I believe it will. The Xbox installed base in the UK is substantially smaller than the US as well as being proportianately having a smaller market share relative to the PS2 in the UK vs the US.

Dude. You were assigned to troll the IGNCube board at the last meeting. Quit stepping on my turf.

Hell no.

 

[bunkum]

It should be No. 1 but not guranteed due to total sales for Halo is only 377,618 units UK upto the end of last month.

You know, it's kinda strange. The day after MS sent out that press release that Halo 2 pre-ordered more than 1.5 million units in North America, I got an e-mail, because of my account on their retail site, that said they just topped 1.1 million. It's obviously possible that they don't really care what they tell retail members, and it could've been written long before it was sent, but it still made me think a minute. You'd think they'd want to hyperbolize as much as possible when talking to sales associates.

HOLY F***!

It's only 1/10th of the US number? Could it possibly sell more than 1/2 of Halo's current sales? That would only put it at 168k for the week.

I really am shocked at that number. I guess Halo is mostly a US phenomenon.

Which has sold better? GTA: Double Pack (Xbox version) or Halo?

 

[bunkum]

For comparison too instal base VC upto the end of last month 1,620,739 units PS2 UK

ok... shocking

What about Rogue Leader and SSBM sales. Where are they now? Could you get MP as well please?

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

Does the Halo numbers include packins? They seem a little low. But then again factoring in lower population, lower Xbox marketshare and then also considering a certain amount of US phenomenon they're explainable.

The monthly charts only do Top 30 FP and Top 30 Budget on GCN so many titles are missing. Will have to wait for end of year totals when they should be at least Top 100 or maybe even Top 200 for year plus lifetime.

Biggest sellers for GCN within these Top 30's are

MKD 191,372

Z: WW 147,770

SMS 247,398

SSBM 170,757

MP 89,301

LM 134,348

SA2 B 103,895

RE 114,240

It depends how the retailers prices them

If classed as one item no, but if priced as 2 items yes. Always a grey area as there is no definative answer.

 

[Gregory]

People are so overestimating Halo`s draw in Europe. It`s mainly a US phenomenon yes. Has Halo even sold 1 million copies in Europe?
