Don't know but November going to be a crazy month. I know both Microsoft and Activision going to be doing some serious marketing before and during November.
Have they stated that halo is november? I ask because the last few years it seems like the big microsoft shooter exclusives have been hitting in september.
But then that's a completely pointless question still. Halo is a 360 exclusive and a MS flagship series franchise. COD is COD...nuff said. But on Xbox, Halo is still probably going to outsell COD at least 2:1 alone.
Still Black Ops 2 without question. Each year Call of Duty sells on Xbox, more than any other title out there with a small exception of a few Nintendo titles. Then combine that with the rest of the platforms, and people who think CoD will stop soon are delusional. It's unfortunate in my opinion, but it's true.
I'd still say cod, just because it's a title that hits a casual audience. Some players only own cod games. I can almost guarantee that halo owners are also fans of other games, but there are a lot of bros who just play cod.
Anyway, Black Ops 2. This is not a question of which will be the better game, this is about sales. Halo 4 has no chance to even outsell the 360 version.
Halo 3 outsold MW1 and 2, by quite a bit, on the 360.
MW3 is the only COD that has outsold Halo 3 on the 360.
If Halo Reach had starred the Chief instead of noble 6 and the others, I bet Black Ops sales wouldn't have been as good.
We will see next year sometime.
As it stands though, Halo 3 has outsold COD on the 360, 6 out of 7 COD games, if you count WAW, and COD 2, COD 3, MW1, MW2, Bl Ops, and MW3 (MW3 being the only one that sold more copies on 360 than Halo3).
I personally could care less: With the new DLC and battle-recorder coming for Battlefield 3, and it's already awesome gameplay and independent servers, I just don't see the appeal of buying yet another FPS.
This oversaturation of FPS games is making me get bored fast.
My money is better spent on Playstation All-stars, Jet Set Radio HD, God of War Ascension, LBP Karting, Assassin's Creed 3, The Last of us, The Walking Dead Tell-tail game series, Starhawk, Journey, Resident Evil 6, and many other NON-FPS games (how many does one need? I got Black Ops 1 and BF3--that's enough for me). You know how much all that costs? Who's got money to waste on another generic FPS, at the expense of enjoying all these other varieties of games?
Who needs another fps like Halo 4, Blops 2, or especially Medal of Honor: Warfighter (who NOBODY ever asked for a sequel to that particular game).
It not about what you want. The majority do want the game. Battlefield 3 is good but its no Halo..... and lol at your nobody asked for a sequel to MOH. FPS games are always gonna be popular. Always have been.
I'd guess Halo 4 to sell between 10-12 million copies, but I think Black Ops 2 will sell 13-15 like usual. Not really a fair comparison though. I will end up getting both because I enjoy both franchises, but I have no doubt Halo 4 will be the overall better experience.

How is this even a question? Of course COD will outsell it 3:1 or even 4:1.
Call of Duty of course, only idiots are going to buy it and forget about the superior game which is Halo 4.
Sales... COD... next question?
