Do you think release of ODST can help raising 360 sales a lot?

I think coming week is interesting to research. If with ODST releasing, 360still isn't sold more than PS3. I thinke MS will lose this holiday.......there are no exclusive big titles coming....I think only COD6 can help a little.

I would think that most people who care about Halo already have a 360.

It will be exciting that first month, for sure, but long term appeal...I don't know.

It's short and more of an expansion...so maybe not bringing in new 360 sales, but surely old Halo 3 fans will buy it up.

I would think that most people who considering Halo worth buying the 360 for would have done so when Halo 3 was released.

Not really, I think MS is trying to sell it to current 360 owners.

Yup I agree with this. However there is always the chance that someone will buy a 360 because of ODST, considering that Halo 3, without a doubt, was a system seller.

As do I & rightfully so as they are aware that most if not all major Halo fans bought console with release of Halo 3.

If it was Reach then yes but an expansion? no. I have many friends who play Halo 3 online and only 1 is getting it and from what i heard most of ppl who plays Halo 3 multiplayer are not getting it or at least that what most says.

Lose? nah, MS is taking the bundles approach on this holiday hence the halo 3 and ODST bundle, the MW2 bundle (which I will be getting), the Forza 3 bundle ect. I think that this holiday will be neck and neck niether will outsell the other by much. ~1million difrence

The ODST Bundle comes with Halo 3 and ODST..so it's possible that bundle could push sales. I think the MW2 bundle will sell more though, it's closer to the holidays.

Again, I'm pretty sure anyone who has the slightest interest in Halo Reach will have already purchased a 360 for Halo 3 or Halo ODST.

i dont think it will help sales that much at all, most people who like halo would have already gotten halo 3 and already own a 360 because of that.

Indeed, and it also offers more value than Halo 3. If I didn't have either I would get ODST for the campaign, firefight, and Halo 3 online with all maps and modes.

im going to sell my xbox so no i think it willnot help xbox sales,odst is just a spin off nothing special thought it had a more darker tone to the game instead looks like a rookie army dude fliping warhogs, i use to play halo 3 it was good for its parts but i lost interest in scifi fps just not a tactical shooter.

I wouldn't know. I'd say a moderate bump but nothing huge.

Mostly only people already into Halo are interested in this. People into Halo surely already own 360's.

Halo OSDT is only the first shot from MS this fall which will ensure the 360 outsells teh PS3 this holiday season.

People underestimate the Halo brand.Sure most fans have already snapped up a 360 when Halo 3 released and sold in the millions.But Halo is attracting new followers all the time.

I'm confident it can make an impact.
