Maybe when theres more PS3's about. Other than that I doubt it by the way things are looking now, Halo was good but over hyped more than the wheel.

Halo 3 obviously isn't a man, it's a woman.

He never said anything about quality, nice way to bring your own insecurities into the thread.

However, Halo 3 had a lot more public hype then MGS4, MGS4 is very impressive for having that little of hype in comparison to Halo 3.

MS paid a lot of money for Halo 3 advertising, it doesn't take a good game to sell a lot, it just takes marketing.

So next time a company decides to put a ton of money into advertising a game, it will sell as much as Halo 3.

Uhh what? it sold 2.1 million not 3 million?

In which case it lost to Burning Crusade... but let me guess, "Expansion dont count" right? Halo 3 obviously beat Burning Crusade in Revanue ( on units not monthly included ) ... but units sold day 1 ... Burning Crusade took the cake.

Depending on the population of South Korea, SC2 might outsell it.

The only game that came close to Halo 3's first day sales of 2.8 million was WOW:TBC with 2.4 million. I expect that WOTLK will give Halo 3 a run for its money.

Ace? :lol: My point is so simple I shouldn't have to spell it out for you. Sigh, but I guess I have to Ace. ;)

Marketing is one aspect of creating a very successful game in terms of sales; however, marketing is not the only piece you will need. Your post implies that just splashing marketing dollars on any game will make it a bestseller. This statement couldn't be farther from the truth. You need a lot of things to go right. Halo 2 and Halo 3 both brought together "perfect storms" in terms of sales. All the marketing hype was there, positive reviews were there (you may disagree but the positive scores were a plenty), and the time of the year was right. These are only the big things needed, there are several other minor things that also must work. So please before you get all self-righteous with me, look at your own post. If splashing marketing dollars made all games sale like Halo, every single developer and their brother would do it. The fact is your statement is wrong. How is that for an explanation Ace?

I love how lemmings talk so much about halo 3's week 1 sales.

that record is needless.

so it sells almost 50% of what it will sell overall in 7 days? that means it won't get any ppl who didn't already want it

anyway, nintendogs has it beat in overall sales,

Super Mario Bros 3 too, tetris, Wii Play, Call of Duty 4

alot of games have outsold halo 3's lifetime sales numbers

thats like me saying okay on june 12th ps3 got an AAAE. so the week of june 12th-june 19th for the ps3 is better than the quality of games that will come out for Wii, PC, 360 in their entire respective lives.

u had your week lemmings, let it DIE!

hey wow, MGS 4 perfect 10 wow! okay, im over it. i loved the game but i dont need to rub it in everyones face

and you guys think sheep play sales

at least when they play sales they get games like Monster Hunter 3, and Fatal Frame IV

Yes...besides the fact it's an AAAE / 9.5/10 score and 3/4 of a million people play Halo 3 almost everyday, it's a bad game. Bad Halo 3.:roll:

Yeah theres about a $20,000 + difference between those cars. Theres $0 difference between Halo 3 and other games at launch. Plus they sold out of the $140 versions.
