true, but then again, imo it would look too much like the slim as it is. I actually like this one a lot. I still have an old Halo 3 xbox 360 that RROD a long time ago on me, but it's fixed. Now that was what u call a green poo like color, haha

I've found that Amazon isn't a big deal when it comes to sales.

So I wouldn't get my hopes up yet.

Ps3 constantly out selling 360 by a large margin (up until slim released) yet losing in NPD sales.

TC this must be a lie because all the Sony fans have already pointed out that anyone that wants Halo Reach would already have bought the console.lol Seriously though it is good to hear it is doing so good already.

But didn't the 360 S shoot up the charts and sell a lot in a short period?

Yes, why is why I said until the 360 slim was released. Ever since the Ps3 slim was released, it has been slaughtering 360 on Amazon (until now). But yet only managed to beat 360 in NPD once, maybe twice.

Guess how much the PRO 360 was at LAUNCH 2005? $399!

My how the years have been kind to the pricing...maybe it is a tad much. :P

It's cool though, I myself have a Halo 3 Xbox 360, and two Halo Xbox's.

on a serious note.. Amazon is extremely useless when it comes to sales.. want examples? I also remember when Modnation racers and Alan wake where "in the top 5 at amazon!" only to find out when NPD came out that neither game even made the top 10 in sales.. so yea, amazon is a useless tool to use for sales im sorry

I've never said that. I still maintain that you stamp "HALO" on a box with a turd inside it and the fanbase will not only buy millions of copies, they will praise it as the single best box of turd ever.

Rest assured lemmings, Halo fever is still insanely rampant. Let's not try and rewrite history (and factual/sales evidence) to act like Reach is somehow the second coming and resurection of Halo PROVING it is the saviour of videogames.

It comes with Many Halo related struff , and you get and extra controller , so 400 $ isn't much , now 350$ would have completely nailed it.

This is a good point but it would be interesting to see how much supply constraints played a part against PS3 as well (when it was doing so well).

Alot of fans are probably buying it for the artwork on the console/controllers and upgrading from their old 360s.

It really doesn't, the PS3 was higher than the Wii and 360 for months on the video game charts, yet it lost in NPD.

Halo 3 didn't even win shooter of the year in 2007, much less GOTY. Why is Reach going to be the best game ever again?

MS is on a roll. Seems like any bundle they have with the new 360, get lots of pre-orders and sell like hotcakes.

I'm just saying that both the gaming public and gaming critics STILL love and worship the Halo franchise as one of the best FPS out there. It seems odd to me that theTC has imagined some world where Halo is on the downfall and this is its heroic rise.

Amazon is not counted in the NPD sales... It never has been i think

You'd have to look at every amazon site to establish that and even then, it's not neccessarily the largest retailer for video games.

Wait, what? I've never heard about this before?

I dont think its wide spread, but I heard horror stories about people sending in a speacil console (like asigned one or a Limited edition finish) and MS couldnt fix the problem, so they sent them a Refurb regualr one. thats maybe why I would be warey of something like this. Im not starting a flamewar, but I would be more comfortable buying a console like this if I knew the console wasnt very likely to break, like if it was that Speacil Edition white PS3 SKU for FF 13 that Japan got. And we still dont know the stability of these new 360 because they havent been out long enough to gauge that kind of stuff properly, adn probaly wont be able to for like another 5 months or something.

I am impressed, but it doesn't neccessarily make Reach a system seller. (Yes, I use the word neccessarily a lot on this forum). Keep in mind that people will be looking for bargains and having a game 2 controllers bundled is a good deal and will attract attention regardless of what the game is.
