According to some people in the know and game analisysts, they were saying that Halo 2 right after the Nov. 9th launch, might hit the 5 million by the end of the year.
We still have almoust a month to go till 2k5 and i'm thinking, it's gonna be a hell lot more sales.. Did anybody notice? At the game Conquer live and reloaded almoust at the end of the demo, there is the squirl sargent that it gets electrocuted and when that's happenin. Conquer has a magazine on his hands and on the cover it's Halo 2, but in the back it's Killer instinct..
My guest is that we will see Killer instinct 3 by X-box 2, cause that's the way Rare works. They like to give gamers little hints, on their games. Nice...

...and all without the ATV or the FLAMETHROWER!

I think World of Warcraft or Half-Life 2 will get the PC game of the year while Halo 2 deserves the concosle game of the year. If they don't have this award for console games and oc game well then they should split it this year and make it. I mean its pretty damn tough being that this was an amazing and unprecedented year for First Person Shooters. This year we saw the likes of Doom 3, Far Cry, Chronicles of Riddick : Escape from Butcher Bay, Half-Life 2, and Halo 2.

I think we all know that Halo 2 is going to be the Xbox game of the year winner. But does everyone here seriously think it will be the overall "Game of the Year"? I mean it's a very, very good game. But people have knocked it for being so short and so on. Then there are games like World of Warcraft, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and a few others that are getting absolutely great reviews and obviously not getting beaten down for being short. What do you think? I think San Andreas might take it this year (even though I haven't played the game).

It's not that they didn't have the time to put in the atv and the flamethrower. In the DVD they say that even though they spent a great deal of time on them they ended up sucking so they never put them into the game. So we probably wont be seeing them come into the game unless they can find a way to make them more useful.

yea but how is it possible to add coop over live for halo2? how would they do it would it just be a download kinda like a new map or somethin we download over xbox live?

By buggie I mean the Atv.

SO you speak for everyone now?-Who died and made you spokesman? Anyways, theres NO debate from me that Halo 2 is the best Game on consoles ever made but now that Bungie has made more than $5 million in sales, you'd think they'd add the content that didn't make it into the game due to time constraints. Remember the flamethrower or the buggie?-Throw that into deathmatching.........it could still happen and so could Coop over LIVE. Theres nothing wrong with hope is there?

FIG...you're digging yourself a hole w/ your halo 2 rampage. Alot of us, at least me, respected your past posts/opinions. But your halo 2 whining is annoying to the majority of us who believe it is single handedly the best game on a console and is w/o doubt the best multiplayer on a console.

Games of Halo 2 single player scale are not possible to play cooperatively over LIVE imo.

5 Million and counting...........now give us whiny b!tchy Bungie fans our Coop over LIVE. I mean come on, 5 Million sales should equate to Bungie doing whatever we fans say and want. On the floor and give me 20 soldier!

indifference you crack me up man lol

Half Life 2 could sell 5 million, xbox still as some more million sellers to come.

Well...i haven't gotten this game yet...but i will...so the numbers will keep a climbing : )

Well Ive been working at EB since luanch day. And we have sold a ****load of Xboxs and HALO2 ect. We havent had PS2s instock for almost a month. Sonys LACK of getting the slimlines out is hurting them and giving MS a gain this year.
We dont expect to get slimlines till the end of the year. As for GC nothing happening their. Ive had acouple of trade ins for Xboxs but thats about it.

Lyffer. It says sold not shipped, thats the beauty of it.

Not tryin to be negative, but is that 5 million to stores or in the hands of the consumer?

You know people on here will hurt you manic for making a joke like that.

what is Halo? is it a new controller for the PS2?

AAHHhh HALo... WHen thE woRd HYPE JUst. DOESNt. CUT IT... WHERE dO YOU GO frOm heRe BUNGiE?!?... WHy, UP oF COURSE!!! NOw I KNOW iTs EARLY, buT I WOULD iNFACt, LOVE TO KNOW whAtS NEXt foR BUNGiE!!! BUt FOr nOw... BASK BUNGIE... BASK iN THe SUN!!!

Revan, more than 15.8 million people own Xboxes worldwide. :)

revan, lol world wide and yes there are more than 5 mill boxes sold.

Hmmm, I didn't think that many people owned Xbox's... 2+ copies?

means more people for me to pwn online lol... cough yeah right.

Well, thats awesome then. Couldnt have happened to a better bunch of game makin' dudes, IMO.

Xbox and Bungie Kick Ass.

Holy wet farts batman!

The power of Halo!:D

wow! way to go bungie. 5 mill in less than a month. microsoft is gaining lots of momentum with this series into the next, next gen.

That live thing is a bit much as playing the campaign also counts towards live play hours if you have live. Notice Fable which has no live component save LIVE Aware, yet it has managed to get ranked near the top.

Yes, sorgrata, it is a lot. To put it into perspective, Halo: CE on Xbox has sold around the same number, only its been out for three years.

Holy Snapper's!

Sorgrata, YES. If a game sells 1 million in it's first year it's a big success.

With last weeks report of 'hardware sales will continue the downward spiral', an increase of 50% is pretty fantastic. I wonder if that'll push the Xbox back above the PS2 again? Did anyone credible hear what the release of GTA:SA did for PS2 sales? (please don't chime in if you 'heard it from a guy who heard if from his brother who knows everything 'cause he's 15... please).

yup! Still a few days to go to be considered a full month! Nov-9th to Dec 9th.

Is that a lot ?
