360's halo boost is temporary

halo3 is a fantastic game and I do own it but as a nintenknight and a very logical person on both the wii and 360's side I am obligated to regulate... listen the 360 hopped in sells because of halo 3 but this months boost is the last one until christmas of which it will still be in number two because of guitarhero3(wii) and super mario galaxy I have to say this alst game was micorsofts last bang a good one that will last years but it is the last. Only because casual gamers... you know the people who totally over power us hardcore ones in numbers aren't interested in bioshock, masseffect, and all of those other shooters... what they are interested in is hype.

anythingthat has big hype such as the wii and halo3, their also interseted in what they trust... ****c games like mario kart ad mario galaxy. this was the most expected thing in nintendo fanboi's histroy we all knew that microsoft was going to get a boost in sales from halo3 and if you though different you are retarded.

You still have to remeber though that nintendo still has heavy hitters left that appeal to both casual, hardcore, curious gamers, and new gamers aka noobs because it can make a newcomer look like and feel like a pro. Nintendo's online component although nothing compared to the much more expierieced xboxlive is becoming more sophisticated and simple :-) which is an excellent idea.

Nintendo was not planing to be on the top of the charts they haven't ever been trying to be attention getters they are just trying to keep gaming alive and if your wii si collecting dust. it's jsut because you haven't bought any games DUH how would your xbox be if you had no games for it, just a stupid subscription demo from xbox live... "awsome huh" :- l

Ps3 is dead as i said a while ago, after halo3's hype xbox will still be number two until lthe next generation rolls in 7 years from now, wii will be number one because of ****c hits that appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers

wii60 harcore gamers will rejoice while standing in line this sunday for guitar hero3 :-).

360 sales are poor and only sell well during hallidaysdeadmeat59

I thought they were selling pretty good, just think if the ps3 doesnt sell 4 1/2 million ps3s between now and the end of the year It would mean the 360 outold the ps3 in its respective first year. Also, the 360 is still considered expensive.

Yea, just like any system with a major game release.Heil68

There can be long term sales boost....like Brain Traning and nintendogs for DS.

I personally believe that the 360 will be the top selling console for the rest of the year and then the Wii will go back to selling more for most of 08.

October- Halo 3 was only out for 5 days in September. I'm sure there are plenty of people that want Halo 3 but haven't gotten it yet because they don't have a 360 and 5 days is a short time to come up with the money for one. There is still a fairly good chance that the Wii will outsell the 360 but I would give the advantage to the 360.

November/December (holiday season)- the 360 sold the most last holiday season with just Gears of War. This year there's both Halo 3 and Mass Effect as exclusives aswell as most likely the best multiplats of a number of high profile games. Combine that with the fact that the Wii's supply will be limited to 800k for November and December MAX, and it's very likely that the 360 will be outselling the Wii.

The Halo 3 sales will be temporary to this year but as this will be a very successful couple of months for the 360, I would be willing to bed that 2008 sales will be up an average of 100kish a month from the same month in 07 because of the sucess of this holiday season which is partly because of Halo 3. So yeah, I think it will kind of be permanent but after the new year, a much more subtle boost.

Janurary-October 2008- Wii first, 360 in a closer second, Ps3 in another area code.

The 360 had Halo 3 in September....but the Wii will have SMG...

The numbers will be something like:

Wii >> 360 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PS3

I can agree but I think becaus eof the fact that gh3 for wii and 360 will be neck to neck it will be more like

wii>360>>>>>>>>>>>>>PS3

only to be fair but after that you theory will be reality.

Mass Effect will boost 360 sales..it will be THE next gen hardware to buy this fall well ahead of PS3. Since 360 is not competing with wii's "non gaming " market it's not going to outsell that but really MS don't care. Software sale wise all the AAA calibur multiplats liek Cod4, Assassins Creed, GHIII will sell best on 360. Kratos_OMEGA

LMAO, Be serious man, MOST casual gamers dont EVEN KNOW what Mass Effect is
