Best seller of 2007?
By then end of the year, highly doubtful,considering it can only sell 10 million if basically everyone with a 360 buys it, which probably won't happen. A ton of people will buy it, but not enough, quickly enough.Strubes said:plus..the people who didn't preorder it will end up outnumbering the people who preordered it anyway.
EDIT: Halo 3=best seller 2008?

I'm not sure...I believe Halo 3 will be one of the highest selling games of all time, maybe in 2007, maybe in 2008...but if you split the two...there's a ton of games coming out in 2008 as well.

Even better, I'll make a point. I walk into a store tomorrow. I say that I want to preorder Halo 3. I do it. I don't pick it up. Wow, do I defy the laws of physics or what?Hinesmdc said:look up the word preorder

And that did happen with the PS3 and Wii in certain areas.

Software rarely sells out, and if it does, it doesn't stay sold out for long.

especially with halo 3
they have to make at least enough to fill preorders, or basically its false advertising on the store's part, cause when i asked, they said i will have no problem getting one, no problem at all, just bring my receipt

Yes, I pointed that out before. I was more saying preorders aren't always filled. What was the last piece of software to sell out?

i dont think i've ever seen one
maybe at walmart, but they get small quantities at a time
possibly guitar hero, cause stores usually get lower quantities of them because of the big controller
but other than that, i can walk into any store and get any game i want, at any time, no problem

Halo 3.

Halo 3 will make more money than Diamond and Pearl did, even if it doesn't sell more copies.
That's because Halo 3's almost double the price. It would only have to sell 6 million or so to catch up in revenue, so its not a very fair comparison.SpartanEvolved said:Halo 3 will make more money than Diamond and Pearl did, even if it doesn't sell more copies.

The video game business is a business. Businesses are all about the money. I think pointing out that Halo 3 will make a lot more money is perfectly valid.

Wait, wait. Money or profit? What is the profit they make on DS and 360 games?
No, it will have greater revenue. Halo 3 also costs more to make than Diamond and Pearl, so it will generate more revenue, but we don't know if it will generate greater profits, because Halo 3 costs a lot more to produce and distribute.SpartanEvolved said:The video game business is a business.
