It probably will, its the game people think of when they buy an Xbox 360 so with some bundles and Halo ODST/holiday boosts im pretty sure it'll close that gap a lot sooner than people think.

I would have posted more, but your profile insults me.

LOL care to make another bet?

 

Ok, I bet you Sig control for a month that you'll make 10 posts between now and Halo 3 reaching 10M posts.

 



Tease.

No. It'll break 10 million worldwide perhaps by the end of this year, but its sales won't stay relevant for long enough to hit 10 million in America.

In simple maths, it's a 3,096,327 gap. At 32,599 sales per week, that would take 95 weeks. Of course, in reality, it's not going to sell at 33k per week for that long. It, like every other game, will drop off eventually. Other, better first person shooters will come (one is already on 360, and PS3 for that matter, and another releases this holiday for both), and people will lose interest.

 

 I expect Halo 3 to break 10 millions mid July. It is at 9.61 million today and is selling 32k a week. Plus there will be bundles kicking in in a week or two. (Games of the year bundle - Halo 3 + Fable2) With Halo ODST people won't lose interest in 2009 at all.

10 millions in america is a stretch, though. It might have a shot, but that would be just incredible.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

This guy? He's on 32 posts and 0.41 posts a day! That will take forever! Except that there will be a holiday boost and a boost from VGC 2.0!

The highest possible attach rate is something like 1 game to every 3 consoles, so yeah thats asking a lot. The attach rate for the game is high enough as it is and as people forget about the game, i dont see it getting any stronger

I said 8m plus

I meant 8,999,999

Technically, it could still sell 10 million, because it's 8 million + 2 million.

So, you make a thread asking if people think it will happen and when they don't you think they're all silly?
Why make the thread if no one can disagree with you?

 

oh no I'm open to ideas about how it can't break 10 million, I just don't agree with what I have heard so far.

 

EDIT - and I never said anyone was silly

How about something more short term?

Halo 3 will not outsell Wii Fit next week.

5 minute sig control

LOL, Um well I can always ask MM476 to permaban him, that way he defaults on his bet.
