Halo 3 launched on ONE console. if Halo 3 was on the PS3 too, I bet it would be on par

Good for MW2.

If you have such a raging hadron for telling Bungie they can't design a video game then go picket them at their headquarters.

Lest you forget, Halo 3 sold 8 million copies overall, across just one platform. Modern Warfare 2 is for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Beta & launch game without midship= possible permanate loss of Competitive community.

If only...

Beating H3 sales in '07 by 1 million in '09 is smashing it? Halo 3 sales on Day 1 was 2.8 Million. So many more people have Xboxes now, video gaming is way more popular than ever before. If the market is larger, it will sell more games.

I would like to point out that ODST, a mere expansion to Halo 3, sold 2 Million in the first 24 hours. I don't think Reach is going to have any problems.

thats because halo 3 brought the "every one wants it" thing.
mw2 didnt. everyone who likes mw2 got mw2
not the same with h3. h3, most of the fanbase was new so they didnt know if it was good or not.

does that make sense?

Not surprised. MW2 is a more accessible, innovative, realistic, social, and all around enjoyable game.

Halo just rehashed their one solid game over and over again.

You just pwned the OP.

The OP thinks he's so smart and cool...

Sales doesn't make a game. MW is a good game, but far from being the be all end all of shooters, Halo 3 neither, but it's less far than MW. Seriously... It's not like MW2 had such a particular universe and original story and that everyone wrote theories for 2 years and that everyone was so eager to play it, I'd rather wait to get it used for half the price. We'll just put it on the shelve when the next MW will be out next year. Seriously... I'd rather play Far Cry or tons of other shooter or even Golden Eye/Perfect Dark before MW. It's not special enough to warrant all the hype.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

The gaming community has greatly expanded. If Halo 3 came out in '09, where much more people have an Xbox and much more people had access to the viral marketing that Halo 3 relied on so much, it would have seen much higher sales counts as well.

The numbers don't lie, but they are definitely misleading. 2 years is an outstanding distance when it comes to games (and technology in general). Regardless, MW2 is still a great game.

Are you stupid or something?

First off total sales for H3 are over 10 million now.

first week sales were 3.81 million.
*facepalm* that's what I get for reading Wikipedia. I think it's in the vicinity of 15 million, isn't it? Anyway...

MW2 a multi platform game outsold H3 on the 360 day 1 what took a week for H3 to do.

If you fail to see the embarrassment of H3 a single console Launch title series being outsold on the 360 by a PC port over multi platformer game you should stay in school.
Modern Warfare 2 had a huge fanbase behind it. The majority of gamers are going to buy it. Not everyone is a fan of shooting colourful aliens in the face, which is why lots of people like war-based FPS games. MW2 is the real FPS this year.

Disregarding that: when did Halo 3 come out? 2007. How many people had Xbox 360s then? Not as many as do now.

More gamers, means more to buy it. I reckon if Halo 3 had been released now, it would have done just as well. Reach, maybe not so, seeing as there are already 4 other Halo FPSs already.

There are people in my school now, who two years ago said Xboxs were for nerds. Now, everyone has one.

Edit: LegendaryFluffy beat me to it, but I didn't notice.

=P

Edit 2: Also - Halo 3 came out over the week, depending on the location. MW2 was a worldwide release.

"Ordinarily I would tell you to stand back if you don't want to be injured. But in this case, I'll make an exception. I'm going to beat down every last one of you!" -Kenshin Himura

Here's an interesting stat since you're so concerned with them:

When Halo 3 came out, I did not own an Xbox 360. I bought Halo 3 and a 360 JUST for Halo 3. If it were not for Halo 3 I wouldn't own an Xbox 360, and I wouldn't have bought MW2.

I paid over $300 for Halo 3, smash that...

If it weren't for Halo 3, less people would possess a 360 and therefor less people would buy MW2.
