More than spiderman 3, thats pretty epic.

More cow ownage. I love it

Yeah, and thats only one day.

But I doubt MGS4 can produce that much on its first day.

And i wont be getting halo 2 for 2 weeks. :cry:

I got on live today and 3/4 of my friends list was playing halo 3.

oh well.

So Nintendo is not craping tehir self?

only sony is?

Spiderman 3 had like 800 million in the end, first day doesn't matter as much as the end result. ZanuffC

And over 1 billion $$ around the world. 1st day sales mean nothing. remember PS3 1st day sales.

Yeah thats what I was trying to say, forgot if it was 800 or 1 billion.

Yeh well too bad Microsoft has lost billions since the original Xbox has launched... i guess 170million helps slightly but ther still losing money. GarchomPro

So is Sony.

lol Spiderman movie tickets only cost $5 while Halo cost $60+ it isnt really a far comparationThanatos465

You didn't have to buy a $279 console to watch spiderman, so I agree - Halo is much bigger.

This is dumb. Halo is >$60 when Spiderman is like $5. If you divide $170mil into 12, you get $14.17mil. So Spiderman did sell more.

P.S. For you mathematically challenged, I didvided by 12 because 5 goes into 60 twelve times.

You realize the sony has already lost 2+ billion dollars on the ps3 right and losing 200+ dollars per console sold?

And that wii is making 70$ now per console sold and 360 is making 40$ per console right?

Trust me mate for all the worth that sony has made they are lucky ps2 is still selling strong otherwise there gaming division would be a hugh money hole right now (every ps2 sold makes up for the half the ps3 lost costs).

Halo3: $170 million / $60 (being generous here) = 2,833,333.333... copies sold

Spiderman 3: $151 million / $8 = $18,875,000 tickets sold

Even if movie tickets were $30 a pop *coughjapancough*, 5,033,333.333... tickets still would have been sold.

Yeah, and thats only one day.

Omg i know Exactly how you feel! I can't get Halo 3 until next week!!

I have 23 people online on my friends list right now playing it, I didn't even know I had that many Friends on XBL! I think they just added me to Rub it in my face..

You fool, Sony doesn't wear pants :P

I actually pay attention to business news and Microsoft expects their gaming division to start profiting from the success of Halo 3.

This is dumb. Halo is >$60 when Spiderman is like $5. If you divide $170mil into 12, you get $14.17mil. So Spiderman did sell more.

P.S. For you mathematically challenged, I didvided by 12 because 5 goes into 60 twelve times.

AIH_PSP

Well, movie tickets are around $8 these days, but Halo is $60, or $140 for those true fanatics who had to have the special edition. So yeah, each Halo sold is the equivalent of either 8 or 18 movie tickets sold. Why would anyone be surprised at a game with as much hype and media frenzy as Halo having a bigger opening day than a movie? The video game industry passed the box-office movie industry in annual entertainment dollars spent several years ago.

Thank you.

Very unfair comparison. Lets say the average movie ticket in the world was 10 bucks. Since it was on Imax and on normal screens. 151 million divided by 10 bucks equals 15,100,000 million people saw Spider Man 3 opening weekend. Now Halo 3 came in at 60 bucks and 130 bucks. Will say for Halo's sake that only 30% of people purchased the 130 dollar version.

.70 x 170,000,000 = 119,000,000 Million dollars.

.30 x 170,000,000 = 51,000,000 million dollars.

119,000,000 / 60 bucks = 1,983,333 people who bought Halo 3 regular version

51,000,000 / 130 bucks = 392,307 people bought the legendary edition

For a grand total of 2,022,570 people bought Halo 3 in 24 hours vs 15,100,000 people watching Spider Man 3 in a 3 day weekend. Oh yea Spider man so got owned sinced what 2,022,570 / 15,100,000 = 13.4% is the amount of people that bought Halo 3 compared to those that watched SPider man 3. What those numbers really mean is that Bill Gates 's 66,000 square foot home will be paid for while ur still in ur apartment paying some smuck rent.

lol Spiderman movie tickets only cost $5 while Halo cost $60+ it isnt really a far comparationThanatos465

Forget the fact that movie tickets are at least 10, not 5, it's a totally fair comparison.

Success is measured in revenue brought in, not unit sales.

Cows are trying Damage control.. LOL I said when this game came out.. Master Chief would finish the fight.. Right now MS just crushed Sony.. Those are only the game numbers.. Just wait when the console figures start rolling in from now till Xmas..

Sorry Sony.. You have been weighed.. You have been measured.. And you have been found wanting.. :D

PS The Spider-Man numbers are for the openning weekend and the Halo numbers are for the first 24 hourse.

Yeah its too bad you dont get to play this game, instead you get LAIR!!!!The gears of war killer.:lol:

I doubt MGS4 will generate sales like Halo 3. But I am very confident that the game experience will be just as good if not better.

Halo 3 did amazingly well for a video game launch :). But think about it: $60 & $130 will rack up to a high number very fast, especially if a game is extremely popular. Remember Spider-Man 3 was only $7 per person and it still generated ridiculous numbers.

IN THE END: Great news for Microsoft. They will finally be profitable this holiday season with Halo 3.

Success is measured in revenue brought in, not unit sales.

Also, success is measured by net income, not just revenue. You can get all the revinue in the world from a product, if most of that money goes to paying off employees, production costs, advertising costs, shipping costs, taxes and such and your left with little money remaining, it doesn't really matter in the long run.
