Halo 3 "record breaking" sales in UK

Released today in the UK, UK retail has reported that copies of Halo 3 are flying off the shelves. As numerous retailers took advantage of midnight or early morning launches of the game, some are suggesting that the game may even beat day one sales of the biggest CD and DVD releases. More after the jump.

So much 4 halo 3 not selling in the uk.

MADGameR6053d ago

Infact its now what really matters to MS. What matters is HOW many of those copies were bought together with the 360 units.

HateFanboys6053d ago

Im sorry people but the game is pretty weak, im on the 3rd board (you know the board that starts at on fire after the explosion), and i already feel bored of it. This game is not nearly as good as people made it out to be. I think that best thing about the game so far is the graphics, and they aint that great. Halo 1 is definitely better than this. And where are these epic battles they spoke of? and where is this improved AI? its the same facking AI from Halo 1. You fanboys are facking pathetic.

And how many copies did it sell? that's what i want to know, not how much money it made

bluebrad19746053d ago

If your only on Floodgate your going to be pleasantly surprised at the coming levels. Also, turn the difficulty to heroic or legendary (there are more enemies on the higher diffculty levels).

gta_cb6053d ago

you really need to do the campaign on legendary! :D its soo hard you cant just run out and start shooting, you will just get sniped lol!
seriously though you should try it on legendary, even if you are nearly finished on normal, just do all the levels again on legendary :)

Where's everyone's favorite retarded nephew Nasim on this one? I could have sworn he said Halo 3 didnt sell ANY copies in UK....oh wait, thats because he was reporting it BEFORE it was released...

gta_cb6053d ago

i laughed when i read that, i do beleive this news, i went into one of my local retailers at lunch time and there was adults and children buying this lol i have my copy :D

cuco336053d ago

ever notice how he doesn't post in the pro-360 threads? like the one a few weeks back that stated the 360 actually is doing better than the ps3 in europe (reference vgchartz for europe)

that's right buddy, your beloved system is a good one, just not worth it yet to the masses around the world

nirwanda6054d ago

has a great deal £9.99 trade in or if you want to pay full price it was £34.99 if you preordered for £5 you also got a free rental

cdzie16054d ago

I have never seen anything like this for a game launch. The positive press Xbox is getting is worth millions in advertising dollars alone.

Vulcan Raven6054d ago

I live in a small city in canada, and they are forcing halo down our throats, but there are probably 40 copies sold and they have a whole section dedicated to it. I am very surprised at this as all my buddies in university have 360's.

kn6054d ago

Who is "they" and how are they "forcing it down your throat?" If you don't want it, don't buy it. Plain and simple. You are still a free, capitalist country, aren't you?

Bnet3436054d ago

is blu-ray. Enjoy the movies you fake ass gamers/roger ebert fanturds.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii104d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies104d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer142d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog141d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned142d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c142d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb141d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72141d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman141d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows141d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72153d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai153d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ153d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil152d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
