Halo 2 only had  700 000 pre-orders pre launch. but look at this game? This will be the biggest money maker for the first 24 hours in histor.y

Just wondering what price GOW2 is being sold at, I know Halo 2 was being sold at either 60 or 70 CAD (full price for a game back then) but since the PS2 is now old news are the games being sold for less?

Geez, that kinda scares me, I almost never pre-order games because even on day 1 they always have some in stock, but I may go pre-order this just in case...and yes its going to be incredible.

According to Microsoft Halo 2 had pre-ordered 1.5 million copies just in US. "Halo 2 has sold over 1.5 millions copies in the US on preorder." http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/622/1646/view.phtml

I don't think these are pre-order numbers to customers. It seems like it is what Sony has sold/shipping to retailers so far.

GoW2 will certainly sell, no doubt about it. But it really doesn't have the mass appeal that Halo does, IMO. While it's definitely going to sell millions, I don't see it selling more than 2.5 million copies on it's first day.

25 million copies? No. I don't think there have even been 25 million XBoxs sold. You're thinking about the $125 million it made on the first day.

Even better. I just know that no game will break Halo 2 record unless it is Halo 3 and possibly the next highly anticipated shooter Gears of War 2.

Do you have any idea h ow much Halo 2 hads made in 24 h ours? $125,000,000. GOW is a fantastic game, but not as well known to the casuals as Halo is. It will sell remarkably well though however. Record breaking? No, but record making? Yes, consider it on the list.

we're not comparing apples to apples. 110,000,000 claimed userbase vs. 25,000,000 (plus or minus). Imagine if there were 80,000,000 XBoxes in homes when Halo 2 launched. :shock:
