It seems there is a "PSP sales figures" thread being made every five minutes on the forum these days, so I figured I'd report on some sales numbers and records that really matter. First, Halo 3 owned on the first day pulling in an impressive $170 million (45 million more than Halo 2). More than 1.7 million copies were pre-ordered. And finally, over a million gamers played Halo 3 on XBL in the first 20 hours. According to this article, these figures are from the U.S. alone! Here's another source for sales numbers. Seeing as this info is "old", does anyone know the current sales figures?
Solid numbers for Halo 3. Hopefuly this will show off that the VG division of microsoft is worth keeping around. Tho I question what bungie will do next since halo 3 is the last in the series. Will the next series or even halo spin offs be as profitable? I'm currious to later see halo unit sales numbers (not revenue numbers). Bah, Bite me! FF7CC & PSP Slim were important points for the PSP and jpn market. Halo 3 is an important point to the 360 and NA gaming. Besides there are tons of halo 3 topics on this forum as well. :shrug:
Knowing Microsoft, they won't let this series die. They will find a way to bring halo 4-6 probably... maybe pre-halo era (I havent played the storyline, I only play multiplayer) Plus, dont forget they will be continually tweaking things, adding new game types, adding new levels, so there's still work to be done in halo 3. J.
Indeed, you may also masticate in this direction. Excuse us for getting excited about something that doesn't interest you. In a similar vein, I may retort "FFS another Halo3 thread?"
It's true that there are a few Halo 3 topics on the forum now, but there is only one about sales numbers. I was kind of joking with that statement anyway, which is why "really" was in italics. I thought you were playing Barbie Horse Adventures. We all know you don't like Halo, so that begs the question... Why are you reading about a game you hate?
The title under my name dictates I have to read pretty much everything to keep the peace and weed out spam.
Hence the phrase "bite me". :thumbsup: I'm not bitter (i also was joking). I did make a serious point that I think both warrent a topic on assembler. Both actualy matter to the industry (tho neither might meet the gaming taste of some on the forums here).
we ll release Halo 3 on the PSP and sales of both will skyrocket, and everyon in this thread will be happy, ok?=p
Way a head of you man. My 3rd person game Iris had an unofficial halo mod for it. So halo has already come to the PSP. :love2:
what makes a halo game? the Theme? the Art direction? or the Gameplay mechanics? I wonder this because a mod on Iris will not "feel" like a Halo game, right?
Hey guys, guess what the best selling game in Japan last week was!!! *waits* http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=173100 Halo 3. :lol:
