Almost half of Xbox 360 owners purchased Halo 3? I will be very interested to see hardware sales of the X360 come next year. Very interested.

I made a prediction a few months ago that Halo 3 software sales will dry up dramatically. I've been keeping an eye on it in the sales charts, in Europe, it's out of the top 20 and that's surprising as its the flagship title for the market leader. In North America, I think a similar picture is painted there although I can't be sure.

Rooftrellen5993d ago (Edited 5993d ago )

Actually more than half of 360 owners have it, because it seems as if many 360 owners actually own more than one 360! This means the number of 360 owners is less than the number of 360s sold.

It's fair to calculat it, of course, by consoles sold, but we should remember that it's not quite the case most of the time.

I can't say I get it, myself, why Halo 3 has sold so much, but 360 owners must see something I don't.

Edit: @1.2

That's true, but anyone claiming to be a hardcore gamer (like most of the people buying Halo 3) isn't going to be so easily moved by seeing an advertisment everywhere...unless maybe MS paid to have the Halo 3 logo tattooed to the back of everyone's eye lids, though with everywhere else the ads were, it wouldn't suprise me...

blusoops5993d ago

They see advertisements on coke cans, billboards, tv, fast food places, gas stations, just about everywhere.

ukilnme5993d ago

Sure people own more than one 360. Why not if you can afford it. There are some out there that own more than one PS3 and Wiis as well so the actual number of owners for those consoles are lower than the number sold. Just wanted to point that out.

Texas GMR5993d ago

It's not perfect, but it's a lot of fun to play on and off line.
The media hyped it up so much that every Microsoft and Halo hater wanted to see the most perfect game ever made. Once it wasn't, the floodgates were open for everyone to get there digs in.

It's like me saying "I don't know how people can play Madden". It's not my game, but I know alot of players who love it.

To each their own. We as gamers need to stop bashing every game that we don't care to play or that isn't on our console of choice.

Rooftrellen5993d ago

Yes, but I already have the Sony fanboys against me for quoting a certain part of an article that called an older version cell obsolete.

The last thing I need is the 360 fanboys after my bubbles as well for pointing out that more PS3 and Wii owners are buying games than you might think by the hard numbers.

Xbox is the BEST5993d ago

is still the most played game on Xbox 1 on-line.

bababrooks5993d ago

hey meus, i get what your saying. one problem that the 360 has at the moment is the amount of good games, i for 1 cannot buy them all ,unfortunately some will pass me buy!
then there is the ps3 and a soon to be wii, things are great in the gaming front.i am one fortunate guy that likes games no matter the hardware(i actually do enjoy the fanboy banter on this site as it makes things competitive!)we as gamers all win.if you can make anything out of that mumbojumbo you are some man.

ukilnme5993d ago

LOL. My bad. The last thing that I wanted was for your bubbles to be hunted by fanboys. LMAO.

Real Gambler5993d ago

It's rather impressive to see that all three consoles get about the same attachement rates... Apart from the Halo effect, it's a quite interesting match between the two big consoles:

Gears of War (34.4%) Resistance: Fall of Man (35.5%)
Forza Motorsport 2 (15.0%) Motorstorm (30.5%)
Madden NFL 08 360(14.7%) Madden NFL 08 PS3 (18.4%)
Fight Night Round 3 (12.7%) Fight Night Round 3 PS3(12.8%)
Call of Duty 3 (13.4%) Call of Duty 3 (11.9%)
Oblivion 360(15.9%) Oblivion PS3(10.9%)

HarryEtTubMan5993d ago

I'm gonna have a huge collection of PS3 games when its all said and done.

YES... im one of the .41% of people who own WotG on 360!!

mikeslemonade5993d ago

This is pretty meaningless stat update. This basically shows how each system has appealed to the hardcore and the casual. The Wii is the most causual and the PS3 is the most hardcore. As of anyone didn't know that already. Move on... next story please.

Astro5993d ago (Edited 5993d ago )

Super Mario Galaxy is the reall killer-app in America, look that attachment ratio, it's incredible. Halo 3 and Gears are moving really good numbers too. And it's incredible to see that 1 year old games like The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess are still selling amazing (more than 33k). Meanwhile, the PS3, well.......

goodganja445993d ago

Attach Rates is the only thing XBots can hang their hat on. Now that hardware sales are declining rapidly, they need some kind of excuse to feel good about their console.

P L A Y B 3 Y O N D

ukilnme5993d ago

You just continue to troll and pull stuff out of your @ss to make yourself feel good about your console. Keep hating loser while Wii Jump In and Play Beyond.

PSWii60 FTW!!!

Rooftrellen5993d ago

The attach rates of the 360 do look a lot like an end-of-lifecycle trend, but this seems to be more due to the people who have a 360 buying a lot of games than the lack of console sales. The 360 console sales haven't been great, but they haven't been flat, either.

ukilnme5993d ago

With that logic what does that say about PS3 sales. Looks like the Wii is the only success then.

Grassroots5993d ago

Um he's missing Uncharted which had a great attach rate than Mass Effect if you do the math. I want Mass Effect to sell more, great game!

Kleptic5993d ago

haha I bought Mass Effect and do not own a 360 though...I wonder what percent of people fall into wierd catergories like that...

My roommates and I pretty much share a console each...I have the PS3, one guy has a 360...and one douche has a Wii...I have purchased 8 games this generation...7 being for the PS3...and 1 (ME) being for the 360...the 360 owner bought Metroid prime destruction for the Wii, and only has Gears, Halo 3, CoD 2 for the 360...the Wii owner has purchased super mario galaxy and Wii Play...thats it...because he is a cheap bastard that barely comes up with the money for rent...

the 360 owner is most likely going to buy Rockband...but claims to want it for the PS3 more than the 360...no clue why...but w/e, if he wants to that is fine with me...I have yet to really get into either GH or Rockband enough to justify buying either...they are great at parties, but its not something I would ever play by myself...

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot5d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator5d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin5d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai5d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0074d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer4d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer4d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
