Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo: Reach to be biggest game of 2010 “across all platforms"

This "4 million people bought the GT5 demo" is sooo stupid.

This like "4.5 million bought the Halo Reach Beta". Both, the GT5:p and Halo ODST do offer some individual gaming experiences. Both are huge franchises. I think Halo Reach will outsell GT5, just because racing games are not that huge anymore. Need for Speed isn't as big as it used to be, DiRT did well, but not great, Forza 3 is doing well, but not as good as it could have IMO.

The biggest games are those for casuals and for the hardcore the shooter. Look at the record set by MW2, the success of Halo 3 or Gear of War. Not even GTA could beat MW2, which is more or less a franchise frim this gen.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

@CrunKE4--Halo 3 hasn't sold 13 million, its only sold 10.7 million copies, and GT5 will sell at least 7-8 million copies.

its not hilarious. Gran Turismo sold 52 million games, Halo 27 million games.

yeah, whatever. With Galaxy 2 and a Zelda coming out in 2010, no one else stands a chance overall.

First week sales, probably, over course of whole year, not a chance.

Sure thing, mate.

Gamerace, do you honestly believe ZELDA will outsell a Halo game? GoW won't make past the 5 million mark.


Well Twilight Princess sold about 6m (between GC & Wii) which is still better than Halo ODST at about 4.5m but no where close to Halo 3 at 10m.   Reach is the 4th Halo game this gen and Halo is suffering from being over-milked.   Reach will likely fall somewhere between the sales of ODST and 3.

So if Nintendo makes a Zelda TP2 then it's reasonable sales might be close  (Wii's base is substancially larger now than at launch) but I'd give Reach the edge.

However if Nintendo makes Zelda's more accessible and taps into it's expanded market (girls in particular) it could easily shoot into double digit millions and go places yet another Halo FPS simply cannot.


ODST was an Expansion..

I'm pretty sure MW2 is going fuck Halo 3's sales in the ass, but I see Reach outselling the 360 version of MW2's first week, perhaps 5.30 million. The only thing I see giving Halo trouble is CoD, I'm 100% positive GT5 will not reach the other games' amount of sales.

GT5 will outsell Halo 3,COD MW,halo reach.not first week but will definetly over time.

 

and GTA Next is still to come in 2011


I'm sorry but nothing is definite until the game is released, it will be a struggle for GT5 to hit 10 million with such a lower userbase.  

MW2 will make it look silly in sales that much is a fact so not sure why you said it would outsell it.

GT5 will outsell MW2 on 360 and PS3 but not combined

Not sure if it will out sell MW2 on 360, that is the biggest shooter of 2009 released on the console with the most shooter fans.  Will be interesting to see where MW2 is by that point and how long it takes GT5 to pass it, if it can.

True, but if you've been paying attention as of late the racing fanbase all-around has been dwindling. The FPS fanbase has been increasing since 2001.

i know, so?



Lol, GT5 has the chance to give the biggest serving of crow ever. If it doesn't sell well, I'm going to take a break from the internet, since FFXIII's storm will take place again in a new form. Now if it exceeds expectations, I'm going to laugh my ass off at everybody here (and of course, take a break from internet again).
