Gamerace, do you honestly believe ZELDA will outsell a Halo game? GoW won't make past the 5 million mark.

Well Twilight Princess sold about 6m (between GC & Wii) which is still better than Halo ODST at about 4.5m but no where close to Halo 3 at 10m.   Reach is the 4th Halo game this gen and Halo is suffering from being over-milked.   Reach will likely fall somewhere between the sales of ODST and 3.

So if Nintendo makes a Zelda TP2 then it's reasonable sales might be close  (Wii's base is substancially larger now than at launch) but I'd give Reach the edge.

However if Nintendo makes Zelda's more accessible and taps into it's expanded market (girls in particular) it could easily shoot into double digit millions and go places yet another Halo FPS simply cannot.

It still has it.

What's your point?   That doesn't dispute what I said in any way.

You stated that Halo is suffering from being over milked.  A franchise that is suffering does not come out on top over newer games.  Especially newer games that are supposedly more popular now.
