Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo: Reach - First 15 milion seller ?

damndl0ser on 19 October 2009

It just depends on how much advertising Natal takes away from Reach. If Natal takes a lot of the advertising that Reach would have had then it will be much harder for it to cross the 15 million mark. More than likely they will try and cross promote Natal and Reach at the same time though, so it probably has a good chance. I will be picking it up (hopefully the graphics are better and there is some sort of class structure).


Besides, I can totally see Halo 3 reaching 11-12 million in sells before Reach is released anyways. People who never picked it up and tried ODST will probably go back and give it a go as well.

I expect it to sell fewer copies than Halo 3 has so far.

I think Modern Warfare 2 will be a bigger seller, maybe if Halo Reach were called Halo 4... I think the layman gamer is hetting a bit confused with the Halo brand now and doesn't know what to buy.

Are people really doubting Halo: Reach's legs to hit 13-15 million? Really? It's possible that Halo 3 could reach 11 or 12 lifetime.

I believe ODST gives an indication of what to expect for sales from future Halo games. Halo fans still think Halo is big, but a lot of gamers have moved on to other shooters.

Was this a joke?  Go check out Xbox live activity for Halo 3 this week.

It's not a joke for Halo Reach to sell to so many people it would have to attract new customers to Halo, and games like MAG and Resistance 3 will be out at roughly the same time and Killzone 3 will be on its way at the same time to show other gamers that there is more out there in the console shooter market than than just Halo.

 

Sales of 7.5 million over its first two years would be outstanding for Halo:  Reach imho.

Not a chance like every other HD game it will sell bucket loads for maybe a month then tail of into obscurity. I've said a hundred times before the only games that have legs are ones with Nintendo all over them

Halo 3 will beat all of those games combined (in sales) probably doubling them.  They are not direct competitors to Halo Reach.  Halo ODST (basically an expansion) had great sales for what it was.  It just shows that Halo is still a strong performer.  Time will tell.

Nah I don't think so man. I'd say the game with the best chance is the next Grand Theft Auto assuming it gets the reviews GTA4 got but is more like GTA3/Vice City
