Under. It's not going to be as big as Halo 3.

Halo 3 didn't much over 3 million in two weeks, and I don't expect this to match that.

Halo 3 sold 4.6 million in 2 weeks.

Worldwide. But the thread is only dealing with NPD

Oh, right. In that case, HELL no. Should manage around 2 million 2 weeks NPD, maybe 2.5 million if it's lucky. It should hit 3 million worldwide in that time.


i am going to bump this and own you when first day sales top 2 million


Gears 2 had much bigger hype and sold only 1.6M in two weeks.

Halo 3 sold almost 4 million worldwide in September, and it only had a week to do that. I don't think ODST will have the hype to push it that far, but we'll see.

Less hype - true.

But when Halo 3 launched, there were about 12 million 360's sold.  Now there are 31 million and counting.  There are a LOT more potential customers.

Since were talking about NPD, there were around 7 million 360's sold in the US when Halo 3 came out and around 17 million now.

Yes.  But the point to be made is the same.  They sold 3.1 million in two weeks on 7 million boxes - almost 50% attach the first week.  To do 3.1 million on what will be over 18 million is only about a 17% attach rate.   

Considering over 700,000 unique players logged in to H3 yesterday, I'd say the appetite for Halo is still there.  As of the middle of last winter, Bungie said they were still getting nearly 2 million unique users a week.  Those people are largely buying it Day 1.

It'll be interesting.  But I wouldn't underestimate the power of Halo.  



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

gears 2 was also a let down after the first one.... i enjoyed the story, but the vehicle sections sucked ..... and they still have not improved the online modes... horde mode is alright, but ive been playing shit like that since what 01? i cant remember the first game anymore that had that kinda feature

Exactly. Around 1 million unique players every weekend, this won't have as much hype as Halo 3 but Microsoft will get its ass' in gear come september (or even earlier) and start marketing the hell out of this.

It being a let down wouldn't reflect on its first week sales as word of mouth hasn't had enough time to travel.

 

And that game was awesome, and improved on the original in every way.
