**Awaits the Halo and Xbox bashers....**

If indeed that story is true, that would be an incredible accomplishment.

Has any other game even come close in about a 3 week period?

Those are some amazing sales if they are accurate. 5 million sold in under a month is crazy !

Well, 5 million people can't all be wrong, can they? In all seriousness, I'm not holding my breath but I do expect when I finally pick it up (at my price) that I'll enjoy it immensely.

well, thats one amazing accomplishment

i dont know too many ppl that will agree with me on this one...but i think halo 2 is even better than halo 1

We should note this is worldwide, and not just the US.

How many Xboxes have been sold since launch?

and yet some time, some where somebody will still describe this game as rare in an eBay auction.

especially with the collector's edition game

We watched a behind the scenes video on making Halo 2 (i'm guessing it comes with the collector's set) in class today. It honestly makes me think I need to edit my Christmas wish list.

The last time I saw XBox figures it was around 8 million.

[briskbc]

Good. I hope the price drops significantly in the next year (used anyways). I rented it and finished it. Like many gamers I was unhappy with the ending and kinda slagged it for that reason. But now that I've been away from it for 3 weeks I can honestly say I thought it was great regardless of the appearance of the flood (which I really hated). I just don't want to play it for a good 10 months.

Its nice the idea that Halo 2 could sell so many copies but I only have one question. How many copies of both Halo 1 and Halo 2 must be sold before they drop the price of Halo 1 down to 20$ new? How many? I still refuse to spend 30$ on a game thats sold as many copies as Halo 1 has. Its not that my general hatred of FPS games has lead me to belive this is a bad series of games, just that I refuse to pay 30$ for a game thats sold over 4 million copies.

Fuyukaze, you just need a keen eye and the Sunday newspaper. Circuit City and Best Buy run it cheap all the time.

It was only $15 at Best Buy 2 weeks ago...

That a game sells doesn't mean it's good.

HYPE
Personally I don't believe that it sold 5 million units. MS is known for making up numbers.

[Charlesaway]

I believe it. Hell, even *I* have a copy of it, and I've never bought an XBOX game for more than $25.

Which Xbox-related numbers have been "made up" by Microsoft?
