Next Week Halo 2 for the console, and he following week Halflife 2 for the P.C. will be on sale, OPne of the wags around here says that Halo 2 will outsell Halflife 2 by five times. Is he on crack or an astute marketing genius? Me? I'm buying HL 2 because I don't own a console. Scott
Well, Halo 2 is the sequel to the (IMO awful) only game the XBox had for a long time. HL 2 is the sequel to the mst popular online game available... I'd bet on HL2 since the XBox has a smaller userbase (GTASA was on the PS2 which outsold the XBox by about 250%) and because of the CS junkies. I don't have an XBox so I'm not…
I've not interest in Halo 2, didn't have much interest in the first Halo. I can't grasp FPS's for consoles - just doesn't work for me. I'm a huge fan of Half-Life and the mod community. Aswell as Valve's support for that community - which cannot be said for Halo (and I'm sure the same could/will be said for Halo 2). As for…
i put halo2 for both. console games tend to sell more then pc games these days, especially big name console games. halo 2 has over 1.5 million pre-orders, and pre-orders tend to make up only about 10% or so of total sales. half-life will be big, but not halo 2 big. and i didnt really like half life 1 but loved halo so im…
I can't be bothered to care either way. I was never impressed by Halo, and I'm not impressed by Half-Life 2 either. Hell I'll probably end up neve rplaying either of them
Parents buy console games for kids for Christmas. Gamers buy PC games for other gamers for Christmas. Halo 2 will outsell HL2, but that in no way makes it a better game; it's just more accessable. Frank the Avenger
Thats why I love consoles - the games come for the system, and in 2 years the games for the same console will play on it, unlike my PC where I have to spend 200 quid a year just to have it be able to play the newset games.
I am looking forward to HL2. I wasn't too fond of Halo but then again that was the first time I ever tried a FPS on a console. HL2 I am buying blind but Halo 2 I wanna testride first before I will buy spend 60 Euros on it.
Well we can assume that those that are posting here are doing so from a PC so would probably be more interested in HL2 over Halo 2. However there are far more counsel players than there are PC based players so from a shear numbers point of view Halo will probably sell far more initial units on release date.
