Cause I don't like a crappy game I'm a fanboy?

*Looks at Sig* ... :lol: ... more of the same 3 = 9.5 my ass ... all hype ... Jeff in his video review wasnt even enthusiastic, you can tell it was forced.

Thats exactly what I said, let me propose a hypothetical breakdown. On Gamespot's podcast Jeff Gertsmann was quoted as saying there are 70K legendary editions that were made. (Most recent one) At 120 a pop, that accounts for atleast 9.1 million of the overall gross sales. Now lets use Ceteris Paribus, and assume that no one bought the standard edition. (The mathmatics are too confusing and we don't have the numbers to assume otherwise). That means that there were about 2.3 million units sold. Of course keep in mind this is only a really rough guestimate. I could be off by more than 500K.Vandalvideo

Apparently, it was about 2.34.

nice good math...so wait does than mean people didnt buy standard?

Holy crap, the article says 2.34 million unites sold. I was only off by 40K units. :oVandalvideo

Wow, I misread my own article. :lol:

Anyway, excellent guess, that was near perfect.

Ugh.....how much longer are we going to have to put up with this? Good grief. Enough already. Yes your game did well and now you want to run into system wars to "PWN" the other consoles.

We get it.

Now go play your game and leave us alone.

but halo 3 and halo 2 suck cause they arent as good as mgs2!!

actually i love halo 2...and going to play 3 today.. ahh cant wait

arent 360 fanboys the one claiming that sales dont matter its just about games???

Kind of hipocritical...

Well at least MGS scares off little kids with all the talking and political storylineso the online should be more tolerable.

[QUOTE="-Maddog-"]

but its like, 1 game. ::|

Everyone knew Halo 3 will be big. but..its not like one game can save and win the console war...Halo 1 couldn't do it...Neither could Halo 2.

LegendofNerd

Halo 1 single-handedly saved the Xbox launch lineup from falling into mediocrity and arguably saved the Xbox from an untimely fate. If Microsoft didn't have it's Halo, who knows where the Xbox brand would have turned out or even IF it would be around today.

You see, most of the time, one single, solitary game means nothing. But on those rare occasions, one game can make or break a console, one game can influence a populous, one game CAN make a difference. And Halo is one of those rare games.

No. There were other games on the XBox besides Halo that kept it going strong. PGR, KotoR, NG:Black, Forza Motorsport, Splinter Cell, ES: Morrowind, Crimson Skies, TimeSplitters 2, Rallisport Challenge and many other titles kept the XBox doing just fine. That's like saying only MGS, FFX & GT3 & 4 were the only titles that made the PS2popular. We know that's not true. Same goes for the XBox. Even without Halo the system would have did about the same.

My guess is that more then 70k Legendeary were sold... enough to offset the Standard.

To the TC: Stop making Halo fans and Xbox fans look bad.

U r acting like some crazy cow! :o

MGS and Halo are great series. One might not like MGS or Halo but IMO we should respect both of these series as they have done a lot for gaming. MGS wont sell like Halo because it's not as popular as Halo. I'm no fan of MGS but I respect that series.

Why is it sony fanboys have to make excuses anyway? I think looking back, youll find it was hermits who were most critical of the game compared to PC FPSs.

Of course MGS4 won't be as popular... Halo has more mass appeal than MGS.Funkyhamster

The only other games have the same or more mass appeal overall is Mario & Gran Turismo series. Both of these series have sold over 14 million copies of their titles. Now that's mass appeal. I don't even think WoW has sold over 14 million copies yet.

What amazes me about Halo 3 is not that it sold at least 2.3 million copies, but that the game didn't sell out.

http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=17607

How many friggin copies did Microsoft make of this game? I know at my EBGames where I got mine, they still have plenty when I left. The still had all 3 version too. M$ did a fabulous job making sure there were enough copies for everyone.

The DS Lite is in stock and still manages to outsell every other console. So, having a product in stock, is good for both the company and the consumer. Now if a product is in stock because its not selling thats obviously bad. But Microsoft did not expect to sell 4 million in one day, they want people to walk in and be able to buy it, after all the fanboys get it on day one.

170$Million on its first day! Also i got over million pre-orders! I bet your so called MGS 4 will not be as Halo! You sony fanboys are waiters! waiting for your Sony line-up which is your excuse everytime a topic bashs Sony.

While da 360 players play their best games until another hype of 360 comes out. also XBL i the best network for gaming although it is priced but better than getting crap online game like PS3 :twisted:

Sony fanboys I dare you!

ForgottenDemon

Dude what do you expect? The PS3 isn't even though it's first year yet.

BTW you sound like a child when you say stuff like that. They are gaming companys and areout to make a buck off of YOU, they don't give a **** about us personally, so why devote you're self to one or the other like that.

Halo 3 is great,andI can't wait for more x360 gamesto come out.

But the same can be said for the PS3 and it's game line up.

I don't know about MGS4, iv never really been into that game, but FF13 will do good and will sell alot,don't forget about japan dude, thats where it's going to sell like crazy, and it's a loved game all over the world, prob won't do as good as Halo 3, but it will sell alot, and that all Sony cares about.

oh jeez . .

there's nothing for us 'sony fanboys' to say--fine, it sold really well, just as it was expected to, but why should we really care about this???
