[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"] yeah, it can't even outscore Halo 3 :lol: and is only 1 point above KZ2KevinButlerVP

1 point huh. Winning is winning. Halo reach is a sales success, and a critical success, the end!

"Reach is not a critical success"

:lol:

9.5

Just curious. :|

Live has exploded today.

I agrree with you on that point. But HALO ODST was sold like a full retail game. Not an expansion and the devs did not call it an expansion either.

Yea i think not. Only because it had to share the spot light with WAW. which dominated HALO 3 until MW2 came out.

"WaW dominating Halo 3" made me laugh. :lol:

It did for a while. But since it shared its base with Cod 4. it dropped to second place

People didn't even play WaW. Even 2006's Gears and the broken Gears 2 were more actively played than WaW in 2008. Nobody cared about that game.

The first game on XBL to dethrone Halo 3 was MW2, which isn't even 1 year old, while Halo 3 is 3. Now let's see if Halo: Reach can take back its crown from MW2. If not, then obviously we have a new champ.

There's no Franchise bigger than Halo.....except Zelda.

The Sims, Need for Speed > Zelda and FF. Otherwise, you're right.

Let me re-phrase. You saw just how well HALO ODST soldright? 5 million range. Now compare that to the 11 million for Halo 3. HALO ODST had did not have the major push from Microsoft Advetisement wise. Thats why i believe that it sold that low compared to other Halo games. If Microsoft was to try the same thing it did for Halo 3 with ODST. It would have sold a whole lot more.

If COD 4 was the last Cod game released over the past 3 years it willl log that amount of Unique Users daily as well. But Cod 4 has to share that base with World at War and a bigger MW2 and Soon Black ops. Apples to oranges my friend. If there were 4 other current gen Halo FPS games out there the online base would be split as well. If you combimne the amount of Cod players on the 360together i'm very positive that its above that above Halo 3. Even MW2 has more unique players than Halo 3. Thats a fact. You have 3 Cod games in the Top 4 of XBLmost played games. MW2 sits above Halo 3. Followed by WAW and Cod 4

You can't compare ODST to a complete Halo title. It's as logical as GT5 selling more than Prologue.

And Halo 3 dominated CoD4 on LIVE until MW2's release, so your logic fails pretty bad.

I can almost guarantee that if Microsoft did not spend hundred of millions advertising and hyping the game up it will not sell that much. The game lost its allure after the 1st IMO. The series (life FPS in general) as wore thin the same formula.

Blaze-Agent

Bull****.

850k unique gamers have played Halo 3 in the last 24 hours. Can we say the same thing about Killzone 2? CoD4? Crysis? BioShock? Any other 2007 title? Don't embarrass yourself. A Halo title is poised to sell millions and millions, no matter the hype or advertisement. :) Obviously, what MS does helps, but without their help, it would still sell many millions of copies thanks to the fans.

[QUOTE="walkingdream"][QUOTE="blacktorn"]I think MGS and FF are much bigger (and better) than halo.SamiRDuran

Correction: Halo franchise: 34 million.

First Halo game: 2001.

First FF game: 1987.

There are so many more FF games in the FF series, than there are Halo games in the Halo series, that it's not even funny.

Nonetheless, you're correct. Final Fantasy is a lot bigger than Halo.

nothing touches Mario. it's been around since the dawn of gaming as we know it and is still going strong-The-G-Man-

Pokémon is globally bigger than Mario will ever be.
