7 mil may be hard to obtain through NPD only, but I could definitely see a 5-7 mil first week release. Halo 3: ODST easily went over 2 million and it was slammed super hard by critics and fans alike for being "too short" or "just an expansion." Halo Reach is a full on Halo game set with multiple spartans. Halo Reach is also MS's "money" game next year, something that ODST was not. Fans of the Halo series (and there's over 10 million of us) know that this game will be well worth playing. The Halo series has dominated XBL usage time for years and there is no reason to suspect that will change. Also, expect massive amounts of adverts for this game; perhaps even more than Halo 3 itself. I predict that within 12 months of release, this game will have the highest sales (LTD) on the Xbox console period.
