That's impressive. I'm not surprised he's playing it up.

I wonder if it outsold them worldwide though.

Yeah for him, irrelevant to me. All those games will have sequels (well GoW aside, but thats for story reasons), so they all sold well enough for me to be happy...

It's not arrogant if he's stating a fact. And it is impressive. Just remember it's US only before the whole thread goes nuts as it inevitably will.

I would choose anyone of those games over Halo 3. Sales don't mean much to the end user.

1) it's NPD 2) let's make another region comparison (japan) 3) let's wait for GT5 and pick up another 360 games 4) I can only imagine the reaction in SW if this was said by a Sony PR anyways...good for them

Halo 3 has a beyond terrible single-player campaign. I mean I know R2 had a pretty crummy campaign and the graphics were iffy but it still had better campaign than Halo 3 and looked better. Also, I am willing to bet that Halo 3's advertising budget was also larger than all those games combined as well.

i thought the sad thing was that it has been out longer than most of those games and probably even halo wars would outsell them as well just for being a halo game.

[QUOTE="Giancar"] 4) I can only imagine the reaction in SW if this was said by a Sony PR

All hell would break loose. He is stating a fact though. I'm curious as to how GT5 will stack up against various selected games exclusive the the 360. What's important to me is that the games he listed sell well enough to get sequels, or better than that, the studio isn't shut down.

Worldwide the gap woldn't be as big, but I'm sure Halo 3 would still come out on top.

Still, it doesn't matter though as sales aren't a measure of quality.

Despite Halo's sales, I think Uncharted 2 is better than the ones I've played (1+2) and Killzone 2 is just as good.

Halo does crap all over Resistance though.

No I'm not saying Halo 3 is better than them because of sales, I'm saying that the quality of Halo 3 is much higher than any of those games. Uncharted is highly overrated (though I haven't played the second one) and Resistance is decent, but in no way near the quality of Halo 3.

lol, after all SW makes HUGE DEALS about all the fictional KvB twitters/ ads/commercials but yes, sales matter only in reasonable numbers to guarantee sequels and work from companies involved with such process

Then perhaps you should play the 2nd Uncharted then.

True, all hell virtually broke loose when the Twitter page of an actor paid by Sony jokingly bashed a 3rd party game: GT 5 I think would match any Halo game.

I am pretty sure that both Halo and Resistance dwell in the realm of generic shooters. I'd say in terms of quality they are fairly even, but Halo gets the better press.
