Hmm... Contrary to some folks' belief, the Halo games have VERY impressive legs... In terms of the drop-off, it will be huge, but the sustained weekly sales will still trump practically any other game in it's similar week. Only stuff like Nintendogs and Mario will be higher, but they don't have a 2.6M NA / 3.8M WW opening week.
With that in mind, what do people expect by year end? ~6M? More?
