I think the preorders of Halo 3 alone exceeds total sales of Gears.

This game is going to rip the competition to pieces. If I were a publisher, I wouldn't release anything until a week after its release (same platform).

I predict this will outsell crysis on PC.

I don't think anyone ever thought that crysis would sell more..

Halo 3 is probably going to break a few records. Preorders for a game, 24 hour sales for a game and will completely overtake Gears of War as far as on-line play goes when it comes to XBL.

There was a report of 4 million Halo 3 pre-orders a few months ago. I wonder what it's at now.

I dunno...WoW:TBC was kinda insane on the 24hour sales, but we shall see. The reason that Halo3 is gonna sell well is due to the success of the previous games and the godlike hype placed on it. I bet you even if Gamespot gives it a 5.5 it will still sell like hotcakes amongst X360 owners, and I know that i would be the first one to throw my well earned $80 towards this game.

halo CE one of the greatest games ever. halo 2? nothing compared to CE. halo 2 was just CE with fresh paint and dual weilding and was not AAA. halo 3? appears to be the same has halo 2. it'll probably get AAA and sell becuause of it's name but nothing worth it in my opinion. hopefully i'm wrong

Eh? The only reason it did bad on PC is because there are so many better FPS's... and it was way to late to the party...

If you mean the gamecube one (the only SSBM..) then no. It sold more like 6m.. which is still very impressive.

If you think Halo 3 the same as Halo 2 then I'd have to agree with the guy above,

You are dumb.

can you tell me what halo 3 has the sets is setself apart form halo 2? i can't. i looking forware to COD4, mass effect, Bioshock, GTA4, and assasins creed on 360 before halo 3 but again this is just my opinion

WoW was kinda nuts, but Halo 2 was on a whole nothing planet. Halo 2 sold just under 2.5 Million in 24 hours.

That is absolutly insane... but your right...halo 3 could be the worst game ever release...ut it would still sell.

No, seriously if you actually played Halo 2 then you'd know this game is not meant for the PC. And the game is really old, 2004 was it? So standards haved changed alot in 3 years. Try releasing the original Half-life, DOOM, Quake and see what scores it gets. :|

This game is going to rip the competition to pieces. If I were a publisher, I wouldn't release anything until a week after its release (same platform).

I predict this will outsell crysis on PC.

They would probably be rated as old games.. (like Wii VC games).. problem with Halo 2 is that it was rated as a new game.. which it wasn't
