halo reached one million

i saw the same propaganda PR statements on several sites, no need for me to  post the  crap as im sure you could see them for yerself

one million, huh?  in roughly 7 months?

w00tx0r!!!1  i guess thats reason enough to celebrate
:rolleyes:

ok, one quote  *snicker*

all console bashing aside, why do representitives say crap like this when they know DAMN well its a lie

• Since its launch, Xbox has outperformed PlayStation 2 sales by 25 percent when comparing system sales during the first four months of each on the market.

even with the PS2 shortages [only in US], they still crushed xbox

That would be all well and good for the xbox...
IF the xbox was outselling the ps2, but it has yet to do that.. even during launch.


EDIT:
That is sorta interesting to think they have yet to make up any ground on the ps2...
for every step they take foward, they take 2 backwards.
or, for every console they sell sony sells 2..
its like running a race backwards


like microsoft said, they are in a marathon..
problem is you need to run fowards in the marathon not backwards (c) Chrono

Additional News to add to your post MM

Metal Gear Solid 2 Ships Five Million

Sorta makes the halo figure all the less impressive..

Yeah I had a similar reaction--"fastest selling next gen game ever."  Heh, that excludes the PS2 (so MGS doesn\'t count--that\'s corporate lingo for you), so really it\'s only xbox and GC in the running.  It\'s funny, but it\'s marketing and hype.  It makes the world go round.

But the 5 million MGS doesn\'t make the Halo number unimpressive--to the contrary, look at the userbases of both machines.  The percentage of sell through is huge for Halo, not so much for MGS.

Don\'t make be bring up game:hardware ratios

i\'m not going there cause i\'m going to bed

Haha... One million... Whoo.... hoo...



I really don\'t like that game. Unless I get to play it online... That game is boring.

Thats great news and halo deserve the sales as well.  Halo rules!!!!!!!!!:thepimp:

errr, you must have the 60 FPS and non-repetitive levels version rast.

cause my version is tired

HALO gets 1 million in 7 months

Final Fantasy 10 Sold 1 million in japan Alone in just a Matter of HOURS !


some how i don\'t see how MicroSoft can even say they have out performed SONY on this one.

yea well that is sad that they used fake propaganda and all

but as everyone knows they arent the only ones

sega sony and nintendo have played that route

not to mention 3DO thinking the army men games are so innioative lol

Yeah but wasn\'t Onimusha Warlords the first game on the PS2 to sell one million and that was out ages after the PS2 launch. This was also selling to the Japan market which is very big. So in Microsofts defense it is a good acheivement.

japanese marker big?

you do realize the US has sold many a more consoles of PS2 then in Japan

so how does that play a part

Try roughly 5 months.

End of Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March, April.

And how long did it take for a PS2 game to hit 1 million? Exactly.

Onimusha did this in Japan, and it was only what? Many months after the PS2 launched? Not bad when an Xbox launch game accomplishsed this feat. Carry on.

And yes, I\'m aware that this is games shipped.

so, units shipped huh?

they gonna bury them in  a landfill like the ET game?

not gonna contest anything else in thier propaganda?

mm,

After actually reading the statement, it\'s supposedly a million sold, not shipped. I just assumed it was shipped, since that\'s what they usually announce.

And I\'ll be glad to comment on their propaganda if you point me towards it. Too lazy to go look for it right now.
