I wouldn't call it a disappointment in it doesn't reach that number, here's why:
Lets compare the systems at the time of each game's release:
Installed base:
Xbox - ~19.9 million
Xbox 360 - ~11.1 million
Cost of console:
Xbox - $149.99
Xbox 360 - $279.99 (Core), $349.99 (Premium), $449.99 (Elite)
Price of game (base):
Halo 2: $49.99
Halo 3: $59.99
Not only all that but Halo 2 was released in November, one of the busiest shopping months of the year. Anyways what I'm trying to say is that even if Halo 3 doesn't beat Halo 2's numbers it shouldn't be seen as a disappointment considering the cost of admission to play the game.
