The Xbox360 released November 2005. We are heading towards May 2009 and there are 2 Halo Games on the Xbox360, both from a totally different genre. Your point?

With two more announced.

But hey, four games isn't bad, looking at some series (like Tales, or Guitar Hero)

When you take an RTS and put Halo in the title it sells like hotcakes so I'm going to guess that no PS3 title will touch the sales of Halo ODST

Halo ODST is an FPS...

He was referring to Halo Wars and how its brandname made it sell very well despite the game being in a fairly niche genre.

Oh No it the end! How will Sony carry on now halo has an expansion pack! Right phill breath calm down if i remember rightly ill have a few games to play while i worry about sony having nothing .... while they have an awesome expansion pack

God of war 3
Heavy Rain
Uncharted 2
INfamous
FF 13 (Japan)

I wouldn't say Halo Wars sold like hotcakes. It sold very well, particularly for an RTS, but I think "selling like hotcakes" is reserved for the shooters in the series.

I can't see Halo Wars doing more than 2.5 million LT, while I would be shocked if ODST did less than 5 million, and I would think it'd sell around 6 million when all is said and done.

You're moving to Japan, just to play FF13 a year early? Now, that's dedication

I don't think there's much disagreement about the quality of holiday lineups, as they stand, we are discussing sales here, and I think Xbot had a point in that thread about how to identify a PS3 fanboy when he said that they always start talking about quality in sales discussions.

Not to go off topic, but does anyone actually know how much hotcakes sell? Because I think that's important when it's used as a simile regarding sales.

I suppose it was used back in the 60s, and the name stuck
