Pretty crazy isn't it, despite it being out for much longer, Xbox 360 exclusive Halo 3 is still selling much better than the more recently released PS3 exclusive Resistance 2.In the UK charts, Resistance 2 currently sits TEN places lower than Halo 3..

Lets put this in perspective: it is only two places below Playstation 3 exclusive LittleBigPlanet and which only just came out last October.It is an incredible ten places ahead of Resistance 2 which came out last November.

I mean come on! We all knew Halo 3 would be big but big enough to outsell rivals nearly a year and a half after release?

After the popularity, immense amount of advertising, and stellar review scores, I'm not too surprised by this. Resistance 2 doesn't even look very good, in my opinion, which explains why I passed on it.

i wish i didn't buy r2. it really isn't fun. gets old fast. even the online. i don't understand how all these people are saying its awesome and better than halo, it just doesn't sell as well because people are idiots. thats like saying the ravens are a better team than the steelers when the scoreboard says otherwise.

Resistance isn't a big clever FPS series like Halo, COD or Half Life. Not surprised really.

Grow up. Sales don't make a good game. Many underappreciated games fail to sell well (Motorstorm 2) while crap games (Too Human) could do very well. I'm disapointed with this news but its not like it matters. Noone is going out of business.

Hey, I like Too Human! Leave Denis Dyack's baby alone! :cry:

And on-topic, R2 is a good game, no doubt. Actually, it's a very good game, even with the sucktastic SP. It's good in the same way Halo 2 was good for me. It's not a masterpiece, but it's good for what it is. Halo 3 is better. R1: FoM is better, which I actually liked more than Halo 3.

R2 is a fun game but it does get old fast. The coop isn't as fun as I'd hope because well basically no one talks. I played coop for 2 hours last night and not a single person talked. In some games there was maybe one other person that had a mic while i had mine as well and still no one talked. The coop gets repetitive quickly as well and in the competitive modes, everyone just gets in one area and creates a cluster****.

Why did you make this topic? Did anyone ever expect R2 to outsell Halo 3?

R2 doesn't appeal to as many FPS fans as Halo 3 does. I mean, hell, I love FPS but I couldn't get into R2 at all. I'm glad I didn't buy it. I can see why people like it, but its definitely not for me.

Also, Halo 3 was 19.99 during the holidays in some areas (like here in Canada). That, and the fact that people bought a lot of 360's this holiday season. And every one knows, 360 = Halo 3.

I'm hearing from many PS3 owners that R2 wasn't as good as its predecessor, which surprises me. It looked to be better in every area, particularly in terms of epic battles. What's the deal?

Halo 3 is just the better game, not only it sold better, it plays better, more options to play the game from 4 player single player coop to the more robust multiplayer, with save films and the forge, better AI, more game modes, better charaters, better weapons and vehicles, bigger scope, better story, better advertised, bigger fanbase which draws in more fans, Halo 3 is just the better game.
