This is a great marketing technique. Didnt Sony include the FFXIII demo to Japanese customers who purchased the (overpriced) FF Blu-Ray. Same thing......great idea.

He's taliing about Halo Wars. which, technically isn't a part of the Halo family since it is a branch off, and it wasn't made by the same game studion.

Actually i was refering to Halo 3,but i forgot Halo Wars existed lol

Didnt Halo 3 just break half a million sold,after being on the market for what 2 years now? wOw how can they recoop the lost from the cost of developement and marketing,100 million to make and only half a million sold.

Halo 3 = FLOP can you smell the lulz dripping from the lolwut?

Halo ODST = Soon to be FLOP?

OT-soon to be 6 million as CGI noted.

At least this one makes sense.

Unlike Crackdown and Brave Fencer Musashi.

This game was guaranteed 6mill without that beta. With it, ODST might see 10mill, keep watch...

You think so? It'll be interesting to see how it does, I'm waiting to see this ad campaign they've been talking about though. Anyone seen any commercials yet?

themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

He is saying that he is expecting to see a boost in sales again in 2010 when the beta starts.

This.

Game will open big, have good legs and then a big boost when this starts. Its pretty brilliant, to be honest. Even more so than the Crackdown one because that wasn't a Halo game. This keeps it in the family.

Incest is good? o_O
