most of the time the game is bought off the shelves more then pre-ordered. Im guessing....2 million will be sold in the first 2 weeks.

Halo 2 will probably go Platinum before it even goes on sale, lol. That is what I'm predicting at least, over 1,000,000 pre-orders

This was 2 months ago...

"We are running a promotion, that if you can get it payed off before it comes out, you can cut the line."

[me]

"That many, huh?"

[employee]

Oh, yeah. It's going to be total hell, come November 9th. I can't tell you the exact numbers, but we're gonna have to stock all of the back room with Halo 2 copies. The week it comes out, we won't have anything else in stock. A few days after, we will have our games back.


If you have to send all your games back to the warehouse, in order to make room for Halo 2 copies (Especially when there are 4 other gaming stores within walking distance), then you know the answer you are looking for, is A -blam!-LOAD.

...And I only live in a city of 70,000 people...

It would be kind of weird if it has 777,777 preorders. It would be even weirder (and cooler) if it gets 7,777,777 preorders.

Is this the most pre-orders a game has ever received? Last I heard it has already broken the pre-orders for Zelda 64 (I think that held the last record right?)...... But, that was a few months ago. What about PC games? Has it broken those records?? This game will live in infamy!

Don't know the total, but my brother in Portland said Babbages already had 700 pre-orders in the one store at the mall and that was two weeks ago. We both pre-ordered the limited edition.

I just called "EB" (where I reserved my copy) and they told me that was "priviledged information" idiots don't know probably.

Good question.... I would like to know myself.

I guess they announce it or maybe some website is keeping track that would be easier than having people (companies) report in.

If someone knows please post.

thats a lot of games, and a lot of people. well its better then working. working on something you do not like, but do for money, is bad stuff. better not mess with Nature :)


most of the time the game is bought off the shelves more then pre-ordered. Im guessing....2 million will be sold in the first 2 weeks.


True.... Everyone will be talking about this game for well over a year and that will get more copies sold than anything.

Anybody know the numbers for Halo??
