:lol: Wow! Halo and Halo 2 didn't sell nearly as much as I thought.

Halo - 6.43 million

Halo 2 - 7.89 million

Nintendogs - 13.58 million :lol:

The strange thing though is that Halo and Halo 2 ARE THE ONLY REASONS FOR XBOX SUCCESS. Look at the chart. Find the 3rd highest selling Xbox game. Splinter Cell with 2.93 million. :lol:

Halo and Halo 2 have TRIPLE THE SALES of its runner up Splinter Cell LOL! That is just absurd and kinda proves my point that a lot of lemmings only play Halo and Halo 2. 25% of all Xbox sales are because of Halo and Halo 2. Yet, there are many games that have sold better on other systems.

Halo 2 is in 31st place in worldwide sales...It's not even in the top 30 :lol:

Halo 1 is in 49th place in worldwide sales.

The "Amazing LOL!" Halo Sales Debunked and Shredded

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl has already surpassed Halo sales :lol:

Ocarina of Time sold more than Halo

As well as Super Mario Kart, GoldenEye, Donkey Kong Country.

Oh yeah...Super Mario World and Tetris have as well.

GTA 3, Vice City San Andreas as well.

Super Smash Bros. Melee has beaten Halo in sales... :lol: at every lemming who made fun of that game....and :lol: that a game on a console with worse sales than Xbox still manages to outsell Halo!

Brain Training for DS has beaten Halo in sales :lol:

Every Pokemon game :lol:

Gran Turismo 4

You get the idea. Halo 2 sold over 2 million overnight. But it took almost 3 years to sell 5 million more. Halo's popularity is grossly exaggerated and overrated. GeOW has already sold 3.98 million in 6 months. It is catching up to your precious Halo lemmings! Like it or not, GeOW is going to become as popular with lemmings as Halo is.

So, do lemmings still think Halo 3 will obliterate other software sales this holiday? Most Mario platformers (except SMS) outsold Halo and Halo 2. Who says Super Mario Galaxy won't outsell Halo 3? Wii is going to surpass 360 sales by August or September and have a bigger fanbase.

*Waits patiently for lemmings to come in and say that teh Halo 3 will destroy everything in its path* :lol:

On June 20, 2006, Xbox.com reported that more than a half-billion games of Halo 2 have been played on Xbox Live since its debut; it also reported that 9.2 million units of Halo 2 have been sold worldwide.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_2

That was stated on xbox.com,so the numbers are legit I take it.:|So much for your source.

Dang, Halo2 isn't in the top 30 world wide in game sales, according to you? Crap man, I'm throwing out my 360. I'll start playing Diamond again (which I got months ago- japanese version- been bored of for months) because a lot of people bought it. yey.

"But, but, but...the Halo and Halo 2 has a higher attach rate AvidGamer! :lol:

That may be true...but I only made this thread to show that Halo and Halo 2 aren't even in the top 20 games sold of all time.  That was the only reason I made this thread.  Yet, I still get lambasted and flamed even with links!  :lol: Maybe Vgcharts is soooooooo far off that Halo and Halo 2 have sol 10 times more than any game in history :lol: I'm sure some lemmings believe that.  Oh noez!  Teh Master Chief isn't in the top 20! :cry: :lol:

Sorry for being a jerk about this lemmings!  I know it is hard to accept that Halo/Halo 2 aren't the top sellers like many just assumed.  I've never seen anyone debate threads that have said Halo/Halo2 are the best selling games.  There USED to be threads that said this, and people just went along with it.  Just showing you THOSE THREADS WERE WRONG!

"But teh attach rate!" :lol:

"The best FPS ever!" :lol:

"Lemmings saying Halo/Halo2 blows PC FPS contols away! :lol:

Like I said...I've lurked here for a long time b4 posting.  You WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE RIDICULOUS FALSE STATEMENTS made about teh Halo.  You would've thought Halo was the 2nd coming or something.  Threads awhile back said that Halo 3 would singlehandeldly halt all software sales of other consoles!  I'm dead serious!  Threads used to say this about Halo 3!  And, I bet those type of threads are coming soon again...especially just b4 Halo 3's release.

"And _____ wonder why people scoff when they think ______ is the greatest game ever." C'mon dude, there are millions of lemmings who don't think Halo is the greatest game ever; you can fill in those two blanks with almost anything. Besides, are you trying to imply that because 30 videogames outsold it, that means it can't be the greatest game ever?

(for the record, I don't think either Halo is even close to the greatest game ever, but sales don't factor into my decision)

For the record, I personally prefer console FPS controls to PC controls. Why? Because it's not important to me whether I have the pinpoint accuracy of a mouse (which, when you think about it, is a little cheap anyway); I'd rather be comfortable, and I find using a controller a much more enjoyable experience. This isn't a big deal, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Secondly, while I don't think most rational people would say that Wii/PS2/PS3 console sales will grind to a halt when Halo 3 comes out, are you really that delusional to think that Halo 3 won't make a huge impact on Xbox 360 sales, and thus at least somewhat adversely impact sales of other consoles? No matter how you spin your numbers, Halo is a gigantic series, and Halo 3 is probably the most hyped game of all time. First fanboys try to claim that Crackdown was/is a bestseller due to the Halo beta, and then they try to say Halo isn't that big of a series? Which is it? Halo 3 might not ever sell 95 billion copies, but it shouldn't surprise anyone if it outsells all the games that come out this year. That in of itself would be a feat.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Halo 2 sold 2.5 million copies in 24 hours, thats 125 millions dollars in revenue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is still the record - it even beat out Spider Man 2.SeanBond

I think that record was beaten by (ugh) one of the last couple Harry Potter books, but yeah, it's at least 2nd place, and either way, an amazing number.

Just the last one that came out.  Harry Potter books are huge.  Like pokemon but for people who read....It's really sad that a "book"! has garnered so much attention and sales!

Also, too those arguing the Smash Brothers and Halo 2 sales.  He stated that SB outsold Halo.(meaning he chose the lesser sales title of the series to make up points for his arguments)

I'm sorry but what are we debunking? I'm lost. What was proven? That the Halo series sold great? I don't get this thread. What is the point that the OP is trying to make?

BTW, Majority of Halo sales occured within is first couple of months, any other franchise can achieve large numbers given the right amount of time.

We are debunking the notion of a new console in an highly competitive field lack of record breaking sales(only 31 of all time) compared to the last nearly 30 years of gaming is important.

Hmmm interesting.

Name Console Publisher JapanAmericaOthersTotal Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Konami 0.86 1.42 1.68 TOTAL: 3.96

Didn't know MGS3 sold so poorly for a system seller.

themyth01

And didn't RE 4 only sold 1.61 mill? O_0 and Zelda WW sold only 4.35 mill. Or Forza 1 mill.

Yea, let's bring more random games which sequels get hyped but won't sell systems because they only sold a couple of millions. And let's make mills. seem like cents.

The topic creator's logic seems a bit off to me. He starts saying how Halo was responsible for alot of Xbox sales and how thats all xbox owners play, but then he goes on to diss how rubbish it sold. Surely this means, if it sold rubbishly, that its not what all xbox owners play at all?

So just because you did not have a good idea about the Halo sales numbers it's a flop?

[QUOTE="AvIdGaMeR444"]

"But, but, but...the Halo and Halo 2 has a higher attach rate AvidGamer! :lol:

That may be true...but I only made this thread to show that Halo and Halo 2 aren't even in the top 20 games sold of all time. That was the only reason I made this thread. Yet, I still get lambasted and flamed even with links! :lol: Maybe Vgcharts is soooooooo far off that Halo and Halo 2 have sol 10 times more than any game in history :lol: I'm sure some lemmings believe that. Oh noez! Teh Master Chief isn't in the top 20! :cry: :lol:

Sorry for being a jerk about this lemmings! I know it is hard to accept that Halo/Halo 2 aren't the top sellers like many just assumed. I've never seen anyone debate threads that have said Halo/Halo2 are the best selling games. There USED to be threads that said this, and people just went along with it. Just showing you THOSE THREADS WERE WRONG!

"But teh attach rate!" :lol:

"The best FPS ever!" :lol:

"Lemmings saying Halo/Halo2 blows PC FPS contols away! :lol:

Like I said...I've lurked here for a long time b4 posting. You WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE RIDICULOUS FALSE STATEMENTS made about teh Halo. You would've thought Halo was the 2nd coming or something. Threads awhile back said that Halo 3 would singlehandeldly halt all software sales of other consoles! I'm dead serious! Threads used to say this about Halo 3! And, I bet those type of threads are coming soon again...especially just b4 Halo 3's release.

 

 

SeanBond

For the record, I personally prefer console FPS controls to PC controls. Why? Because it's not important to me whether I have the pinpoint accuracy of a mouse (which, when you think about it, is a little cheap anyway); I'd rather be comfortable, and I find using a controller a much more enjoyable experience. This isn't a big deal, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Secondly, while I don't think most rational people would say that Wii/PS2/PS3 console sales will grind to a halt when Halo 3 comes out, are you really that delusional to think that Halo 3 won't make a huge impact on Xbox 360 sales, and thus at least somewhat adversely impact sales of other consoles? No matter how you spin your numbers, Halo is a gigantic series, and Halo 3 is probably the most hyped game of all time. First fanboys try to claim that Crackdown was/is a bestseller due to the Halo beta, and then they try to say Halo isn't that big of a series? Which is it? Halo 3 might not ever sell 95 billion copies, but it shouldn't surprise anyone if it outsells all the games that come out this year. That in of itself would be a feat.

GTA 4 will beat it. It's a bigger series, and it's also hitting two consoles. So it'll sell more.

But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to see Halo 3 sell a bare minimum of 5 million copies - thats incredible.

[QUOTE="themyth01"]

Hmmm interesting.

Name Console Publisher JapanAmericaOthersTotal Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Konami 0.86 1.42 1.68 TOTAL: 3.96

Didn't know MGS3 sold so poorly for a system seller.

tegovoltio

And didn't RE 4 only sold 1.61 mill? O_0 and Zelda WW sold only 4.35 mill. Or Forza 1 mill.

Yea, let's bring more random games which sequels get hyped but won't sell systems because they only sold a couple of millions. And let's make mills. seem like cents.

I agree. Its beyond stupid to put this in the spotlight. Halo, and other series mentioned, are all great and great selling titles, and are all getting sequels.

:lol: Wow!  Halo and Halo 2 didn't sell nearly as much as I thought.  

Halo - 6.43 million

Halo 2 - 7.89 million

Nintendogs - 13.58 million :lol:

The strange thing though is that Halo and Halo 2 ARE THE ONLY REASONS FOR XBOX SUCCESS.  Look at the chart.  Find the 3rd highest selling Xbox game.   Splinter Cell with 2.93 million.  :lol:

Halo and Halo 2 have TRIPLE THE SALES of its runner up Splinter Cell LOL! That is just absurd and kinda proves my point that a lot of lemmings only play Halo and Halo 2.  25% of all Xbox sales are because of Halo and Halo 2.  Yet, there are many games that have sold better on other systems. 

Halo 2 is in 31st place in worldwide sales...It's not even in the top 30 :lol: 

Halo 1 is in 49th place in worldwide sales.

The "Amazing LOL!" Halo Sales Debunked and Shredded

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl has already surpassed Halo sales :lol:

Ocarina of Time sold more than Halo

As well as Super Mario Kart, GoldenEye, Donkey Kong Country.

Oh yeah...Super Mario World and Tetris have as well.

GTA 3, Vice City San Andreas as well.

Super Smash Bros. Melee has beaten Halo in sales... :lol: at every lemming who made fun of that game....and :lol: that a game on a console with worse sales than Xbox still manages to outsell Halo!

Brain Training for DS has beaten Halo in sales :lol:

Every Pokemon game :lol:

Gran Turismo 4

You get the idea.  Halo 2 sold over 2 million overnight.  But it took almost 3 years to sell 5 million more.  Halo's popularity is grossly exaggerated and overrated.  GeOW has already sold 3.98 million in 6 months.  It is catching up to your precious Halo lemmings!  Like it or not, GeOW is going to become as popular with lemmings as Halo is. 

So, do lemmings still think Halo 3 will obliterate other software sales this holiday?  Most Mario platformers (except SMS) outsold Halo and Halo 2.  Who says Super Mario Galaxy won't outsell Halo 3?  Wii is going to surpass 360 sales by August or September and have a bigger fanbase. 

*Waits patiently for lemmings to come in and say that teh Halo 3 will destroy everything in its path* :lol:

I'm not quite sure you understand how much of an acheivment it is for Halo/Halo 2 to be 2 of the top 50 games based on sales numbers.

Do you realise just how many games there have actually been?

This is a major acheivment!

Do you do nothing but troll against the Xbox 360? Seriously. not one of your threads so far has been anything but fanboy dribble.

You want to know what's so funny?  You talk about how there aren't any good Xbox games other than Halo, and yet you get thrilled when they give the PS3 ports of formerly exclusive Xbox games we've played years ago.  The best games you guys have in your current lineup are Oblivion and Ninja Gaiden Sigma.  Been there, done that.  How are those sloppy seconds treatin' ya?

With a user base of 25 million, I'd say 1 out of 3 owners buying it is fantastic.  I'd like to see something on PS2 sell as well.

This thread is just more proof  that cows are terrified of Halo3 because of Halo2's success.

 

Poor, poor cows!:lol:
