I think I am somewhere in the middle. Also starting to think that Halo3 will NOT sell anywhere near the number of units Halo 2 did - thanks to the PS3 and general shooter competition (it didn't have much competition in terms of a SciFi shooter - last gen).

Galaxy:

Japan - 4m (lifetime)
USA - 6m
Europe - 4m

Total: 14m

 

Halo 3:

Japan - 100k

USA - 7m

Europe - 3m

Total: 10.1m

 

I think I'll agree with these numbers, except .5m less for Halo (taken from USA and Europe evenly).

 People seem to forget the potential of the Wii for FPS, the engine that MP3 will introduce to the gaming world, and my predictions that the Wii will become the FPS console in a year.
