I really don't see Halo Reach, Call of Duty 7 AND Gears 3 dropping in the same holiday period folks.

Call of Duty is irrelevant in this or any discussion involving fall releases.

"Oh no! We can't release Gears 3 in 2010 because Call of Duty 7 is coming out!"

"Oh no! We can't release Gears 3 in 2011 because Call of Duty 8 is coming out!"

"Oh no! We can't release Gears 3 in 2012 because Call of Duty 9 is coming out!"

"Oh no! We can't release Gears 3 in 2013 because Call of Duty 10 is coming out!"

Not at all.  Call of duty combines with Halo: Reach (supposedly the definitive Halo) to create an extremely difficult environment for another shooter to survive.  But we have seen in past years that two can survive comfortably.  A third however, even one as high quality as a Gear's installment, could lead to all three suffering.

Got any proof of this? 

I saw Halo 3(10.74M), Call of Duty 4(8.14M), The Orange Box(1.02M) and Bioshock(2.42M) all flourish in late 2007.

I saw Far Cry 2(1.50M), Gears of War 2(5.53M), Call of Duty: World at War(6.16M) and Left 4 Dead(2.66M) all flourish in 2008.

I saw Halo 3: ODST(4.51M), Modern Warfare 2(9.17M) and Left 4 Dead 2(2.57M) all flourish just this past year.
