Seriously if it outsold Halo 3 on the 360 only, That would be an amazing accomplishment. But when you count all four systems in the mix it's not impressive at all. Still it's no surprise that this game is selling well and will continue to sell well into next year.

1.2 - IMO

I think it won't outsell it just for the plain fact that HALO is SO overhyped, it's rediculous. I mean, you don't see soft drinks sportning COD4 do you? But if it was based on sheer fun and value, I could see COD4 outselling, but it won't. It just doesn't have the hysteria, overhype, and adveertising...

sheer fun and value is the reason Halo 3 has gotten so much hype.. it all had to start somewhere.. Halo saved the Xbox so give it some credit, even if you don't like the game

haha stop talking like a fool! Like 1.3 said you are mad at Halo 3.

OnTopic: Yes, if it sells more on the 360 than that is impressive, if you count all platforms than it means nothing..

I highly doubt it will outsell Halo 3 if they're talking about weekly sales...it's multi plat so it's kinda dumb for him to compare it's sales to Halo...

How is it dumb? It's a MULTIPLATFORM title. So technically, it should reach a broader audience.

4.3 -

Than why was Halo3 compared to Spiderman3 a movie or Harry Potter a book in sales? The simple fact is, Halo3 isn't even in the top 20 highest selling games of all-time and even if everyone who owned a 360 bought one, it would still not be in the top 10. If you like Halo3, fine play it, but to say COD4 overall sales means nothing, is just being ignorant.

Being on multi platforms it probably will out sell Halo 3 but I don't think that just the 360 sales of COD4 will out sell Halo 3 at all.

I bought this game on day one and thought it was really good but it was too short, I finished it in about 6 hours on hard but the online is where the fun is at. I think it will sell really good but I don't think it will out sell HALO 3 that's wishful thinking.

It better outsell Halo 3. It is a better game. I get so depressed when I still see people playing Halo 3 on my friends list (and there is a lot of them).

My one complaint about Call of Duty 4 is that it's veteran mode is sooooo easy. It is quite easy to not die once. Hell... your teammate AI are so good that they will do all the work for you if you wanted to. That's no fun though so I try and steal all the kills. The only real hard part of the game is beating the timed airplane mission.

While it's on more platforms than Halo 3, most of the best selling games of all time have been exclusives and one platfomrers. Super Mario Bros, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy VII, Previous Halos, Super Smash Bros.
So COD4's multiplatform status won't help that much.

COD4 is an excellent game, but outselling the "6M in 6 weeks worldwide" Halo3? Sorry, but I don't see it happening...

COD4 may outsell Halo 3 for a few weeks, but that's about it.
