It won't because to the mass market cod:waw was simply cod 5 so when they see yet another cod one year after they won't be as drawn to it seeing as they already have two relatively new cod games. Thats why I believe releasing so many games so quickly is detrimental to the sales of a series.
No doubt it's going to be big, but not Halo 3 big. Unless you count the sales from every platform.

Also I'm not sure your the best person to be making such predictions after your Resistance 2 will sell more than GoW 2 thread. Assuming this is the same
megaman 2.

MW2 will be at the top of the Live users charts for a while, but I seriously doubt it will outsell Halo 3 on the 360.

Why not? cod4 has sold 7m+ on a smaller userbase, everyone knows how good cod4 and will likely purchase modern warfare2 look at sales of cod5 it was a shitty game but it sold wonders the cod brand is stronger than halo if you ask me.

 

 

 

But halo3 sold 9m+ on even a smaller userbase than cod4

If it has excellent legs like CoD:MW it may come close to it.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I expect the combined sales of Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 and 360 to exceed Halo 3. On each separate platform, not likely. The PS3 doesn't have the attach rate, and Halo is still the king of the Xbox brand.

I agree with the first part, but I think MW2 can pass Halo 3.

You lie, that's incredible, but seriously, can anybody else confirm this, I thought the opening weekend was more like 2.8 million.

Use this website for crying out loud.

It did 3,815,444 to be specific.

Covering PS3 and 360, Call of Duty 4 has already sold more than Halo3.  Not to mention all of the PC sales. Being on a bigger userbase, MW2 will likley sell more, as long as the quality of the game is good, but I don't think it outsell the opening weekend of Halo3.
