Forums - Sales - When will Halo 3 overtake PS3?

Around the same time Wii Sports overtakes X360.



I totally shouldn't have posted that. Bad Ringo.

Hmm ... well, might as well throw in my two cents.

On a worldwide scale, I don't think it can, unless the attach rate of Halo is significantly greater than its predecessors. If you're talking about US sales only ... well ...



There's a much lower upper limit for Halo 3 than there is for PS 3. However, I'm sure everything released past, present, and most things future, will wish they could sell as fast. I'll go with Never, but it'll be close.



See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

Funny topic! Kudos.

It would be completely impossible unless it was done by December 26th of this year. Small window, Bungie...



The real question here is when will Halo 3 take over the world. Bungie will not fail in their self proclaimed mission!

Well gears is already ahead of PS3 world wide right now. As far as Halo 3 it will pass it in the US on September 25th. As far as world wide probably before Christmas if it hasn't already done it before the end of October.

Your right, it would almost have to be 50% attachment rate, which would be very very high for a game beating halo 2 and halo 1

so pretty much if half the 360 owners went out and got it, then yes



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

It will overtake it by end of September, however, by end of year PS3 will regain lead to Halo3.

Your right!, after halo 3 all they will need to do is open the door to take over the world! but is it that easy?

Holy sh*t, greatest topic name in like the last month. The day is yours, sir.

Worldwide: probably never, the PS3 will sell this holiday season.

Americas / US: wow, that is scary.

The PS3 is at 1.91 million and selling 40k a week in America. So that's around 300k more by Halo 3 week, putting the PS3 at 1.94 million.
Halo 3 comes out September 25th. I'll say September 26th (morning).



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
