Pwnage? Halo 3 pre-orders reach 4 million
If you somehow survived the massive onslaught of “pwnage” found in QJ Blogger Gino D’s report on that snazzy Halo 3 beta footage, here’s more Halo news for you. This time, it’s on how well the title’s doing sales-wise, before it’s even out. Xbox Evolved reports that Gamestop officials say that over four million preorders have been made for Bungie’s Halo 3 on the Xbox 360. Xbox Evolved claims that they have verified this information at five different Greater Cincinnati Gamestop locations.
What’s interesting about this bit of news is that it was noted that many Gamestop employees believe that a large portion of those who made the preorders are consumers who don’t even own an Xbox 360, and are just waiting for the price of the system to go down. (That, or save up enough moolah to get one.)
Believe what you will about the Halo franchise, think what you wish about its “overrated-ness” you can’t decry it for not having a large enough user base. Four million is mighty impressive.
