Spending a large portion on 2008 sitting in the gutter after its inital release, maybe Rockstar where right in sayingthey're confident GTA IV can reach 10 million units. Play.com is the Uks biggest online retailer for consumer electronics, and currently today the top two games sellers are Grand Thaft Auto IV for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in first and second respectabley. And the PS3 'halo killer' turned flop Haze sits at 25, putting it ahead of Brain Training, Soul Calibur IV, Tom Clancys EndWar, Call of Duty: WaW on PC, Left 4 Dead PC and Far Cry 2 for the Xbox 360.

It only outsold it on the PC, that's hardly earth-shattering stuff. It's probably sold so much, a) because PS3 owners were desperate for an exclusive shooter title. Or b) they picked it up really cheap which you can nowadays.

Or it goes to show that a bunch of gamers out there never do research before buying anything.

Because it's exclusive. Some fanboys just buy them, and don't even play them.

It could be fairly possible that people have tastes that are different from your own. I know it seems crazy but I'm sure that at least some people that purchase items do it because they like what they are buying. It's insane how people don't always follow the crowd huh?

It's funny how when a game get crowned ' King of Suck ' that many people will pick it up anyway just to see if it sucks that bad, I gotta admit Im almost intrigued myself to see if Haze is such a hunk of poo.

As Cactus_matt stated It probably is because people are finding it cheap. W@W might sell a few more copies once it hits the bargain bin. And it did come at a time when people wanted a new shooter. Considering most people where playing warhawk or COD4, Haze looked to be something different. I still think its better than W@W.

Yeh, only on PC. But overall, World at War is the UK's 3rd fastest video game ever, just behind GTA IV & San Andreas, so Haze couldn't have beaten it too much lol!

WAW is awful. Spam Grenade party anyone? COD4 was amazing.

Is Haze really THAT awful. Does it at least pass as a shooter with no story?

He's talking about haze outsold COD WAW, not COD4. Which I'm not surprised because it's just COD on PC version. PS. I got interested in this topic when I saw Haze outselling CoD: WaW, only to know that it's COD: WaW on PC. :(

I liked Haze, don't ask me why. It wasn't a top notch shooter by any means, but it was better than I thought it would be. It's definitely not the worst shooter I've played this gen, not even close.

I've seen it available for dirt cheap over the past couple months. Even I was almost tempted to buy it for some of the prices I saw.

Actually, we should bow down to Free Radical for making the game. In other words, you fail kthxbai.

Because I believe it to be amazing.

I don't care what reviewers say or what they think "bad AI" is.

It works for me.

Maybe you should stop following reviews like a mindless robot and form some opinions of your own.

WaW has way less grenade spamming compared to cod4. Doesn't make it better but it definitely has less nade spamming.
