I think at max 1.5-2 million units. Halo 3 will sell about 6-7 million total. Is that a fair and accurateprediction?

Lets wait and see. It's pointless to try and predict these things.

If Halo 3 was really expecting to move 360 units like some people say on here, M$ would have adjusted their sale prediction to the shareholders. However, that's not the case.

Id honestly expect very few. Most who really love Halo already have the 360. A system seller will come from a new IP people dont know about.

Most people that wanted to play Halo 3 already bought a 360. Still, it is certainly going to move about 1 million consoles (to be realistic).

none, there isn't even a halo 3 360 package announced:|. Besides the fact is that most of the people who wanted 360 for Halo 3 already got, it'll be the same thing that happened with the gears phenomena.

I can't imagine there being a massive surge of 360 sales with Halo 3's release, though I do expect a small bump. The 360's been around for awhile, Halo fans set on getting the game probably have had theirs for some time now.Slashkice

so i take it the ps3 wont sellonce metal gear solid comes out or killzone cause they probably already bought it for those games.

I don't think no game will. Sure a slight boost, but nothing outrageous. One poster said 5 million Xbox360 will be sold due to Halo 3...:?

Lets put it this way for the uninformed people. Halo 2 came out in holiday of 2004. For that quarter, the XBOX beat the PS2 in sales overall (only time to ever do that) and that was the only quarter in the XBOX's life to post a profit. In other words, look for the 360 to sell a crap load of consoles this holiday season because of Halo 3. In retrospect, the 360 shipped to retail 4+ million units last holiday (Q4 2006). They are estimated to shipped 5 to 6 million this holiday (Q4 2007) because of Halo 3. Yes Halo 3 is a monster.

Doubt you can for obvious reasons,but hop on Halo2 online and just ask if people are still playing on their original xbox.A lot. Ask why they dont have a 360 yet,the answer youll get ? waiting for Halo 3

Exactly. A lot of the 360 owners were PS2 owners and did not buy the console for Halo 3. The Halo 3 fanbase is still waiting. I have a ton of friends who have been either waiting on a price drop for the 360 or Halo 3. It seems they will be getting both with in a 2 month period.

So, a 1-2 million increase? Like I posted in the original OP?

That is just for Q4. Q3 estimates are around 2 million as well, meaning MS is expecting to ship out 7 to 8 million units in the last 6 months of the year. Some analysts actually believe MS should raise the estimates.

Any way, if MS does hit their estimates that means the 360 will have shipped by years end between 18 to 20 million units. Not bad for 2 years.

it will bw hard to pin down what percentage of sales are due to halo3 alone. there are other factors that will drive 360 sales at the same time. 50% of all retail sales happen in november and december. that wont affect the wii since it remains slod out. the wii will sell as many in those months as it does this month. selling 100% of production is all you can sell. the 360 will have a price cut or two by then. a real cut, not a clearence sale on an unwanted product wasting shelf space. when you get to the store this christmas you'll see the 360 with a price cut and halo3, and you'll see the dusty $600 ps3 with a "you just wait" sign.thats your choices. remember the core will probably as cheap as the wii so we know what the people that wanted the wii will get. halo3 will be on magazine covers, the internet, everywhere. is there any ps3 game that will get a midnight release like we know halo3 will? i dont think so. hype sells.

the 360 will sell 3-4 million in november and 6+ mill in december. that'll be 10 million. what part of that 10 million is due to halo i dont know. but those saying everybody that wants halo already has a 360 is like saing everybody that want god of war alreaddy has a ps3. if that's really the case sony might as well cancle the remaining ps3 model today and admit total failure.

Honestly I dont see Halo 3 selling all that many 360 consoles in the grand scheme of things. The gamers that are really into the Halo series already own a 360 and have for some time now. Im sure there are those "fence sitters" that have been waiting for a price drop and Halo 3 to come out before they jump on board, but those numbers aren't going to be as significant as you may think. If I had to put a number to it, I'd say 250,000-500,000 360's will sell world widein the first 6 months purely because of Halo 3.

Nobody here is saying that Halo 3 wont sell some XBOX 360's. What most of us are saying is that Halo 3 isnt going to magically sell 4 million XBOX 360's! For the most part, Halo fans have already bought a 360 sinceHalo 2was the first BIG b/c game and is to this day one of the best XBL shooters!! Id say over its lifetime, Halo 3 will probably push 1-2 million 360's but nothing more!

no. the last two months. and when it happens dont be suprised. ms, nintendo, and sony are all making the 360 sell this christmas. the wii with shortages, ms with halo3 and price cuts, and sony with a much higher price and inferior library.

no. the last two months. and when it happens dont be suprised. ms, nintendo, and sony are all making the 360 sell this christmas. the wii with shortages, ms with halo3 and price cuts, and sony with a much higher price and inferior library. rdo

So let me get this straight? It took the 360 20 months to sell 11 million units, and you expect it to sell 10 million the last two months of this year?
