whats hilarious is outside of bitter fanboys (particularly on this site) this game has a ton of hype. The trailer is currently the most downloaded video on xbox live. It won't do 10 million IMO (thats Halo numbers your talking about) but 5-6 million would be a great success and could be possible as long as the game delivers.

Has internetz hype, yes, but not real world hype. One thing that has real world hype right now is Modern Warfare 2.

XBOX Live is real world hype.  Thats not some random website, its the ENTIRE xbox community and if you go to most popular trailers for ALL OF XBOX LIVE Rising is the most downloaded trailer, even more than Halo: ODST and Halo: Reach.  Will it sell as much as those two Halo games?  Of course not BUT the fact that the trailer is doing that well is an indication that the Xbox community is certainly interested.

Fair point, but people download whatever is free just for the hell of it, I still say it only has internetz hype going for it, I'll do some anectodal research at work on Monday and see.
