A friend of mine recently bet me $20 that Metal Gear Solid 3 was going to kick Halo 2's @$$. The bet was that MGS3 was going to sell more copies than Halo 2 in the first month of sales. I don't know about anybody else but i personally think he is on crack.

Halo 1 vs. Metal Gear Solid 2.

Winner Halo.
Metal Gear Solid 2 was good for the first or second time through the the cutscenes were good, but too many and too long. I have a feeling that MGS 3 will be the same.

Halo 2 has already sold like 2 million copies, that guy must be on something stronger than crack. I doubt MGS3 is even going to sell 2 million copies at all. Well, not really, but still, most people are going to be spending their money on Halo 2 and won't buy MGS3 for a while afterwards (unless they actually have money to spare).

I agree I think Halo 2 SHOULD sell more the only problem is unfortunatly it may not happen. In my opinion Halo 2 looks much better and should sell more copies however you have to look at some numbers first. PS2 has sold 80 million consoles worldwide Xbox only 15 million. Not to mention that Halo(and Xbox in general) have almost none of the japanese market. So on sheer numbers Halo 2 is fighting an uphill battle. I still think it will be no contest just because you are refering to the first month alone, but if it were to go as total sells it might be much closer than you would think.

So almost all the sales for Xbox are in the U.S.?

I have a Ps2 and MGS 3 isn't on the top of the list. Devil May Cry 3 (hopefully as good as the first one) is. DMC 2 sucked A$$.

MGS3 does look good but noone can beat halo, noone

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

Master Cheif would know something about fighting (and winning) uphill battles.

Well, considering that there have been 4.5 mil copies sold of Halo worldwide, I'd say that Halo 2 will have at least that many by the time it even makes it to the rest of the world. If you don't pre-order it, you won't be getting a copy for a long time, unless they massively overstock. Which would be a very good idea...

I think halo 2 will win, but I think over all sales might be close, but first month will be no competition, because i'm sure that there are more halo fans then metal gear, atleast in the US
