Just a thought but what if Halo doesnt shift hardware sales? Apart from Forza which really isnt as big as the Halo franchise what can Microsoft look forward to to sell more hardware?

I think you ask the wrong question. The more ineresting question is what if ODST does shift a significant amount of hardware? Converntional wisdom would suggest ODST will only have a minor influence on hardware numbers for 1 or 2 weeks only; if that. But what if the conventional wisdom is wrong?

I also doubt FM3 would have a great effect on HW sales since FM2 has already introduced a consumate racing sim to the 360 gen. The only thing FM3 might do is get some people who have grown tired of waiting for GT5 to satisfy their driving sim need on the 360. Dunno how many people that would be around the world.

I think a Halo themed Xbox (probably released with Halo: Reach) along the lines of the Yakuza and FF PS3 Ltd edition models would shift a mighty load of HW for MS. Be on the lookout for this I think.
