Microsoft cree que Halo: Reach venderá más que Call of Duty: Black Ops

Microsoft honestly believes that Halo: Reach will outsell Call of Duty: Black Ops this autumn.

"It's going to be a really good fight and yes I do [believe it]," Stephen McGill, Xbox UK boss, told Eurogamer at a Halo: Reach celebrity launch event last night. "We have huge expectations."

"More than 34 million people have bought [a Halo game] and those people are going to want to play Halo: Reach. We're going to do incredibly well."

"Halo was the stand-out title when we launched Xbox ten years ago," he added. "It was the title that made FPS on consoles an accessible, fun, life-changing experience."

The Halo: Reach review embargo lifts early on Sunday morning, and McGill expects "very good, very high, glowing reviews". He's seen "a few" magazine scores already and was apparently "very happy".

McGill was also confident about the future of Halo beyond Reach and beyond Bungie, claiming that the series is "in very good hands" and that there are "great plans" for it.

Last night's event featured a live Halo: Reach showdown between celebrities and gamers. The team of stars - footballer Rio Ferdinand, Gadget Show presenter Jason Bradbury, rugby player Ben Cohen, recording artist Mr Hudson and TV presenter Jameela Jamil - was, in McGill's words, "completely trounced".

Radio 1's DJ Reggie Yates hosted the match and branded Rio Ferdinand "officially rubbish at Halo".

Ordinary gamer Robert Daniel Brown was on the winning team. He told Eurogamer he'd had "the greatest night of my life", and put the victory down to "good teamwork and communication". "We totally thrashed the opposition," he said. His top tip for Halo: Reach multiplayer: "Use the Battle Rifle; it's the only gun that all of the professionals use."

Halo: Reach launches on Tuesday, 14th September.

Para resumir, hablan básicamente de sus grandes expectativas en este juego, así como de las virtudes de la franquicia, lo que ha supuesto y que estará en buenas manos tras la marcha de Bungie, además por supuesto de creer que venderá más el título de Bungie que el de Activision, supongo que en Xbox 360.

Menudo iluminado, el Halo se lo van a comprar 9/10 usuarios de 360 .

Yo supongo que con la pintaza que tiene le dará un baño al Call of duty en cuanto a ventas en Xbox 360.

En 360 no lo dudo, juntando todas las plataformas ni de coña, Reach no llega a las 15/20 millones de copias que venderán de Black Ops.

Si nos tenemos que comprar 3 o 4 Halo Reach lo haremos!

Totalmente de acuerdo, pero creo aunque en el global ganará el juego del "equipo reserva" de Activision , creo que subestimas a Halo Reach que sospecho que venderá muchísimo y no se va a quedar tan lejos del juego de los "segundones"

Bueno, de black ops si contamos todas las versiones (360, ps3, pc, wii y ds creo que también) pues dudo mucho que reach los supere, pero contando 360 y ps3... No lo veo muy descabellado, porque ya sucedió con World at War/Halo 3
