The excitement for Halo 3 is incredible. From our pre-orders online and the buzz we're hearing in our stores, we know this release is going to be one of the biggest entertainment events of the year. We're thrilled to be able to bring it to our customers. |

I'm easily one of the biggest Halo fans (not fanboys), and I knew as soon as I saw that four million number that it was bullsh*t, and even explained why it's bullsh*t, but nooooooo, I got responses from fanboys mostly along the lines of "D0od you suxorz dis is Hal0 so its possible", of course without elaborating HOW it's possible.
Well now it's been proven false. HA!
I'm not trying to take anything away from Halo, one million is still a very impressive number, but four million was completely outlandish and I can't understand why anyone believed it was true.

EB Games ordered 4 million copies for launch. So yes MS gets that money and that's only one retailer. The 1 million is actual customer pre-orders and the reason MS reported this was to get other retailers to order up big for launch like EB Games has.

From what I recall, all the websites were reporting that four million actual pre-orders, each placed by an individual, had been placed for Halo 3, not that four million were ordered by the chain to sell at launch.
The articles I read claimed that five Gamestops in the Cincinnati area had confirmed that four million had been placed by customers, and the rumor set quite a few message boards, including QJ, on fire.

Heres a quote from the the article that was passed around and originated on Xbox Evolved:
"Many of Gamestop%u2019s employees believe that a large portion of the preorders are being made by consumers that don%u2019t even own a Xbox 360, that are just waiting for the price of the system to go down. "
That implies that the four million orders were placed by people, not GameStop itself.
One very good question that I saw brought up on a few message boards was, if this 4 mil number is correct, wouldnt Microsoft be parading it around all over the place? Which they weren't doing. Why anybody thought it was true is beyond me. Now we have the real number.

Holy market saturation! It's been a while since I've seen a VIDEO GAME get this much advertising (custom car, soda, its own themed system, collectors editions, etc). If this game doesn't live up to its hype expect a big backlash.

Who the ***** cares if Halo breaks the 1-million pre-orders? Halo sucks mangina, period. This is just another hyped-up ass game.

Hahaha please, I'm not a PS3 fanboy cause I don't own one, I own a 360. I was in the beta, and it sucked, just like the typical Halo game. I also played Halo 1 and 2 but damn did they suck. Halo 3 is just an updated verison of Halo 2 anyway and isn't worth my 60 dollars. That money goes to Bioshock.
