Re: HL2 or Halo 2 Which will be the big seller?
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… -
