Well REACH should outsell Halo:3 by at least a couple of million, and depending on how well Natal is received during the holidays Halo:reach could be riding a wave of momentum that could really push sales.


I agree ^^^

For those people expecting GT5 to do huge numbers look at how much GTA sold last gen and compare it to this gen. Just because a franchise did massive numbers last gen doesn't mean its going to sell through the roof this gen, especially considering install base. Not saying GT5 isn't going to sell well but I doubt its going to go far past 10 million if it even gets there at all.

Never has a Halo game been delayed. And never has a true Halo sequel (1, 2, 3, Reach) not set a new worldwide record.

THIS... IS... SPARTANS !!!

Hmm, Possible? Probable? Im not sure, I think people have started to wise up that COD WAW =/= Call of Duty Modern Warfare. So for Halo to be #1 shooter combining platforms two things must happen.

1. Something has to fracture the Call of Duty userbase, Battlefield, Medal of Honour etc and even Halo itself to break the overwhelming wad of multiplayer gamers who play that game and buy it all at the same time. The fact that its Treyarch certainly helps.

2. Halo: Reach has to be that good. (I trust it will be haha).



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

i think NSMB wii is gonna outsell it easily in 2010.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Halo: Reach sales > all other sony exclusives no matter their launch date... in fact I'm going to go on the line and say it'll sell more in one day than any PS3 only game has sold LTD

 

edit: btw KrissX is fucking awesome... just thought I'd throw that in

The biggest game of 2010 in America, for sure.

However, worldwide it will not be the top seller worldwide. It'll have a hell of a time competing with NSMB Wii, Wii Fit+, Wii Sports Resort, and Pokemon HG/SS. There's also a chance Nintendo pulls another 10miller out of its ass. WF+ and NSMB Wii anyone?

If we're only talking about home console games that release in the year 2010, currently its only competition is GT5 and CoD7, which Halo has a good shot at.

I think it makes little sense how people use ODST sales as a barometer for Reach's success. We may as well assume GT5 will sell poorly due to GT5:Prologue.

possibly the worst analogy ive read in a while. It has the word prologue in the name and its lacking features...last i saw ODST didnt only let you shoot 3 different guns at 3 different enemy types.

Seriously, if it was never leaked that they wanted to do ODST as an expansion but MSFT said no all this bullshit excuse for lack of sales wouldnt exist.

Everyone who knows jack shit right now about Reach being the "main" title in the halo universe isnt part of that 6 million difference in sales between halo 3 and ODST. The fact the devs are preaching to the choir about it being a main game isnt going to resonate with the demo that will make Reach come close to Halo 3!

I don't have ODST, but I have Halo 3. I'm going to get Reach, because it's the next (and possibly the last good) Halo installment.

I'm assuming you don't know anything about Halo 3 ODST? It is essentially Halo 3 with a new campaign.

The multiplayer is exactly the same. The game comes with a second disc for the online, which is Halo 3's multiplayer, and it's even linked to the exact same achievements. Yes, linked to Halo 3's achievements. There's like, one new multiplayer mode similar to Horde mode from Gears 2, I think. That's pretty much it.

You're telling me a game that's called "Halo 3: ODST," which doesn't even have its own multiplayer, should sell like a new Halo game? We wouldn't be able to tell it was originally an expansion? Is that why people were complaining about its full price tag?

Is my analogy still the worst you've read in a while? Or did you simply not know much about the game you're arguing about?

 Im the Same Way, I passed on Halo:ODST because face it it....It was basicly just an expansion

But I will be getting HALO:REACH on day 1, and I gaurantee there are alot of other gamers thatare gonna do the same thing

So I expect Halo:Reach to atleast sell as Much as HALO3
