and Mass Effect and BioShock and Splinter Cell Conviction.
And no, I don't think that it will be the winner.

I don't think it's a question of IF it can win, I believe it's more like by how MUCH it will win. I think it'll be a LANDSLIDE if the figures for the gamestop pre-orders isanywhere near legit.

You think that Heavenly Sword is a contender to Halo 3? It is just God of war with a chick. And don't say anything b/c i watched an interview on that game and the guy asked if it was like GoW and then the guy said" well in the terms of you kill people with a sword then yes" Then he bragged about how you could change weapons as he proceded to bring out his " 2 handed sword" aka Blade of Athena.

GTA 4 could outsell Halo 3 because it's on the 360 and PS3...

the only games that even have a chance at outselling halo 3 are gta 4 and mgs 4 and maybe super mario galaxy because those are the only game franchises that are as big as the halo franchise.. that doesnt mean games like mass effect and bioshock and COD4 wont be better, because im just as hyped for them as i am halo 3, but the halo franchise is way bigger than any of those, its not even close. if u asked 10 people what mass effect was, maybe 5 people would know, buti bet all 10 would know what halo was.the only games that have a chance are the ones i already mentioned. halo is one of the most widely known video game franchises right now

In terms of selling the most copies, that is very likely.

GTA 4 and Halo 3... either one could come out on top. Depends on the quality of each one and how the market accepts them. Both will drive Xbox360 sales big time. Halo 3 puts the hurt on PS3 though as Xbox360 gives games both.

I think it will just because of all the hype and everything. People are going to buy it even if they aren't a big fan just to see what it's like and because that is what every one else is playing. I know even if I wasn't a fan (Which I am) I would still play it because that's what my friends are playing and I could play with them.

Halo 3 might beat the competition on pre-orders alone.

It is insane the amount of good games coming out this later part of the year. Basically starting in August and on the way down to new years. Yes indeed it is going to be a good year.

I think the biggest two sellers will be Halo and GTA. I think Halo will win simply because more parents will be willing to buy it for their kids giving it a larger consumer base. GTA on the other hand has built a bad rep among parents which primarilylimits it's consumers toadult gamers.Although COD 4, withit's strong E3 showing,has a great chance as the dark horse to surprise everyone, it just doesn't have the massive, rabid fan basethat the other two enjoy.

As for the rest of the pack such asMass Effect, Assasin's Creed, Super Mario Galaxy, Heavenly Sword, etc. Those just don't havethe broad appeal that the top 3 do. I'm sure they'll all be great games and sell very well, but none of them will beat out Bungie or Rockstar for the number one spot.

None and i actually have logical reasoning for once why

Halo 2 Was A Revoultion and easily one of the most best selling games ever it was sold out at toys r us the year after by me alot of xbox players that are really hardcore and are really casual have come to love the halo series im not saying everyone the only serious contendor is GTA4 BUT Alot of parents allow kids to play halo And A majority of them Do Not Approve of the GTA series espically after Hot Coffee and like holding a record for my things on the rating and the gta series perosnally to me got boring at san anderes
