Exactly, many of you believe that Halo2 will be the only software somehow worth purchasing this holiday season for multi-consolers. Or even single console owners for that matter. Here's a reality tip, it isn't. It will sell phenomenally well, but 4-5 million in 2 months? Narcotics abuse is extremely bad for fanboys, I would even venture to say that RE4 would sell more GCs than this title moves X-Boxes. You all heavily disregard the oh, say 22 million+ PS2 installed userbase. GT4, MGS3, GTA:SA, also will be put aside to purchase Halo2. Btw, how many pre-orders did MKDD have last year? It outsold everything else quite handily iirc. No?

true/not true. This thread has always been only about the allure of the halo franchise and how it might help to sell XBOXs. Hell if I know how the PS2/cube titles are dragged into this discussion. I agree about RE4 - the cube is cheap enough to pick up with 1 game. It will probably move more consoles than halo 2

Actually, Need For Speed: Underground was the king of the holiday season (MKDD did come in second). But your point is still valid because I don't remember any heavy hype for it four months before the fact.

Ahhhh...quite right Nicco. Of course you're comparing a multi-console game to an exclusive one, although it did sell what, like 2 million on the PS2 alone? Actually, MKDD was receiving nothing but criticism & IGN Cube even gave it an unflattering review, as well as multiple negative previews.

Too bad you can't buy your account back



Don't know how the hell I missed this one.





EDIT: Meant to put this in my own thread. Oh well.

Classic stuff, should add it to the Halo 2 sales crow thread.
