And i dont think every X360 owner is gonna buy Halo3.

 

Obviously... if they thought every 360 owner would buy it their goal would be more like $500+ million :-p

I don't know how these numbers work... if they count retail prices or what... So basically what I am saying is these numbers could be 10 folds off but just to show you how feasible this goal is.

They made approx 500k legendary editions. (correct me if im wrong here... i am pretty sure i read that, but can't find it to verify)
They already have 1 million pre-orders of the game. (http://kotaku.com/gaming/microsoft/halo-3-fastest-pre+order-ever-287713.php)

500k * 130 = $65 million
500k * 60 = $30 million

Ignoring collectors edition they already have $95 million, 7 weeks before the game is launched.

 

Again.... I could be wrong in 10 different ways... just saying these numbers are not insane.  All of that aside, im with you I don't see why Halo is so great.  But, I was playing PC shooters that were 10x better than console shooters for years before Halo 1 was ever released.  And, I will be buying halo3, purely so I can play with my friends!
