Forums - Sales Discussion - Halo 3 UK launch fails to fire (Allegedly)

Morgyn on 26 September 2007

Highly subjective article, with a one store sample and that store opened later than most (8am rather than midnight) 

 

I don't doubt the UK will sell out of Halo 3, but perhaps its selling slower than the other side of the pond?

The ban on the midnight launch in London is the reason. Midnight, you can get the game. 8AM, you're at school or work.

To busy playing Super Paper Mario maybe.

(Just kidding)

Halo? Never heard of it. Is it a new crisps flavor?

No midnight launch killed the ability to just go in and buy one.

No one was buying/playing Halo3 that early even in the US on Sept. 25th execpt a scant few - why any different in the UK?

Give it a day or two to actually tally the numbers.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Well I see that instead of it having America numbers. It will have numbers that are good in the coming days. Europeans can't resist Halo 3.

I think it's  a drink.

This is the only article I could find suggesting UK sales numbers:

Retail reports 'record breaking' Halo 3 sales

... from gamesindustry.biz

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing actual numbers for every territory. I hope MS decides to release them at some point.

I was just about to link to the same story scotland yard did until I got to the end of the thread and noticed it already posted. The game appears to be doing very well in the UK dispite the ban on several major stores opening at midnight.
