Who said Wii was the machine for casuals? 360's made HISTORY.

I think its safe to say that Halo is the most powerful videogame entity in the industry or maybe EVER. It has to enter the discussion among the others like Zelda and Mario. Not only did it prove haters wrong by being critically acclaimed AGAIN, but it has the strongest appeal of any game product/ENTERTAINMENT product of ALL TIME in US history.

No one can criticize Halo now. No one.

Well, if the 360 starts to actually sell like the Wii, I'll agree.

I don't get it...
You said the Wii was casual (I think?) but then used a game that's incredibly appealing tocasuals to defend the 360.

Of course I have absolutely no clue what your talking about.

Actually, I think Gran Turismo has a higher track record that has lasted longer. Still, of the top five game labels that drive sales: Halo is in there. Still, it is an excellent game.

That was his point...I think.

The Wii may appeal to casuals, but Halo draws in more casuals than any other entertainment product in US history. Or something.
Anyway, now that everyone has Halo 3, will the sales stay strong for much longer?
