Pretty good. Im guessing 60K for first week.

I refuse to discuss anything Japan 360 related. It's a non-issue. No one in Japan cares about XBOX.

 And yet, you're in this thread discussing it...

We will be sure to never discuss these issues in your presence ever again oh divine one! /sarcasm

Go to another thread if it bothers you so much.

Wow, nice numbers for Halo 3 in Japan. I honestly didn't thing it would do better than Halo 2.

Impressive for an Xbox 360 game in Japan.

nice...

I still say 300k lifetime. X360 will sell better and be around longer than Xbox and Halo3 will benefit from this.

A few notes from me, your X360 Japan overanalyzer...

Overall, very very good numbers for opening day if true.

This would point to a 60k opening week, which would put Halo3 as the highest Western-debuting game on an MS platform.

However, it's anyone's guess how it'll do from there.

It should easily cross the 100k mark. However, could it have Oblivion-type legs? If it did, it could wind up with 150k, which is about the "max" I'd put it at.

The advantage Halo 3 has, is that it really "starts" the beginning of a long list of Xbox 360 software that should get a few new people to addopt 360s, adding to the chance that Halo 3 and Oblivion continue to sell well.

IMO, my guess at first day was 40k. So this is good news....From a X360 standpoint.

The odd thing is, when H2 debuted, the Xbox saw a 300% jump (to 4,500 units) the week BEFORE Halo 2 launched. Odd, eh?

At any rate, I'd say H3 week hardware sales should be around 5,000 units, with software titles such as Oblivion, Trusty Bell and Blue Dragon seeing either small increases, or holding steady.
