Not bad for Halo. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to spoil the party with this thread but it needs to be said eventually so bare with me. A lot of games, espeially on the PS3, get a lot of sales grief because of Halo's success. It's a bit unfair to compare sales of a game like Halo 3 to for example Killzone 2.

Halo 3 has been out for about 2 years. Sales should be compared to games out just as long. But here's why Halo 3 is so successful. Besides it being ut for a long time, it's also on a larger user base. In addition, it's the tird part to the franchise which has gathered a large following. Add that to the fact that it's been bundled with the 360 for quite some time also. Halo 3 is also the game to get when you first get a 360. Either it's bundled or it's bought since it's not as expensive as it was during launch.

My point is, Halo is in it's own class right now. Though I didn't enjoy the game as much, I do see why it's popular.

Finally, for SW sake: What other 360 exclusives FPS are there that's worth it anyway?

These anti-Halo threads are beyond old by now. Is it really that hard for PS3 owners to come to grips with Halo? I mean it is getting just weird now.

This post isn't anti halo. what are you talking about. I just don't think people should be comparing its sales to younger and less popular games. It's just not fair anymore.

Halo 3 is bundled with the Xbox Elite. So are you saying that Elites are selling loads, hence why Halo 3 is also still selling loads?

No not at all. I just helps the sales numbers a bit. Your saying that no one buys the elite?

Halo beats any FPS day one, week one, month one, year one sales anyway, I dont really know what the big deal is. ITs popular, it sells and its good. Who friggin cares anymore.

This bundle argument and Halo sales is so very weak considering how many different PS3 bundles there has been from MGS4,LBP,GT5 P, UNcharted, and on and on.

The 360 has a better game attach rate then the PS3 and software sales so your logic fails.

I'm not saying halo 3 is successful just on the bundles. It does help numbers though who can deny that. If in a six month period 150K Elites get sold. That means the 150k units of halo 3 sold. It's a small number but you can still at it to the total.

There is a thread on this.Jandurin
yeah but hes trying to downplay the celebration of it reaching 10 mil by creating this thread. BTW TC its compared to KZ2 so much because of the launch day numbers that speak so loudly...of course theyre years apart so halos got the obvious advantage although i believe that in 2 years KZ2 still will not have reached the 10 mil status. anyways halo has only been bundled now for a few months....not nearly long enough to claim that a good majority of its sales came from the bundle package itself....if it was what you were trying to claim. on a side note i do believe halo 2 in comparison totally outshined KZ2 at the same stage in time after its release if you wanna compare sequels to sequels

You should know that the 360 attach rate is higher than the PS3's. Meaning that, in average, a 360 owner buys more games than a PS3 owner.

Halo 3 sold 10 million copies because.... Its an awesome game, that everyone with a 360 should own, its easy and fun to play but difficult to master, and there are several different ways to play and have fun with it.

Exactly... just like MGS4, LBP, GT5P & Uncharted...... those are bundled with the PS3.... do you see fanboys making topics about how its not fair?

This thread FAILS!

Sad, really. Simply, bad comebacks.
