>Not knowing what the NPD is.

Lol.
Oh get over yourself. Ignorant, pointless comments only work when the other person isn't talking sense.

You're saying that a link with an article is less credible than a .jpg image I could make from my laptop. That isn't a source. Add to that, I have yet to find another source that says how many units were sold. The only numbers state total profits from the industry, the rank listing, and the comparison to previous years. Think about it for a minute, then turn red from embarrassment.

NPD is legit, despite their very amateur JPEGs they put out. VGChartz is known for putting out false information.

What were the budgets like for 3 and Reach? I know Halo 4 was more expensive, but I'd like to know by how much.

And here's an article if you really want one, not much, but at least it's from a source besides the Chartz.

There's a lot more games that came out during Halo 4's month. During Reach's, and 3's month, I'm fairly certain there was no other games. And Halo 4 sold 3% less, who cares?

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

But Halo 4 also sells Xboxs', you gotta take trhat into account.

And I think thge timing was pretty bad too...

Yeah NPD doesn't factor in console bundles IIRC, so it probably sold more than what they have listed.

I think that 343i did a great job. This is their first game. The campaign was well done and the CGI was fantastic. I like SO soooooo much better than FF.

Haters are gonna hate, regardless.

i feel like the online is so causal and it is very easy for me to play. it is always a good feeling of out BRing some one but its to the point now that i can out Br 2 and sometimes 3 people. i hate that the AAs are still here and it really really bothers me that there is not rank system. i always run out of ammo because the weapons disappear after 12 seconds, i am sorry that i dont die so fast that i dont have to worry about not running out of ammo. i even use the perk that starts me off with more ammo.

my KD is 1.56 and my BR KD is a little less than 6 now. my avg life in a game is around a min. i would love to have some new maps for halo 3 if i could get them.

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

Haters keep being retarded!

Notice how 26% less was sold in general? That means you need to average out all the losses, subtract that average from both Reach and 3, and then you'll find the games are literally the same. No serious increase, nor decrease.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

Oh look, the guy who hates cancer patients for recieving blue flames is posting such flame bait on The Flood, claiming how pathetic 343 for selling 3.2 million copies.

Seriously, just gtfo.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

You should really calm down, OP.

I think Halo 4 is good, I still play it, and I don't care how much they sell/don't sell.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Halo 3 & Reach > Halo 4.

Whoop dee freaking doo...

It is when you compare the install base in 2007 versus 2012.

Halo 4 is CLEARLY the best the franchise has seen thus far.

  • 12.07.2012 10:04 AM PDT

That's what 343 gets for turning this game into cod.

That's why I said "seems". I never stated it as a fact. And it doesn't make much sense to me either.
