Halo 2 Presales are Huge

[DigiQ8]

It's a loving facetiousness: we're really excited about Halo 2 also. Microsoft today confirmed that our feelings and your feelings are pretty much everybody's feelings, as the hugely anticipated sequel has already generated 1.5 million pre-orders in the United States alone.


This, Microsoft points out, makes Halo 2 set to bring in more sales in a 24-hour launch period than any single Hollywood blockbuster, ever.

wow 1.5 million !

[fanboy]HL2 will have 150 million![/fanboy]

Still, it would be interesting to see how Steam sales have gone even though it's not known to exist to the general public...

Quite a lotta pre-sales that. I rekon if we combined all the drool from the Halo 2 fanboys, and all the drool from the Half-Life 2 fanboys - we'd be able to create a second Ocean.

Great, now we are going to have an influx of Halo 2 fans comming here and saying that HL2 sucks because Halo 2 is doing so well with sales.

lol HL2 fans are a lot more arrogant then Halo 2 fans in my opinion

 

[ShadowFox]

Can we not start anothing ****ing HL2 vs Halo 2 debate here? Christ...

Anyway, that is a large number of sales. Of course, everybody expected the game to do well, so it isn't very surprising.

If I remember correctly GTA:VC got about 4 million.

:dozey: Doom III fanboys used to come into our forums to bag on Half Life 2, Doom III pwned itself; it was shitteh. Now, Halo 2 is going to prove itself inferior against Half Life 2, why? Because I said so.
