[QUOTE="Instashot"][QUOTE="R3FURBISHED"] Halo 3 had over a 50% install base on the 360 after it came out, also something that very few games ever reach.Ravensmash
Halo died out after 3 dude. Trust me, Reach will flop sales wise. People want a new Sci epic and Crysis 2 is that. Halo's reign is over and the Crysis reign is upon us :)

Erm, so that's why Halo 3 ODST (a title that fans knew was simply a short campaign with Halo 3 MP) an expansion, sold 2.5m in 24 hours? Or why demand for the beta crashed the servers? I'll probably get Crysis 2, but Reach will sell more - quote me.

I hear that 2.5 million in 24 hours a lot but I never see any proof other than VGC, people should probably stop saying this.

Joke thread? Crysis 2 probably won't outsell BFBC 2 or the next CoD let alone Reach. At best it does a tad better than KZ2 across 3 platforms.

Its between 1.8 and 2.5 million. Either way you look at it, is not too bad at all.

I know it sold well but for something that is said so much you think there would have been proof of this.

HALO is a huge franchise with a very big community. i dont think crysis 2 will outsell halo. honestly i dont think any game coming out 2010/2011 will outsell halo.

As much as i hate to admit it... He is right...Halo has too hugeof a fanbase to be outsold by Crysis 2 even though its on 3 systems...

Doubt it because, although Crysis 2 is available on three platforms, its still not a household name like Halo. But it will solid enough to warrant a third Crysis.

its not only that. HALO is proven to have great online multiplayer and really fun co-op. crysis was fun single player, but i dont think the online portion is as good as halo. that could all change with crysis 2, but as of right now i dont know because i havent played crysis 2.

Really doubt it. If you weren't completely blinded by your fanboyism you'd see that Halo Reach looks to be the best Halo game yet.

Why is it doubtful?

I mean alot of people who didn't have a gaming PC couldn't play it and want to play it so they"ll get Crysis 2.

They will advertise this all over New York, in movie theatres, and around the world.

EA said they want this to be there Halo so you can expect them to go all out.

Halo is big. its launches actually get major media coverage. crysis 1 was only on pc and only those with top of the line rigs could play. the 2nd one being on ps3 and xbox wont help it enough since it isn't as recognized as halo. it will need tons of commericals, playable demos, and ads all over both stores and cities to sell big like halo since that (minus the demos) is what will happen when halo reach's launch nears. expect only cod black ops, gt5, starcraft II, gears 3, and the next gta to sell around the same as it.

Probably, super soldier saving the world from aliens sounds exactly like halo, but crysis 2 will have better graphics and is multiplatform, it will probably do better.

lol. No it wont especially if it releases anywhere near Halo Reach. 360 owners would most likely pick Halo Reach over Crysis 2 and Call of Duty seems to be the only shooter that sells crazy on PS3.

Lol wut? He's talking about sales, not quality. Better graphics does not make the game any better, when I'm in the middle of a bunch of grenades and bullets flying and people trying to kill me, last thing I'd notice is how great the textures and lighting are. And Reach isn't about MC, so there's a facepalm if I've seen one.

I was talking about sales to... also it doesn't matter, reach is about 4 spartans instead of 1.. whoop tee doo, crysis also has more than one super soldier to.

How much did the first Crysis sold on PC? Crysis 2 will need almost MW2-type of sales to outsell Reach, which seems unlikely at this point.

Yeah no. Halo, despite being on only one console, has much more selling potential than Crysis.

Pretty much everyone that owns 360 is gonna buy halo reach.Halo is the only midnight release game where I saw hundreds of people waiting for it thats how popular it is.

Halo in its first hours of release will prob sell more than crysis.

Crysis 2 on PC will have better graphics....but not on console. I belive Halo reach (and later Gears of war 3 for sure) will have better and more eye candy graphics.

Don't forget...Crysis 1 was known for it's superb graphics and not MP or Sp story. Halo series is known for it's amazig story and huge multyplayer community. No doubt that Halo reach will outsell crysis 2 by miles.

I will buy Halo Reach day one. For crysis 2 i will wait i little bit to see on which console it will performe better. Yes i am PC turned console gamer.

What? Dude, that's like saying BC2 will outsell Halo 3, due to the fact that it's on several platforms.

Yes, Crysis 2 will be released on the PC, PS3 & 360, but the series as a whole is not big & prosperous enough to come close to a Halo game.

So by TC's logic, because Crysis 2 will have a huge marketing campaign, it will outsell Halo Reach. The huge marketing push is why Knight and Day is killing it at the box office. Oh wait...

It's a sequel that is branching out to an audience that didn't really play the first. It will sell a couple million, but the idea of it outselling Halo: Reach sounds a bit extreme. Halo 3 sold 8 million units when there were 20 million 360s in circulation. Though the Halo series may have diminished somewhat in popularity, two million people did participate in the Reach beta, and bought ODST just to do so. Sometimes we forget if big series will retain their popularity, but I think when that midnight release comes and the following couple days report the statistics, Reach will probably sell more in less than a week than Crysis 2 will in it's span of being on the store shelves.

It won't even be close. Sorry but when one thinks of FPS these days, it's either those who stick to their guns with Half Life 2, Goldeneye, CoD or Halo. Crysis is an after thought for the most part and even with being on 3 platforms won't even help it outsell Goldeneye on the Wii.

I'd like for Crysis 2 to sell well considering Crysis 1 and Warhead didn't really blow up the sales chart. Anything to secure future new IPs and more Crysis sequels.

You would think it would but I would not bet on it, the casual market appeal of Halo is huge. Everyone that owns a 360 knows the name Master Chief and buys Halo even if they only play it for a hour it seems like. I am not saying millions dont play it alot but at least 30% of sales just sit on the shelf.
