Halo 2 passes five million

We\'ve already been down that road, mm.  I believe Nu gave you an extensive list of FPS available on Xbox to which you didn\'t bother replying.  I also believe Ryu made a comment about that very subject as well to which you also didn\'t bother replying.

If you\'re interested in other genre\'s besides FPS then I suggest you take a trip down to your local video game store.

so, umm what was it\'s competiton on the xbox?

 

nice dodge

[clips]

that number sounds suspect to me as well...i mean if that many people bought it, then x-box should have surpassed sony by now in terms of console sales as well by now...i mean i\'m not into fps, but is halo2 that great?

Here\'s that list of FPS:

Chronicles of Riddick
Unreal Championship
MoH: Frontline
Nightfire
Counterstrike
Unreal 2
Red Faction 2
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Timesplitters 1&2
007 Everything or Nothing
Rainbow Six
Ghost Recon 2

If you\'re interested in other games on Xbox simply go to ebgames and take a look at what\'s available.  Each one of those games is competition.  Judging by the sales Halo 2 is in demand.

Just to try and bring your argument into perspective, how do you explain that Grand Theft Auto outsells anything on PS2 2:1?  It certainly can\'t be for lack of competition, what do you suppose it is?

umm, lack of competition?

red faction 2?

If you mean monthly sales the Xbox has been very close in sales, even outselling the PS2 a few times this year.  November NPD numbers haven\'t come out yet but there have been reports of Xbox shortages as of late.  This can be contributed to two things though, one is Halo 2 but the other seems to be because there is a shortage of PSTwo\'s and people are going for Xbox to put under the tree instead.

Depends who you ask.

LOL, this was your response to Nu\'s post!

I like how you pick one game off that list, there are 12 fps games total on that list and I forgot two.  Starwars Battle Front and Red Faction(original).  The majority of them received high scores.

Any game released on Xbox, or otherwise, is competition.

Also, speaking of dodges, wanna at least try and address what I said about GTA?  It shatters your logic about lack of competition...

roughly 80% of those games suck

Any game released on Xbox, or otherwise, is competition.

so that means you think Kabuki Warriors is competiton to Halo 2

what are GTA\'s sales vs halo\'s?
go dig

oh, and xbox wont fit "under the tree"

Any game released has intentions of selling so yes.  Like I said, Halo is just more popular.  

Also, you can go look those scores up yourself but many of them scored 7\'s, 8\'s, and 9\'s.  That\'s above average, below Halo\'s average, however they are still competition.

what are GTA\'s sales vs halo\'s?
go dig

GTA Vice City = 13 million
>>>Link<<<
Halo 2 = 5 million
(top of this thread)

Your point?

just cause gamepro gives redfaction 2 an 8 score doesnt make it so
:rolleyes:

not vice city, san andreas would be a better comparison as they came out very close to each other.

regardless, saying a game which came out YEARS before halo 2 is competition is retarded, even for you. thats my point

what is halo 2\'s competition on the xbox NOW

[clips]

y\'know i have a short attention span..in one instance i look at ginks response and say "yea that\'s right,..what do you have to say about that mm?" ...then i look at mm response and say" yeah that\'s right..what do you have to say about that ginks?.."....*slowly backs out and continues to be a spectator*

thats beacase he rearranges everything i say, and throws it back at me in the form of a question

^^^How can a question be thrown back at you if everything you say is rearranged?

/so....so bored.

No, it\'s always up to the consumer yet the average score for that particular game is above average meaning the game isn\'t garbage.

still shatters your logic.  Despite all the competition on the PS2 console Vice City managed to rack up 13 million units sold.  Shows that games sell based on popularity.  Vice City was in demand, now San Andreas is as well. The projections for GTA SA are 15 million.  Mind you PS2 had several big releases within the same month yet GTA SA has gone above and beyond their sales.

regardless, saying a game which came out YEARS before halo 2 is competition is retarded, even for you. thats my point

But that game came out during the original Halo\'s release.  Both games managed to rack up significant sales.  They sold based on their popularity, not your silly logic that there was no competition because there clearly was, on both consoles mind you.  No, there hasn\'t been anything to the calibur of either game but that\'s not Bungie\'s or Rockstars problem, it\'s everyone else\'s.

what is halo 2\'s competition on the xbox NOW

Xbox in October and November:
Ghost Recon 2
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent (didn\'t score well)

2004:
Star Wars Battle Front
Fable
Chronicles of Riddick
Ninja Gaiden
007: Everything or Nothing
Burnout 3

All high scoring games of recent, except Rogue Agent, all available on the Xbox.  If you\'re suggesting that Halo 2 only sold well because Xbox gamers are starved then you\'re couldn\'t be more wrong.  That wouldn\'t explain why the original managed to keep selling at a consistent rate over three years time and it also wouldn\'t explain the other 10 million Xbox owners who didn\'t buy into the Halo franchise.
   
One also should consider that there were several huge releases on rival consoles.  October and November were full of AAA games on PS2 and GC, yet Halo 2 still managed to trump them all.  It\'s popular, for whatever reasons, but there\'s nothing else to attribute to its\' success.

waste of my time

i miss the old console debate forum
