There is nothing to suggest Halo has peaked ... you're just hoping it has.

The original trilogy has come to a close, and now we have an expansion, albeit a supposedly substantial one, in ODST, an RTS spin-off in Wars and a new direction in Reach.

None of those 3 titles are likely to hit 10mil; Reach has the best chance but I don't see its opening matching H3 with 3.8 first week nor do I see it having the same legs.

I'll happily eat humble pie if I'm proven wrong, but from where I'm standing (and Montana, judging by the page refresh) it doesn't seem unreasonable to make such an assessment. It's a shame then that you went on auto-pilot and accused me of fanboyism with the latter part of your post.

If Microsoft get into gear I see no reason why a new Halo game (whichever one it may be) can do 10 mill+

and I went into "auto pilot" because its true, your soul purpose to come on this site is to attack the 360 and praise the PS3, you're not capable of anything else.

I agree. I see now reason why a new Halo game can do 10 million plus either. Glad to see we're all on the same page.

And the last part made me laugh. Are you really in the position to criticize others for trolling? Aren't you the cute one?

I would say that Halo 3, Call of Duty MW2 and GTA IV. Halo 3 is definately going to make it, and Call of Duty/GTA IV have a good chance of making it from name recognition and legs alone.

MW2 has a decent chance, but im actually rating COD MW chances higher due to people getting sick of the series and/or staying with older COD games.

GTA IV/V will have a pretty good chance, that name is still massive and the console sales are shooting past 40M so it won't need such a killer attach rate to do it.

100-1 has a pretty good chance since its free!



Tease.

My post was demonstrably reasonable and moreover within moments an experienced member of the site had already shown a level of support for my view. The logical conclusion can only be that my post was fair and intelligent, rather than slanted and influenced. If you genuinely smell fanboyism in one of my posts then call it out for sure, but right now you're sounding like the boy who cried wolf...

Yeah I don't think Modern Warfare 2 will sell as good as the first one. Then again it has that magic two number which worked for a lot of games, especially Diablo 2 and probably Starcraft 2 :P U never know.



It's just that simple.

All I ever hear from you is negativity towards Microsoft, why is it I can see most PS3 fanboys on this site can praise Microsoft when needed, talk about stuff OTHER than Microsoft/Sony related and actually engage in decent convo .... but you ..

 

All I ever hear when I read your posts is "blah blah blah blah blah I hate Microsoft"

I know this is going to sound completely off to many, but a game that I think is completely underestimated is the Beatles Rock Band. MS was even smart enough to get them on their stage at E3 giving the illusion that its only on the 360 when it ran on all the news stations including CNN and Fox News.

Okay, but it's not going to sell 10 million copies.

It can reach 10 million with all the consoles together, it's THE Beatles after all.
