you have no idea if thats true or not....the game was advertised more then prett much every current game combined....after all the money they spent on advertisment, for all we know....MS may be hugely dissapointed that they sold barely more consoles then the Wii...again, this is something we have no way of knowing....

Halo 2 had two extra weeks to work with, if you're going by NPD numbers. Don't forget Halo 3 was released on the 25th.

Madden 07 sold 7.4 Million. When Halo 3 sells that much in one year then okay it will be the most powerful game in recent USA history but Madden 07 sold 7.4 million in the USA alone which is more the Halo CE sold through its entire life time and a little bit less then Halo 2.

This topic is looking at this matter though a vacuum. You say Halo 3 is the most powerful game because of it's sales, well guess what Halo 3 will probably never get to the total sales of Nintendogs. Halo 3 still might be more of a powerful game, but if you're going to use sales as an argument then you have to explain why we should dismiss all of the other huge selling games in history. Personally, I don't even think Halo 3 is the most powerful game this gen, that would be Wii sports.

agreed you always stuck by your guns with Halo 3, and yes it is and was everything you said it would be. Crazy thing is Christmas is gonna sell 360's like crazy just for Halo 3. Parents and people who have no idea, are drawn to halo 3. It really looks sick if you dont play videogames and you see Halo 3 gameplay.

You can put any two titles in the same sentence, it doesn't make a game any more glorious. That's just being dramatic.

The game is no 800lb gorilla. There are a lot of franchises who've had similar and better success.

Halo sells well because almost every Xbox fan buys it at the same time. Its almost like a boom and bust deal. Halo 2 was sold out everywhere here until the friday of the week it was released, then it was permanently back in stock. The thing about it though is that you make enough money on the boom with Halo that you don't care about the bust.

Well if its simultaneously on PC then I wouldn't consider it a killer app. Unless you want to count multi-plats then in that case Madden would be almost every gaming system's killer app :lol:
