Halo 2 sold 8 million copies , and I bet 80% of the people whoare thinking about buying Halo 3 already own a 360 . Plus , Halo 3is already overshadowed by COD4 and Crysis.

So you're assuming all of Halo 3 fans are willing to pay the higher price and not wait for release and price drops? I love when people speculate like this like they're close to the truth or something. I know many people who pre-ordered Halo 3 before they even got a 360. Pretty much waiting for a release and/or a price drop

I only bought my 360 cause it was on sale for $50 less plus four free games which was a wicked deal. Otherwise I would have waited to this upcoming holiday season

I was planning to buy Halo3, but Crysis, a PC shooter wish nice visuals, and CoD4, another linear war game, stopped me from doing it.

I have to bash CoD4 because CoD2 and 3 were to terrible to me that they made me angry.

I have 6 friends who bought Halo 2, I have 3 friends without a 360. If half of the people have not bought 360s yet that means 4mil 360s sold this holiday season right? See I can use conjecture too.

Yeah people fail to understand that. Ive gone around on xbox live when playing Halo 2 asking people if they own 360s and most of them said they were waiting for halo 3 to buy the system.

blackhorsemen, thank you for you're opinion based on an extremely rough estimate that you just made up. Honestly, I think Halo 3 will sell alot more 360s than you think.

and what makes you so confident that you know how many 360s I think halo 3 will sell? ...I could be predicting it will only sell one, which would really render this thread completely useless, so I'm sorry to disappoint.

If Ms can sell 1.1 million units with gears last December, I think Halo 3 can do the same, if not better.

Here' some common sense imo.

If all these people want Halo 3. Why would you buy a console like two years before your game is coming out when it is most expensive and not bundled?

If you really want Halo 3 and that is selling the system for you than you would wait for Halo 3 to come out and wait for a price drop and both will happen by this holiday season.

I bought it early again cause of a deal, otherwise I would be getting one in november

Here is the way i see it. Alot of people who want Halo already have an X360, but there are still alot more who dont have an X360 who want Halo. And alot of casuals who dont have an X360 are gonna hear all the hype and praise for Halo3 and that will most likely tip them towards buying an X360. I dunno what happens with casuals but a lot must be rich because they buy consoles form 1 game. example: buy a PS2 for GTA3 or Buy an Xbox for Halo.

The September NPD numbers will blow you away. You underestimate the game. I'm calling a minimum of 1.5 million 360s sold and that's a low expecation for Halo 3 compared to many others.

Um, how do you come to that conclusion? There has been no Halo game for Xbox 360, so most Halo gamers wouldn't already own the console. I am thinking the reason that people already bought it was for PDZ and Gears of War. There are still a lot of Halo fans that need to "Jump In".

this comment will be valid about 1-2 weeks before Halo is released as the majority of Halo fans will have an X360 in anticipation of the game's release.

Maybe its just me, but that looks like your saying.

Majority of the people who want Halo already have 360, but theres still a majority of people who dont have one and wanta 360.

Majority and majority don't go together, so I hope im just interpreting what you said wrong.

CoD4 and Crysis look more impressive, but are not nearly as popular... especially with "Joe Casual."

um, I myself have about 4 or 5 good friends waiting to buy a 360, and some more are waiting a while but i know they'll end up getting a 360 (some have talked about Wii but i think they all know it's pretty overrated). Hey TC, what gives you these stupid ideas?

I chuckled when I saw your thread title because I immediately knew you were going to say "I bet *random percent* of Halo fans have already bought a 360." From personal experience (which is more proof than you have), you're wrong, because I've talked to plenty of people playing Halo 2 on an original xbox. And even if you weren't wrong, you still wouldn't be sure.
