Expansions aside (ODST= add on, mini campaign, Wars= RTS) the BOTTOM LINE____________________ is that every major Halo game has sold MILLIONS and all 3 main games have all scored well over 90%.

Anyone that doubts that Halo: reach will not catch Halo 3's sales is simply not been realistic.

Halo: reach will top Halo 3's sales by a country mile........... it's a given.

Microsoft have been quiet this year (ODST was barely advertised here in the UK, and neither was Forza 3 despite it showing great legs).................. expect a STORM next year.

What...but I thought M$ had thrown in the towel...remember that the original xbox lifespan was only...ooooh...wait...

10+ million hardcore gamers did not buy Halo 3, what's your point?  People will know about it from advertising and word of mouth.  Strong WoM can keep a good game selling for years after release.

You obviously don't want Reach to sell well, and would have everyone believe it is being set up to fail, but if you honestly believe that it is impossible for Reach to sell 10M then I'm done trying to converse with you about this.


lmao. I already said my expectations for the game. If selling 8 million is wanting something to fail then damn, I really wish some of my favorite games would fail already! lmao. What a child. I don't even know why I try sometimes. I swear, unless I'm jerking off everyone's favorite video game i'm wanting it to "fail". But I'm sure every sequal sells better then the previous iterations so I'm just blatantly wrong in my opinion I guess. Things only grow in this industry. :/

Thanks for the ad hominem attack.  Even though I disagree with your opinion at least I reponded to the points you made and didn't make it personal.  Until this post I had respected you as a poster.  Not anymore.

I don't see this doing 10 million. Period. EVERYONE bought Halo 3. Everyone has to try it. But not everyone who bought halo 3 liked it. The fans are always going to buy a halo game. But Halo fans don't number in the 10 millions. A halo fan would also have bought ODST and it will at least do those sales, even more because it was only an expansion. But I don't see it doing substantionally better then ODST's final numbers.

That being said. I expect it to be much better then Halo 3. But I expect less people to care.

Really? I would think it could pull off at least 8-9mill sales WW.


Everyone didnt buy Halo 3.   but yeah, maybe everyone that bought it didnt like it... but then a hell of a lot more then 10 million have bought it or played it.  Used, rentals... 

 

reach will be hugerererer  10m plus will happen.

To err is human, to ererererer is kowenicki

By the way, exactly what is Halo Reach bringing to the table that will make it be hugererererererererer?  Halo Wars couldn't even outsell Killzone 2.

PS3s best exclusive FPS in Killzone 2 was only just selling more than a Halo spin off RTS. It says Killzone series is nothing compared to the Halo series.

Halo 3:ODST sold over 3 million in its first week which will end up being higher than Killzone 2's ltd sales.

Halo:Reach will be huge and it will sell 10 million ltd sales easily.

Halo:CE sold around 6 million. Halo 2 sold around 8 million. Halo 3 sold over 10 million. Halo 3:ODST has sold around 4 million
