, special edition release, selling price, anything that could abnormally skew sales)

there were more than one person arguing COD  is bigger than Halo.

Given that ODST will have a rather low initial price, the game could be huge - particularly given that you do not need Halo 3 to play the game. There's no reason why it wouldn't be as big as CoD - if not bigger.

The argument about CoD being bigger than Halo 3 is irrelevant to this topic, primarily because very few people can afford to have both a PS3 and a 360. The sales of a PS3 game are therefore almost entirely indepedent of the sales of a 360 game.

@psrock

It's bigger because of it being on multiplatform but its not bigger being a exclusive as Halo 3 is on the Xbox 360.

But I know it wasn't you that was arguing about the situation. It just needs to be clear that Halo 3: ODST will outperform the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2.
