Anyone have any sales predictions for this game? I think Halo has sold 4 or 5 million copies worldwide, and the bulk of that was back when there was almost no userbase, since it was a launch title, I think there are close to 15 (maybe 18?) million xboxs worldwide now? probably more by the time Halo 2 hits. This game should easily sell a million units in the USA it's first month (ala Vice City). And with Halo 1 still showing up in the top 20 games, it should be 1 for awhile. The most anticipated console FPS ever, IMO the most hype for a console game ever (even moreso than any GTA game or FF).

Well what the hell do you think?

...let's see I admitted that HALO 2 is going to outsell KILL ZONE, but that KZ is going to be close on it's ass indeed, though I did use a JIN-ROH "Panzer Cop" in lieu of the Helghast soldiers in KZ who were no doubt inspiried by Oshii's works... thus I answered the question of an opinion true, just in the same round a bout convoluted manner that Hideo Kojima uses to tell his MGS stories. Same difference, all good. There's method to my madness, and:

i could be wrong but i highly doubt kill zone's sales will come near those of halo 2's.

I wouldn't be surprised if it sells upwards of 7 or 8 million.

Are you joking? Give me a break, this is H2 we're talking about. It will outsell every video game made for years to come... easily.

I mean, honestly.

It still won't out sell the next Final Fantasy.... :tickled:

I'm looking forward to Halo 2 a lot more recently, go play the just released HaloCE on PC. It gives you a good taste of how well things can be done on that multiplayer engine when done properly with lots of people.

For the love of god though, please tell me they're going to include Blood Gulch!

No offense taken, I'd just like to know how I'm insane as opposed to whom or what? I'm intensity personified and militant, but that does not make me insane in the general sense of the word as defined in the "secular" sense.

No, I'm pretty sure you're insane in every sense of the word , but it's all good.

:p

What were the sales numbers on Final Fantasy 7? When I think about video game sales and hype, that's always #1 in my mind. I don't know numbers though.

Yeah, that game and the n64. :oh_no:

I can still remember every magazine running n64 articles for
like 6 months up until the release, and that shit was everywhere.

I bought it the first week it came out, sold it shortly after - such
a piece of shit system.

FF7 was the shit though, so all the hype was worth it.

Yes but as opposed to whom or what standard would you come to such a conclusion? *I'm not offended because I know full well what I am or am not, but by what standard do you draw that infrence? ---If you're going off of what the "Collective Majority" of contemporary times views as being the Tow the line Politically Correct NIMBY minded TC then yeah, I guess I'd come off that way indeed. In reality though I've long since taken a giant leap back and examied my life, where I stand and the world overall. To use the popular phrase here is the best way to sum it up: The World Today and Political Correctness is Bullshit Lie! Learn to focus on what is not before you but was always there to begin with, and you'll see clearly. Learn to listen for the subtle hints within multiple conversations that is the "Real Truth" behind the lie we all perpetuate to one degree or another. Customs and ideals of 200 years ago are "against the law" today, but if they are morally wrong now, should they not have been 200 years ago? Who decides that? ---Some PHD holding fuck off who will never dirty his/her hands personally but is an expert at everything... and then there's the people who scoff at the ultimate Truth that is the "Word of GOD"... but PHD holders and theologians know better than a Divine being, thus all is a vicious cycle. No one who is truly insane cannot descern what is HOLY and what is EVIL. Cannot see without seeing... will not fight when it is time to do so. They'll hide behind the corpses of those who were ready to speak truths that were not with the times, and/or had the pulse to do what one must do because they understood the center of it all.

If you do not understand the gist of what I say that does not make me crazy nor you an peon... it just means we travel at different velocities and our ultimate aims in life are vastly constrasted. My life is "A CRUSADE" and I believe in that Mission above all else. To be the best I can be within the sight of GOD, saved by his grace and nothing more... and to be ready willing and able, and in fact in pursuit of "Righteous Combat" against those I am sent up against. ---Most people just live life and the only thing that defines them is the title their scholastic acheivements labled them as, and seek the praises of other falliable men. I however, am interested in more than just some stupid career selling this or that from a cubicle... it's about breaking down the inherent nature of man, better understanding it, honing it and being centered above all else until the due time. Most still do not understand that TIME as we view it does not really exist either. 8 years ago... heck 14 years ago might as well be yesterday, and 3 year from now is today. It's people and civilizations that change, that continue to re-gress within their preception of progression, but time stands still. Video games and movies are nice distractions to keep one pacififed {at least for me}, but a man's work is never done, and the work a man does is not about monetary gain though one must have money to live, it's not about fame... it's about "Getting it Right" and the further proliferation of TRUTH in a day and age that would embrace lies.

...though you probably already stopped reading this though, thus...

Just for the US and Japan it's about 5.73 million. Sources are here and here.

That's not including Europe/Austrailia/Asia though, which can add a shitload more sales. I remember hearing stuff that it was around 8 million or so, but that was years ago. Also doesn't take sales of the PC port into account either.

But yeah, with FFVII, god damn it was worth the hype. Greatest. RPG. EVAR!

i think at least half the xbox userbase will get halo 2, if not more, so if there are at least 16 million systems sold when it comes out, i'd say around 7 or 8 million worldwide will be sold. you never know either, some people bought 2+ copies of halo for system link alone (i did), it could sell even more.
