How is this "getting crazy"? Halo is the only big game XBox has going for it (ME and Bioshock are unproven). There are 10 million 360 owners with nothing to play but Gears. It should be surprising that more of the (reported) 10 million 360 owners haven't preordered it.

By this logic, FF13 , MGS4 are unproven ...

but the fact is the following are VERY VERY unproven:

Heavenley Sword / Lair & the biggest unproven of all KILLZONE 2.

only one mil? that means approx. 1 out of 11-12 people with a 360 have a preorder. Not bad, but definately not as much as some of what was expected. (I seem to remember one short-circuited fanboy claiming 30 mil)

Whilst Halo 3 could possibly reach 4-6 mil (with a maximum of around 8 mil) by the end of this year.. I highly doubt *every* 360 owner will want halo 3. I could definitely be wrong, but I think these numbers sound pretty reasonable.

Not everyone likes Halo, or shooters. and not everyone will buy the game new (i'm sure some will even just rent it).

ME is made by BioWare, that makes it a proven title.

And if you really think there is nothing to be played on the 360 but Gears, then you need some help.

Halo 2 sold some incredible number its first few days out. I wonder if Halo 3 can top that - I doubt it, just because there's only around 10 million plus 360's out there at this time.

Considering the caliber of developers that are behind those two games, I wouldn't burst out anything like that without going through some serious thinking :|

Name more than one title you'd like to play on the PS3 this year. If you can't, you need some help.

It goes both ways, chum.

I see you added a (slightly poorly-worded) poll.

I went with no way... due to the simple fact that it *is* Halo 3. and I consider flopping as not selling. Halo 3 will definately sell well. It's like when you drop a chicken leg into a pen of hungry lions. They are all going to swarm for it. I think this is one of the reasons we will see a large number of sales for Warhawk and Lair.

I meant flopping as in the rating here on gamespot meets the hype. I agree with you saying it will sell well after all.thats what this whole thread is about.
