Xbox 360 Fanboy

Those folks that tendered their shares to EA must feel like true jackasses now.

(Yes, I'm abusing the reply-to-first-post technique)

it is an effective technique, but i would never do such a thing. _>

No, its still a holy s**t moment, 170 x 2 would be 340 so it would have been in second (assuming that they sold equal on both systems which we know they didnt) but thats still crazy. No one is ever gonna come close to that, not even gears, and i love gears but its not gonna sell like that on the first night, it might do a little under Halo the first night, bc i can see the fanboys standing outside for it (cough cough), but wow, that pretty much somes thatup perfectly

WOW!!!!

I vaguely remember reading that GTA 360 did beat H3 sales in the UK, at least for first day sales. In that post, GTA did in fact beat H3 in the UK. I can't say for the rest of the world, but either way, it is close. Also, I wonder how H3 would have done if it had gone cross platform. I mean, if it was also released on PS3, would it have done this good? I doubt it cause all of the people who want H3 have a 360, and any real PS3 Fanboy would not have boughten it just out of spite or whatever (I had many friends go out and buy a 360 just for H3, and to date that is all they play). Anyways, both games did well. I personally enjoy GTA much more than H3. I like CoD4 more than H3. I dunno. H2 kinda broke all the new territory for me and H3 was more of an expansion pack to it, IMO.

People who are into games would of bought a 360 for Halo 3, people who are not fussed about the game at all would of gone for console of preference, had GTA4 been a 360 only game, It still would of hit these sales figures due to people buying into the 360 for this game.

Same way as I will be buying my PS3 when MGS comes around.

Do you really think 50% of the sales went to PS3? I mean really? I think its safe to say GTA put a cap in halo3s crown. It'll be ok.

UK info:

"The Xbox 360™ version of “Grand Theft Auto IV” has sold more than 100,000 copies, or 20%, more than the PLAYSTATION 3 version in the UK since the game’s release last Tuesday, 29th April. "

or we can just see the 360 sales, so that we can know the facts, I have no doubt that GTA sold more, I would just like to see the numbers. But then there are people like you who most likely will try to bash H3 at any chance you get.

Who cares about the facts?

For christs sake, it's a video game, it's not like we're waiting for data about whether or not global warming exists.

The "fact" is that GTAIV has the best opening week sales in the history of interactive media. End of discussion.

Stop bowing to Master Cheif... Niko Bellic is your god now.

If any hotline is going to be set up it should be one for all the artards that take every chance they can get to bash Halo 3 so we don't have to weed through their crap anymore in any blog entry that mentions Halo in any offshoot sideways manner.

I don't even like Halo 3 that much, I played it for about two months and it was a fun ride but not cracking anywhere near my all-time favorite games list. But FFS it gets old weeding through all the "HAY GUYS IM INTERNET COOL BECUZ I DONT LIKE TEH HALOZ LOLZIES!!!!!!!11111".

You don't like it. We get it, and nobody cares. Just get the fuck over it already.

Seriously, when did it become cool to hate on Halo 3 so much? Just because it is incredibly popular people start bashing on it just like everything else in this world. Grow up, enjoy what you want to enjoy, let others do the same.

Do you Halo 3 guys whine this much when you play the game, too? You might want to grow a thicker skin or put some panties on.

Cool dude! My girl has been playing single player a lot I think she's hooked lol...

Yeah, she's supposed to be getting her Xbox back from repairs Thursday, so she went out to buy the game last night. I don't know if anything can pull her away from COD, but I guess this might be it.
