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.

This is System Wars. I'm allowed to do such things here.
haha i like how you put this..i would say a pretty big number. but it also could be smaller than expected becasue many people could have baught a 360 b4 to just have it already. thanagian people could wait til christma......wait no thats not possibe!!!i dont knowALOTbamizhim
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.
Little to none, all the Halo fans got their 360.

Yeah, since there's already a Halo game on the 360. :|

dude thats not what im saying its not like u cant buy a 360 and a halo 3 game
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...:?

i dont think 5 million but i still think it will be a big increase just look at how many xboxs halo 2 moved

Lol, i never heard such a dumb comment. Most Halo fans already have a 360.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.
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.eastside49er
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.
One Hundred Billion, 99.999~% of them in japan
Seriously who know Halo 2 is credited with between 2 - 5 million

He's pretty much right.
Nope, that is false.

Wait...you expect 10 million Xbox360 units to be sold in the last 6 months of this year? lol.
[QUOTE="Cali3350"]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.v-vega75i could say the same thing for mgs4 and ff13. everyone that wanted it bought a ps3 already.;)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?
