Halo: Reach will sell over 10 million copies lifetime guaranteed.

The only question is how much more than 10M its going to sell.

Will it be 13M? 15M? 20M? How much can the shooter with the best name recognition on the Xbox 360 do in a year where its facing a Treyarch Call of Duty rather than an Infinity Ward Call of Duty?

Hey hey, stop already lol. Each million after the 10 is very very hard to get. 13 mill is very unlikely. 15 mill is impossible.

Every million is hard to get. But the sales of this game start at around 8M and go upwards from there so it has a huge advantage against other titles. The advertising budget alone can be greater than $100M which is about 5* a typical AAA game. Every mainline Halo game has added rougly 2-3M between installments as the Xbox userbase has scaled over time. By the end of 2010 they will be selling to a userbase which is almost 2.5* the userbase when Halo 3 was released.
