Do you think halo anniversary will outsell flagship ps3 title uncharted 3

Well...It's Halo.

I have my copy preordered.

When you have such few Flagship titles for your platform, and even less being released this year, it would be dumb to think it WOULDN'T outsell Uncharted.jman1553

Anything Halo can outsell everything not COD.

I get the impression that you're a tad upset Xbox games sell so well.

If it sells anything like its predecessors, yes.

Duh.

Gears 3 caught up to Uncharted 2's sales in two months. That right there shows me that at least lems buy the exclusives they hype up.

MS could slap a Halo sticker on a disc of My Little Pony and it would outsell most games. Nonstop-Madness

Easily several times over.

It's not a question of "if", but of "by how much".

For all its praise, Uncharted doesn't sell as well as Halo. If only half of the sales of Halo 3 buy Anniversary, Uncharted will be left in the dust.

God, Lems are on full defense today. It's sad that people even use sales to mean anything other than the possibility of a game obtaining a sequel. But I suppose the sales game is the only thing Lems are good at playing. That, and 10 year old re-releases.jman1553

I don't think so. It's a remake.SaltyMeatballs

Well it depends.

We know Halo 3, and Halo Reach sold 10+ million, but didn't ODST do a bit worse than those games reaching only a few million sold?

It wouldn't surprise me if this game only sold a few million especially in today's market where CoD and Battlefield rule over the console shooter market. Halo isn't top dog anymore.

Why they like to play those games is advertising.

It's an absolutely huge driving force behind the console industry. Absolutely huge! The companies which are most successful at it tend to sell the most games, and it's really hard to beat the $150 million advertising campaigns behind games like CoD.

It's Halo, it's a FPS and it's on the 360. It will outsell Uncharted 3.

Well...It's Halo.

It's ironic you say that seeing as you have a God of War sig which has seen 2 recent re-releases. And it's a newer IP than Halo. Oh, and it's a re-MAKE.

I don't think it'll outsell it, but then again, who really and truly cares?

I don't think so. It's a remake.SaltyMeatballs

Fo sho. I can't guess how much but depending on on the advertising it gets it could sell as much as Halo 3 or Reach.

No chance. Halo isn't the Juggernaut it once was. It'll be lucky to crack 3 mill even.

How is it not the juggernaut selling as much this gen as it has? It seems like every one who owns a 360 owns at least Halo 3 or Reach.

lack of exclusives this year means the few exclusives are getting crazy sales. so umm yeah of course it would outsell, i would be surprised if it didnt.sethman410

But the 360 has had higher software sales than the PS3 for the entirety of its lifetime, and the exclusives have typically always outsold PS3 exclusives even when the 360 was getting far more games a year.

It's a poor excuse to claim 360 games sell ONLY because 360 owners have no other games to buy especially given that just about every single multiplat this year also sold better on the 360.

It's not like 360 owners have just been sitting on their thumbs for the last 10 months waiting for a game.

First off, it's a remake. Secondly it's releasing in the most jam packed November in a long time. I realise it might sell over time but not as much as a fully fledged Halo title.

And Halo's popularity has definitely dwindled. Halo Reach, released barely a year ago, is sitting at No.6 in the most played games on Live.

I love Halo but there's no point denying it, it ain't what it used to be, especially without Bungie.

where are you going with that? has 343 released really anything yet with the IP besides a map pack?

343 haven't proven themselves yet obviously. I love the look of Anniversary and I think they're doing an admirable job but they don't have Bungie's flair.

I don't see how you can't be skeptical when they're a completely manufactured developer set up solely to make Halo games.

They exist to make Microsoft money from the Halo name and there's just something contrived and artificial about that.

I don't know, I just feel the spark has gone from the Halo franchise and I don't want to see a Halo 4 without Bungie at the helm. I'm going to reserve my judgement until I actually see the game. 343 seem awfully capable but they're not Bungie. Sorry if you don't get that.

And they fixed the MP. I can't believe it but they did in a few weeks what people were clamoring for for nearly a year with Bungie. They nerfed Armor Lock and added a playlist with no reticule bloom. Finally.

No need to feel sorry for me,but honestly man this sounds more of a case of nostalgia then anything else. I personally stopped caring about bungie after Reach and im looking for 343 to finally make an effort in putting a decent story in the halo games for once.

Probably....Last Halo sold what? 6 million? Heil68

I imagine you have these figures if you are making the statement. I'd like to see them. If all of MS's exclusives have sold tons, and thus were profiteable, they wouldn't have stopped developing all but a few franchises.

Both companies have a few huge selling games, some lesser selling, and some poor selling. Really though, what's considered poor sales depends on how expensive the game in question was to produce.
