Someone just has to remember about all the other great games the 360 has, so if Halo 3 where to flop they could take it's a place as a system seller. Anyway even if it gets a8.5 and flops it will still sell like mad and probably at the end of it's life time sell 9-10 million copies. Anyway your PS3 flopped because it's AAA heavenly sword got AA, and I think AAA otherwise AA Lair got 4.5 but we all know the PS3 hasn't flopped until major exclusives like GT5, FF13 and MGS4 flop or go multiplatform.

I prefer PC but to be fair the 360 has a lot of other good games and doesn't need Halo at this point.

But as its aimed at casuals Halo will sell loads anyway.

If it flops SW will implode, there is be mass ownage to hand out and the lemming population of SW will leave for a few weeks. But the 360 still has plenty of good games under it's belt, Microsofts gaming division no longer relies on Halo.

now ps3 needs its big names to do well or its over. if mgs4 doesnt deliver, its over. sorry cow.

Xbox 360 wont flop if Halo flops, the two are completely unrelated.

Xbox 360 will only flop if microsoft doesn't pull thir finger out their ass and do some work. They have never made a profit, and right now the games division is $4bn in the red, and if they haven't made a profit soon there will be no xbox 360sequel.

Halo 3 will be a good game, but unless they have sonething good up their sleeve,it won't have enough new content to give it AAA status. HS showed that hype alone won't do it.

If Halo 3 flops, system wars will be over run by a stampeding herd of cows. But guess what, Halo 3 could score a 3, and it will still sell like hot cakes. Halo is a franchise where the review score really doesn't matter. Much like the GTA and Gran Turismo series. I'm not a fan of Halo, but it is a sales juggernaut. 360 ain't going no where.

$4 billion in debt, never made a profit, and being outsold by a last-gen console?

Sounds really successful.

I don't get into all that "quote me on itnonsense". If Mass Effect delivers, I believe it will be GOTY. Bioshock is also a contender, and if Crysis delivers, it will also be a contender.

I thinka surprise contender could be UT3. Even though it has not been talked about much, I do know the SP experience this time around is not going to be the same ladder based format they have always used. It is supposed to be a real sp with a real story. If they can make the sp at least on par with Gears, and with UT's insane online and awesome weapons and vehicles, it could sneak in as a nominee and surprise everyone. Epic is on a roll, so it could happen. I don't know if an FPS can take it though, so I would bank on Mass Effect.

no matter the score on gamespot, the fact that Halo 3 is one of the most pre ordered games of all time, and is going to sell like crazy, Microsoft and Bungie are already rolling in the money.

Does it matter? To most cows the game has flopped already. And to make matters worse if it does get below AAA the cows will have a field day and if the gets AAA the cows will claim that either, A) it should not have /did not deserve it or, B) Gamespot is owned by MS. So no matter what Halo 3 does the cows will claim pwnage so why bother even looking at the score? If you are a cow the game is a flopp either way and if you are a lemming it is a great game even it only gets a AA.

I doubt halo 3 will flop sales wise due to its popularity, regardless of what score it gets.

but what exactly does the xbox rely on now?? the one year head star? Gears of war, which is going to the PC and Epic announcing a spin off for the PS3? the faulty hardware??

Halo 3 wont flop. What I can see happening though is a lot of people buying it and then realizing that it's pretty much Halo 2 with new maps and upscaled graphics.

There's a big difference between a game flopping in SW and a game being bad. If Halo 3 scores an 8.5 at GS, it will be pronounced a FLOP and there will be much flaming in SW. But outside of SW, that designation means nothing. An 8.5 would still be a great score and the game would be good.

If the game is crappy and low quality, then yes, the 360 may be a little bit in trouble. But not as much as you think. The 360 has a much better library than the XB did. The XB had Halo plus a few other titles. The 360 already has the best gaming library this gen with Halo 3 not even released yet. That's a big difference.

Depends on flop.If you're talking GS scores then no. So if Halo3 scores an 8.5 here then it flopped based on the hype. But to the gamer and sales it won't flop the console.

If it is salesthen yes it can flop the console as they are expecting Halo3 to move a ton of consoles.

Not really. I suggest you read up on the game before you judge it :roll:

I could say Killzone 2 will just be Killzone with updated graphics; but that doesn't make it true. Killzone sucked arse anyway, so we all better hope that isn't true :)

If Halo 3 flops on GS score wise? If that's what you're asking, no it wont stop it from being the system seller it is.

I'm going to disagree. I stand by my initial claims that Halo has become irrelevant and depsite the hype, Halo 3 will disappoint most honest people and will mark the downfall of the series.

Then again, I've never understood what the hype was about in the first place. ALl I know NOW is that with Bioshock so fresh in people's minds, and Mass Effect right around the corner, Halo 3 is sure to disappoint.
