[QUOTE="DaysAirlines"][QUOTE="WuTangG"][QUOTE="Hitman_Dan"]nice, I'm one of the people that bought a 360 the weekend before and Halo at launch[/QUOTE]Good to hear, but Halo 3 will NOT shift consoles
[/QUOTE] Halo 2 did.[/QUOTE]But thats when casuals knew what an FPS was. In this day and age, casuals have gotten even worse, to them, all that exists is Brain Age and Wii Sports.What im saying is that demand for good games is gone, it doesnt appeal anymore, the hardcore 360 owners will pick it up, which is pretty much all of the 360 owners as anyone even remotely casual has gone to Wii, but thats about it.

[/QUOTE] So then why exatly did 360 sales double the week before Halo 3 came out? PGR4?[/QUOTE]Temporary spike from the few hardcore gamers left on Earth who now have a definitive reason to get it. Unfortunately, the breed is dieing down, and the casuals are now at their lowest point.Kiss gaming goodbye and enjoy this gen while it last. MS and Sony will be back...with consoles even less powerful than their current

[QUOTE="DaysAirlines"] Bungie's Frank O'Connor via the latest GameThreory podcast, over 2.5mil people bought Halo 3 on day 1. In the UK it sold 470K in the first 4 days which makes it the second fastest selling game over there behind San Andreas. Halo 2 had sold 2.4 million copies in the first 24 hours, and Halo 3 outdid that with a fraction of the install base.[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]2.5 million sales in its first day, 360 installed base is what, 9 million as of the last figures? Unless you really think nearly a 1/4 of all 360 owners bought Halo 3 the first day of its release, the game moved some consoles.

[/QUOTE]Yes but only hardcore gamers are buying the 360, dont expect the sales to stay. In fact, next week, the 360 will be selling 50k MAX. This game wont even go near beating Halo 2s sales let alone Halo 1s.
