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.

 the cod brand is stronger than halo if you ask me.

 

lol

I can see a reason for lol here.  It is hard to argue that Call of Duty is a stronger brand then Halo, when Call of Duty hasn't gotten its own Slushie or Mountain Dew or other beverage.  On here, I guess these things represent "overhyping", not a measure of brand strength.

No just because the name Halo is so big.

I really doubt it. If COD WAW is any indication it wont really even come close to Halo 3s sales. Unless you count all console/PC releases combined



Long Live SHIO!

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.

 

CoD4 and CoD5 already achieved that, didn't they?

CoD$ combined sales for Ps3 and 360 are like 14 mil....MW2 should do about the same....

It's a shame Sony and Microsoft will never link XBL and PSN for cross-platform play...

If we're talking just on the 360 then no I don't think mf2 will outsell halo 3.

Obviously overall mf2 will outsell it but thats because its not exclusive to one platform.

it will demolish halo 3



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.
