Considering the fact this is one of the few true exclusives for the 360, isn't that kind of sad?

The first two Halo games only had about a 1 in 3 attach rate. In fact, 1 in 3 is a great attach rate.

That's what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure this thread is to counter the other thread saying the attach rate of KZ2 is poor.

A response to the HipHopGamer... well, that's appropriate I guess, since most of HipHopGamer's "news" is nothing more than fanboy nonsense anyway.

We got our own version of the HipHopGamer... The only little detail that fails here: 30% is an awesome attach rate. 6%, not that much.

Well didn't MGS4 sell 4 million or so? 4mil/21mil = only equals about 21%. The highest selling games that's not bundled is mario cart wii, which also has an attach rate still lower than 30%. I think if anything, you just gave more credit to halo 3. This thread fails.

MGS 4 has been out for 9 months. Compare that to the 1 year and 7 months Halo 3 has been out.

Attachment rate has nothing to do with how long a game has been out on the market. As a game sells more, a console will also sell more, so by the 3rd or 4th month, it seems as if attachment rates start to level off with a slight peak during the holiday season. 30% is amazing and nothing else touches that this generation

Not that many games can sell 10 million copies. Most companies are happy with selling a million or two. Selling 10 mil is phenomenal.

Of course HALO 3 is going to sell it's HALO it has its own mountain dew flavor. The marketing juggernaut was in full effect for anything HALO. The game is a sloppy bloated fragfest which is perfect for the 360 crowd. The lowest common denominator is now the XBOX 360 fanboy and it is proven time and time again. I am not defending any Wii or Sony fanboys mind you, it's just that now XBOX 360 is the default system like PS2 was, only not near as good or innovative as far as first party games go. The 360 is doing for consoles what microsoft did for OS take that how you will some love it some hate it. Halo will always sell GTA will always sell these are not a suprise as much as they speak about just how influenced by hype and marketing this gen is. A game like Little big planet will sell a handful in comparison, just don't say nobody warned you in 5 years when originality is dead in gaming.

really? halo 3 set a world record by selling $170 million worth of units in 24 hours in just the US. that's 2.83 million units at $60, or 2.43 million units for the $70 limited edition, or 1.42 million for the $120 legendary edition. it's easy to say that halo 3 sold more than 2 million units of all three editions combined in 24 hours in just the US. not north america, just the US. what ps3 exclusive has come close?

It's fairly common for someone to bash a console on SW and then claim to have the console in an effort to appear less biased. I find faults with all three consoles and I own them all, so I make sure I have a pic of my setup for times when I'm called on it. ;)
