Xbox 360 held six spots in the Top Ten Console Games, led by initial sales of "Halo 3" Xbox 360
o In its first two weeks, the three editions of "Halo 3" placed #1, 2 and 3 overall for console title sales - for a total of more than $225 million in sales in the U.S. with 3.3 million units. Average unit prices were $69 per game. The $130 "Halo 3: Legendary Edition" alone sold twice as many units as the top title for PS3 "Heavenly Sword" (SCE); the helmet is mightier than the sword.

Halo 3 got a 9.5 on almost all publications where it was reviewed. Heavenly Sword got scores ranging from 6-9. Which do you think will succeed, the game on a larger installed base with publicity at fever pitch levels or a new IP no one has heard about which has gotten poor word of mouth since its release?

Try and think things through. Just try for a day.

Did it have 10 million dollars of marketing? It's own mountain Dew? It's own "believe" ads? Was it the third, and final game in a hugely popular series?

Thats no to all of those. Not to mention that it's just a worse game. This isn't indicative of the PS3's "failure" if thats what you were getting at here.

This is, if anything, saddening evidence that so many people will pay an extra $70 for a little plastic helmet with 10 million dollars of advertisement funding behind it. Maybe if we could have bought Heavenly Sword Coke cans things would have been different... yup, the world would have been the worse for it.

meh, halo didnt even have a demo..wonder why...640p no AA:)killzowned24

Uhmm theres a Halo 3 demo on XBL...

Im pretty sure its been there since like the 25th/26th of September.

LOL @ the damage control from the losers.

Heavenly Sword got owned so badly...it couldn't even outsell a $130 game! :lol:
