Halo 3 could be the sleeper hit of 2008

In terms of sales, Halo 3 has quite obviously become the fastest moving 360 game of all time. One in three Xbox 360 owners have purchased the game already, and Halo 3 currently sits just below GTA: San Andreas as the second fastest selling game in history. Naturally, the game's success has a knock-on effect, as sales of the 360 console have doubled, outselling the Wii for the first time in half a year. Maybe Nintendo needs to sell more ... oh wait.

Among all the other holiday titles on the way, Halo 3 has contributed to an analyst raising GameStop's forecasts.

Is this person not clear on what a sleeper hit is?

ReBurn6040d ago

Ah...this person is trying to be funny. I get it now.

chester6040d ago (Edited 6040d ago )

who knows

DZNetworks6040d ago

Thats what I am wondering as well... I thought that a sleeper hit was one that was not a big seller but was generally well regarded....

Selling 2.6 million units in 4 days does NOT equate to a sleeper hit in my book.

Halo 3 has to be the most over advertised game ever.

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

Kaii97d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies97d 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?

DrDoomer134d ago

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

raWfodog134d ago

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

BrainSyphoned134d 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*

Husker42c134d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb134d ago

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

ChasterMies134d ago (Edited 134d 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_Mal134d ago (Edited 134d 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.

darthv72134d 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.

Hofstaderman134d ago

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

Profchaos134d ago (Edited 134d 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.

BehindTheRows133d 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.

darthv72145d 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.

isarai145d ago

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

TheBrainZ145d ago

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

LG_Fox_Brazil145d 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
