Can you envision any way that the 360 could re-take the lead? I know a certain game beginning with "H" and ending with "alo 3" will give the 360 numbers a big bump, but will that really be enough at that stage?

Well Im sure a lot of people planning on buying Halo 3 already own a 360 considering the rabid Halo fans probably bought the 360 when it launched, but yeah it is still going to give the 360 a boost in sales.

As far as re taking the lead thats hard to say cause its in the lead already and we really don't know if the Wii will take the lead as fast as most might presume it to.

IDK, it will be interesting to see. This is kind of a broken recored thread I mean hasn't this topic been beaten to death yet.

:lol: Halo 3 will not sell that many units, especially when Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy and Metroid start getting released in the fall, those games are hardcore titles with massive appeal. Considering the fact that 360 console sales have pretty much halted, its safe to say that Halo 3 will not sell more consoles since all the Halo fans have already bought their 360's and no one else wants one.

Have you looked at the best seeling game lists for the Wii? I don't think the vast majority of its patrons even know what Metroid and Mario are anymore.

It will be a battle of the casuals,  most casuals want GTA IV and Halo 3 and with a price drop, the 360 could sell very well this Christmas, and much further in the future, i could see a $250 360 outselling a $150 wii,  especially with Gears of War 2 etc.

Halo is a proven seller but yes.. Halo won't change the 360's position in Japan I imagine.

Halo 3 will bump it back up to Wii's sales, unless it flops, which I highly doubt.

Have you looked at the best seeling game lists for the Wii? I don't think the vast majority of its patrons even know what Metroid and Mario are anymore.

Considering the fact that the Wii has a wider target audience now, its pretty easy to tell that games like Mario and Metroid have a much easier chance at outselling anything the 360 gets. And if Halo 3 flops I am going to laugh until I cry.

The question I have about Halo 3 as a system seller is whether it will sell systems at its release, or if it has already sold the majority of the systems it was going to sell. As in, most people who want Halo 3 already have gotten the system for games like Gears of War. Just wondering this, of course, no idea how it will play out or even how to judge that.

With Sony and Nintendo working together to achieve 1080p for the Wii, there is no reason to own a Batsu Baku 360

It could go both ways. How do you even know this "wider audience" even acknowledges those games? All they want are minigame compilations and puzzle games.

It will be a battle of the casuals,  most casuals want GTA IV and Halo 3 and with a price drop, the 360 could sell very well this Christmas, and much further in the future, i could see a $250 360 outselling a $150 wii,  especially with Gears of War 2 etc.TEH_rankie
sadly it wont happen cus wii has more apeal. also ms wont lower price cus there still in the red with 360 and will soon start making money. if they lower price they just flushed that down the drain.

The same thing was said with the psp that it would outsell the ds once GTA came out and look now the DS is selling it 5:1. The Wii has sold 7 million in less than a year and the 360 is only at 11 million after nearly 2 years.

Both will be available for the PC. No need to own a Batsu Baku 360.

It was just an example probably a bad one at that. Still the facts remain the same if the Wii is selling at this rate without killer apps why would the 360 suddenly overtake it with the release of Halo?

Anyone who would want a 360 for Halo already owns a 360.

Well using the same logic that sheep are using. everyone who loved GC is buying a wii early b/c of its cheap price. and don't have to wait for a price drop to afford it.

You realize that halo 2, release what 3 years after xbox's launch spiked the consoles sales? but everyone who loved halo should of already had one???? and halo 2 outsold halo ce? but but but?

Wow, you have made me see the light. comparing consoles to consoles is exactly like consoles to handhelds. why are they called hand helds? They should be consoles for now on and placed in the same comparison. Ouch lets compare crysis to nintendogs. OUCH!!!!

you are so right, how do you do it!

I don't think Halo 3 alone will sell that many consoles, because most of the halo people probably bought a 360 when the crackdown/halo beta was announced or even before. I think the 360 is gonna continue to sell well because of the growing FANbase and the fact that it's made in AMERICA, and if you don't like it then you can just GIT OUT!

Ok I dont deny that he release of Halo 3 will spike sales. I mean after the I saw the Beta Im going to buy a 360 just for it but the release of the game will not cause 360 sales to overtake the Wii. The Wii has sold near to the 360s sales in under a year and if it keeps at this pace it will outsell it by December as well as the realase of its own killer apps the rate will increase.

Halo 3 is a brilliant game no one denies that and will sell millions to the hardcore crowd but it wont sell enough 360s to put a gap between itself and the Wii. Eventually the Wii at this rate will overtake.

Bollocks. All the big franchise games Nintendo has released so far have quickly become million sellers (similar to what goes on with the DS, which appeals to the same demographic). You have nothing but speculation to claim that it would be otherwise for SMG, SSBB, and MP3.

Why would it have to overtake the wii if it still has the #1 userbase? You expect it to in december, Halo 3 launches in Sept..?

And you have nothing but speculation to prove that this wider audience even knows anything about these new Nintendo titles.

[QUOTE="TEH_rankie"]It will be a battle of the casuals, most casuals want GTA IV and Halo 3 and with a price drop, the 360 could sell very well this Christmas, and much further in the future, i could see a $250 360 outselling a $150 wii, especially with Gears of War 2 etc.DoctorBunny

The same thing was said with the psp that it would outsell the ds once GTA came out and look now the DS is selling it 5:1. The Wii has sold 7 million in less than a year and the 360 is only at 11 million after nearly 2 years.

Handheld = console now?

keep reaching!

It was just an example probably a bad one at that. Still the facts remain the same if the Wii is selling at this rate without killer apps why would the 360 suddenly overtake it with the release of Halo?

Well using the same logic that sheep are using. everyone who loved GC is buying a wii early b/c of its cheap price. and don't have to wait for a price drop to afford it.

You realize that halo 2, release what 3 years after xbox's launch spiked the consoles sales? but everyone who loved halo should of already had one???? and halo 2 outsold halo ce? but but but?

Ok I dont deny that he release of Halo 3 will spike sales. I mean after the I saw the Beta Im going to buy a 360 just for it but the release of the game will not cause 360 sales to overtake the Wii. The Wii has sold near to the 360s sales in under a year and if it keeps at this pace it will outsell it by December as well as the realase of its own killer apps the rate will increase.

Halo 3 is a brilliant game no one denies that and will sell millions to the hardcore crowd but it wont sell enough 360s to put a gap between itself and the Wii. Eventually the Wii at this rate will overtake.

Why would it have to overtake the wii if it still has the #1 userbase? You expect it to in december, Halo 3 launches in Sept..?

What I mean is Halo 3 won't save the 360 from being overtaken by the Wii.

Its Inevitable

[QUOTE="TNT_Slug"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] It could go both ways. How do you even know this "wider audience" even acknowledges those games? All they want are minigame compilations and puzzle games.Vandalvideo
Bollocks. All the big franchise games Nintendo has released so far have quickly become million sellers (similar to what goes on with the DS, which appeals to the same demographic). You have nothing but speculation to claim that it would be otherwise for SMG, SSBB, and MP3.

And you have nothing but speculation to prove that this wider audience even knows anything about these new Nintendo titles.

They will all see the ads and commercials for halo 3 and that it is currently #1 userbase for consoles. They will all run over to 360 and purchase one with halo 3.

speculating is fun isn't it..

And guess what, I'm not the one trying to make ridiculous extrapolations so the burden of proof isn't on me. :roll:

Anyone who would want a 360 for Halo already owns a 360.

I think that's right, for the most part.. Halo 3 will only show a small gain in hardware sales, because all those whom wanted halo 3 would've bought the 360 as soon as it launched...

That's retarded.. That's like saying Anyone who wants MGS4 already bought a PS3 Considering the series never eclipsed a couple million(for each individual game).. Same goes for the wii and SSBM and Metroid *Hell did the second prime even clear a million?*

[QUOTE="DSgamer64"]:lol: Halo 3 will not sell that many units, especially when Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy and Metroid start getting released in the fall, those games are hardcore titles with massive appeal. Considering the fact that 360 console sales have pretty much halted, its safe to say that Halo 3 will not sell more consoles since all the Halo fans have already bought their 360's and no one else wants one.Vandalvideo
Have you looked at the best seeling game lists for the Wii? I don't think the vast majority of its patrons even know what Metroid and Mario are anymore.

Mario Party 8 sold 500,000 in 3 weeks, in the US.

Oh, actually, your first statement was this verysentence:

And now you're backpedaling because you acknowledge it was a ludicrous thing to say. Looks very plain and simple to me.

It's actually not retarted at all.. As soon as the 360 was announced every Halo/Xbox fanboy would've immediately thought of halo 3.. And I didn't say every single gamer that's going to purchase halo 3 already has a 360...

Echoes = ROUGHLY 1.24 million

And calling an opinion retarted is just stupid...
