ODST - Your thoughts on its impact

Will it move 360's?

Will it outsell Killzone 2 in its first week?

Will it be AAA?

Of course it will. Every Halo game to me is AAA. Killzone 2 sucked

ODST is going to KILL everything else at retail when it releases. Have you seen the new ad they made? Check it out.

That ad alone is going to make people who have never heard of Halo and never thought about getting an Xbox 360 get up go to the store and buy both.

It's going to be huge!

Did you know that it comes with all the Halo 3 maps? It even has the executable so you don't have to use the Halo 3 disc to play online.

YES, YES, and HELL YES.

PS3 fans wish they could play Halo 3 and ODST. That's why they constantly bash it. They have to pretend they don't need it. I've got my copy of ODST preordered and I bet it's going to make Killzone 2's sales look pathetic.

ive already posted pre orders for mw 2 and odst. lets face it. mw2 is an exclusive to xbox. look at the pre orders. the pre orders show you how weak ps3 is in the usa.

I dont think it's going to sell to many 360's, but it will sell a few. And it's massive sales will steal sales from PS3 games, that's for sure.

I agree it's massive sales will destroy PS3 sales, but I think ODST will sell consoles. With the recent price drop and new killer games, this holiday is going to be owned by Microsoft.

There's a game of the year pack in with the Xbox Elite. It comes with Halo 3 and Fable 2. I think the ads for ODST are going to strike a cord with people who haven't yet picked up a console and they are going to want to get the Game of the Yea pack along with ODST.

BTW, check out this ODST vid doc, it's really cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0Q8Ca9jhQs

I'm not saying ODST won't increase sales, but I just feel it won't increase them by A LOT.

Who knows. All those Wii owners tired of playing kid games may decide this is the year to ask for Halo and ODST for Christmas.

1st week didnt kz2 sell only 1.2m odst will probobaly sell 1.3-1.5m on the first day

KZ2 has total world wide sales of 1.3m

ODST has nearly 1m preorders just in the US alone.

I think ODST will easily outsell KZ2 on it's first day.

PS3 fanboys say more pre-orders just means fanboys who dont even know if the game is good, yet they praise every PS3 exclusive like a god before it comes out.

PS3 fanboys are so full of shit. Halo has tons of fans BECAUSE it's great. Bungie has made a bad game yet for Xbox. They are just jealous becuase their precious KZ2 gets bitch slapped by Halo 3 even though it's older.

QFT....it will be funny to see Halo 3 ODST (an EXPANSION of Halo 3) outsell KZ2's 7 month lead LTD in 2-3 weeks.....PS3 fanboys can keep playing their graphics, and I will keep playing great games like Halo, Gears, Forza & Crackdown.

Even though ODST is still using the now outdated Halo 3 engine, I heard the improvements to the graphics are quite impressive. I can't wait to see it in HD.

I hear that....Just traded in Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 & Forza 2 for $38 towards Halo 3 ODST, and I cant wait to play ODST & Firefight with Sgt. Johnson, and then play the HALO REACH BETA IN EARLY 2010:) w00t w00t!

like all of us but least they have god of war 3, uncharted 2, gt5, heavy rain, ratchet and clank, last guardian, wkc, demon souls, and mag also to play soon, good time for all gamers

it will probly be AAA if not then definitley AA and ya it probly will out sell killzone 2. but idk about help sell 360's cuz pretty much all halo fans bought a 360 when halo 3 came out and i doubt there are any halo fans out there that dont have a 360

haha they whish they could play it... and when they do... they die right away and say "THIS GAME SUCKS CAUSE I BLOW AT IT"... ODST will sell like crazy... yes to everything you said

people need remember why halo3 sold so much on 360, because it was a combined force of PC/360 gamers, every PC fps nut wanted the game along with the xbox360 community, you only have to look at other 360 games sales to see they are normal sales for the install base, people rag on about sales, but Sony fan base is also spread out across there exclusives, 360 have only really got 2 big exclusive shooter franchises Halo3/Gears of War, Sony have pushed out Mgs4, R1/2, Socom, Warhawk, Kz2, Uncharted1, its easier to say that games sell better when your top 2 AAA hitters get all the attention in that one area
