What differentiates it from it's predecessor?ash10692
Custom armor, Forge, theatre and a different campaign. See, you haven't played the game.

Honda outsells Mercedes. Shoot hyundai probably outsells mercedes. Don't make it better.
Timex over Rolex.
Walmart clothes over designers.

Wow you are way off on your comparisons. A mercedes costs anywhere from $40,000 to $1,000,000. While the most expensive Hyndaui is not even $40,000 dollars. For this comparison to work they would have to be the same price. Same thing with a Rollex and Timex. If they were the same price more people would buy a rolex.

MORE EPIC!!!

4 player co-op

Vastly improved multiplayer (it's true stop pretending halo 2 was so great. It was, but now halo 3 crushed it)

Custom armor only makes your chief look different, forge is a waste of time where you can spawn weapons for yourself on multiplayer and the campaign missions i've had the misfortune of playing were a blocky mess, and just far too easy.

Its lifetime sales are still being owned by a few Nintendo products still out on the market though, especially if you're including the DS. Halo 2 and 3 combined can't touch Pokemon, New Super Mario Bros, Wii Sports or Nintendogs.

I know that it is a game that is immensely disappointing compared with the previous installments.

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.

Halo is an already extremely well established franchise, Microsoft could have stepped back and not advertise it at all - and the damn game would still stell amazingly.

Nowhere close to it's numbers, to be honest. Especially the launch numbers, overtime it may match it.

Doesn't matter - it'll sell and make tons of cash no matter what. Launch numbers don't mean nothing, worthless numbers - it's only PR.

How is it immensely dissapointing? Tell me in a way where I know you played the game.

Played around 3 or 4 campaign missions, one of which was called the Ark, which felt like the same landscape over and over again. And one level set in the jungle, was dark, and didn't credit the Xbox 360's visual quality at all. And as for forge, I simply regard spawning your own weapons as cheating. The multiplayer is probably the only feature I like about the game, but it has remained the same throughout the series. Just for the record, I like the first 2 Halo games and didn't intend for my opinions to come across as flaming. It's simply what I feel about the game.

DaBrainz
Acually it takes a combination of an amazing game and great marketing to get the sales that it achieved. Much like GTA4.

If you put tons of money towards advertising a crappy game, not many people will be going out to buy it.

Also, no matter what anybody says, Halo 3 is a vast improvement over previous installments. To say otherwise is just insanity.

I think Starcraft 2 will probably outsell Halo 3, but not first day sales. After all, the original outsold Halo 3 ;)
Wrath of the Lich King on the otherhand may outsell Halo 3 first day, Burning Crusade almost did it with a subscriber base of around 6-7 million, now that it's almost over 10 million, it's only going to do better!
