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

well this is one of the top seling games of all time and do you expect all the 26,000,000 that own a 360 to have it http://www.vgchartz.com/atotals.php halo has sold 6,730,209 so if you think thats not alot then theres something wrong with you

That actually sounds pretty impressive to me. Not many games sell at a 1/3 attatch rate.

It's too bad 1 in 3 is an amazing attachment rate, no matter what it's applied to. Try again.

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

KorruptRaiden

Just stop your thread fails, whats mgs4 selling a week now, 7k a week? halo 3 is still in the 20k's a week (according to vgchartz, just the only source we got)

Does not matter, hands down MGS4 is a better game.

according to metacritique, its not

Gamers today move on to the next big game. Unless a game REALLY sticks to the gamers(in which case Halo 3 did until Gears of War came out, then most flocked to that), gamers who have played the games will likely move on, and the new games will get the attention, so little further sales for earlier games. That's just the way the market moves these days. In other words, "out with the old, in with the new". I don't fully agree with it, but hey, that's how things go these days. With what's "in". That's another reason why I won't give in to the hype of a game, UNLESS I feel it's that great. Gears 2 had massive hype, and then it was forgotten like the rest and tossed aside once KZ2, RE5, and SF4 came along. Call of Duty and Halo are really the only games in which the hype lasts longer, but I guess games like MGS4, LBP, RFOM, and Uncharted do make a comeback. L4D was also hyped really big, then tossed aside when other games came out. I feel the same will happen for SF4 and RE5 once Prototype and other appealing games come out that the crowd's been waiting for.

Yes yes it does. I would say the opinions of hundreds of professional game journalists matter more than the opinion of one poster on a gaming forum... And TC, you're really reaching with this one. If we use this as a measure than PS2 was one of the worst consoles ever. Its top exclusive had about a 10% attach rate...

I'm not here to defend the TC.

But you have to take into account that the PS2 sold over 140 million units. With that number the 10% attachment seems pretty damn impressive. :)

The 360 only sold more than 28 million. So while the 1 in a 3 attachment rate is great, it doesn't beat the PS2's one.

battalionwars13

So what's the highest attach rate for a PS3 exclusive?

Yeah, you pretty much shut him up and said what i was going to say.

Is this just some failed damage control for that 6% of PS3 owners have K2 thread earlier?cool_beans1

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.IronBass

wow lolfaqs failed epically here, instead of bashing halo he ends up showing its great attach rate 1 in 3 360 owners owns it is pretty dam good.yoyo462001

I think We can pretty much conclude this with:

I don't get it. All this proves is that a large amount of people only buy a system for one game.Zoso-8
At the time it was only for one game...then more good ones came out and my friend who originally only bought X360 for halo now has 11 games. That shows right there how powerful the Halo series really is

Yeah, attach rate for KZ2 sucks, but i bet attach rate for LBP and MGS is far better. Surely MGS has to be about 1 in 2. Anyone wanna sauce that.

Actually, it's about 1 in 5 for MGS. Sorry. Not sure about LBP though, but I know for a fact its less than MGS.

Most game devs would sell their soul, their spouse, and their children for half the sales halo 3 has. I dont know who would call a 1/3 attach rate a failure.

Umm... no, that isn't sad at all. 30% is really good... You do realise, TC, that it's better than any Ps3 exclusive (MGS 4 is highest at something like 20%).

[QUOTE="JunkTrap"]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.battalionwars13
Nope i think its wii play who wins that title. True this thread does fail

Wii Play is bundled

1 in 3 is pretty sad when it took nearly 2 years to hit that mark.

lolfaqs

Nope, 1 in 3 is very good. And considering it took 2 years to hit that mark, that means that it's sales didn't die off after launch, but instead stayed strong.

A 30% attach rate is bad? Are you kidding me?

The guy is either joking or just so blinded by his fanboyness that he'd made a complete fool of himself. 30% is a brilliant attach rate as many people before me have pointed out.
