[QUOTE="Holy_Xbox"]

I mean 8,1 million that's 3 times Gears of war. And don't forget Halo 3 it's only sold for 1 console. So is it possible for any games to defeat Halo 3 sales record ?

Games already have. The record Halo 3 holds is most units sold in a single day.

No it does not

The sales of Halo 3 are 2.4 - 2.5 million in the US. Though MS never released numbers, the number is estimated to be in the region of 2.4 - 2.5 million, somewhere there. Also, estimated to have sold 1.8 million in 8 hours [mostly the pre-orders who lined up at midnight] nonetheless, Halo 3 does not have any record. it has been shattered.

Basically everything I've read still points to Halo 3 having the biggest entertainment launch ever.

Also, estimated to have sold 1.8 million in 8 hours [mostly the pre-orders who lined up at midnight] nonetheless, Halo 3 does not have any record. it has been shattered.

So halo 3 sold about 2.5 million in NA on day one and lick king sold 2.8 million world wide. I would think Halo 3 sold at least 500,000 in Europe and other regions also Halo 3 cost more so generated a lot more revenue. AFAIK MS never said exactly how many copies were sold but to generate 170 million in the USA alone in 24 hours is godly.

Final Fantasy was always a huge multi million seller... The fact that it's on both consoles will improve the sales even more... FF13 will sell probably around the 6million mark, but I really doubt it will surpass halo 3 sales... After all you own a xbox 360, you have to own halo... just like mario and wii or DS...

Wow i really do not no why so many people like that game.

yoyo462001

I'm not a big fan of Halo 3 myself (prefer Team Fortress 2) but it is a fun game to play with friends. Also it's the best game for "wtf" moments, but they are good "wtf" moments. Like this. And theatre mode makes it easy to save those moments.

Nope, GTA iv sold more on the first day, first week and first month, and overall thanks to it being multi plat. Halo3 had the record back in 2007, but got beaten by gta iv.

Not really. Its like Mario with NES or Sonic with Genesis. That game is a huge reason why many people even got an X-Box. Sony and Nintendo have a ton of different IPs that people might buy the system for that one game. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Gran Turismo, God of War, Metal Gear Solid.

Top 10 selling games of all time are made by Nintendo, 4 of them from this generation. Halo 3 isn't too hard to beat, Wii Sports Resort is a upcoming game that will probably outsell it.

Modern Warfare 2 will outsell Halo 3 but some Nintendo "games" have already sold it.mmirza23
LOL YEAH MAN "games" where the hell does every Pokemon game ever, every main Super Mariogame except Sunshine and Bros 2, Mario Kart Wii/DS and 64, Duck Hunt, Tetris, Wii Sports get off calling itself a game? All that gameplay in them cant hide the novelty homework avoiding devices they are!

Yeah, just because it's a different game doesn't mean it isn't a game. It's like 100 times more innovative than Halo and deserves to sell more.

Game sales mean absolutely nothing to how good a game is. There's no point to this silly argument.

thefsmlol
i just dont get why people dont understand this, but the tc was jw if another console fps would ever out sell halo, and i believe Killzone 3 Definenlty will, THE HYPE STARTS NOW CHOO CHOO CHOOOO, lol im kidding, but i highly doubt any console fps will ever.
