Well I think Halo 3 will beat the PS3 in sales for the main fact of pricing(h3-$60 PS3-$500-600). However the popularity of the halo franchise also is a factor due to the fact that halo 2 beat the sales records of some consoles and most games. The thing that i think will really let somone pick Halo 3 over a PS3 is due to the fact that you can get a Wii and Halo 3 for a much cheaper price, mostly being is that (we all know this) the PS3 is a rip off of ALL the next gen consoles.

PS3 copied features-
a "PS3" button (Xbox Guide Button)
15 degrees of rotation-(nintendos controller)
Playstation Market place-(self explainitory)
and the spider man font... yes i know their pityful


Please post comments flames etc.

Halo 3 is going to be like what. 60 maybe 70 dollars.
Not to mention the PS3 is a low quality piece of garbage.
HDMI support or not. The specs of the PS3 and how the Cell works is pathetic.

I definitely think that Halo 3 will out sell it.
There will be more copies of Halo 3 than PS3's

I dont think so. Look at it this way Halo 3 will sell for $60-70 while PS3 will sell for $500-600. If 4 people buy Halo 3 it will be about $240-280 whereas if only one person buys a PS3 it will be $500-600.

Halo will be a more succesful product. You see if a PS3 sells for 500 then it probably cost somehwere around 300 a piece for sony to make. Halo 3 will probably cost 70 bucks and will be like 5 dollars a piece for bungie. If Bungie sells another 13 million copies on release their gonna be rolling in it. I would rather be behind bungies profits then Sony's.

No since Bungie is owned by Microsoft its technically a first party game which means it wont cost as much, (50$)

Not quite. It cost much more to make a PS3 than what it will sell for. Much more.

Why did you ask this in a Halo forum? Not much less the Halo forum. You should have known there would be biased answers.

Halo 2 had like what. 1.7 Million preorders.

I severely doubt that the PS3 will sell quite as well as you;d think.

The reason the PS2 sold well is due to the low cost and its a DVD player.
Sony is just trying to hit the japanese market with the Blu Ray Discs.

The PS3 will do very good in Japan, WHERE IT DESERVES TO STAY.

halo 3= cheaper=more sales=less profit

ps3=dearer=less sales=more profit

fact ps2 was ridiculously over-priced, fact xbox 360 cost 200$ less than a ps2 did when it came out in australia.

I dislike PS3 and Sony as much as the next guy on this board but you really can't compare the sales of one game (no matter how extraordinary) to the sales of the successor to the #1 console in the last console wars. I have a gut feeling that the PS3 will be nowhere near as successful as the PS1 or PS2 but it's not to be underestimated. In spite of Halo's popularity, not ever 360 owner will buy it but every sony fan will likely buy a PS3 sooner or later.

  • 07.18.2006 9:16 PM PDT

Halo 3 alone may not beat the PS3, but in the long run, it will help the 360 beat the PS3 in sales.

You all seem to forget that Sony has a MUCH larger fan base that that of Microsoft's. So you think everyone will just suddenly 'jump' off the Sony band wagon? Get real.

it does but it WILL soon fail. sony is basically relying on the fan base which is dwindling and will soon go to xbox. the ps3 will fail due to its overpriced console and games.

PS3 = $700 for full usability PS3 games = $60 - $100. <----- You may say this is over priced, I agree. That does not eliminate the fact that people were paying up to $2000 dollars on ebay when the PS2 came out. Trust me, PS3 will sell, but it will likely be the end of Sony's domination over the console sector.

It's the ammount of sales buddy, not how much profit bungie will make over PS3.

The question here is a loaded one.

In terms of pure stock numbers, of course. The Xbox will have been out longer, and will have a seeded market. Some people buy two copies of a game, etc.

In terms of money, Halo 3 will probably bring in more.

In terms of profit, definitely Halo 3.
