I think Halo's popularity/sales reached it's peak with Halo 3.

You can't tell if a game has reached its peak unless the next full fledge game of the series sells less.
Edit:
On topic, I won't say that Halo reach will outsell MW2 since it's multiplat and a huge success, but I will say it will most likely surpass Halo 3 sales. People aren't a dumb as many people think, just because it doens't say 4 doesn't mean people will look at it as an expansion or spinoff. Microsoft will spend huge amounts of money advertising this game and looks like Bungie is adding new things to Reach. I think people's unborn children will know about Halo Reach by the time it releases.

And you can't tell that the next game will sell more.
Do you honestly think that Call of Duty's popularity won't have an effect on future Halo games sales? I'm willing to bet a ton of people will abandon Halo MP in favor of CoD's if they have'nt already.
It's possible that future games will outsell Halo 3. Sure. But my prediction is that Halo 3 will be the best selling in the series.

No, look at Call of Duty 4. It topped the amount of people playing on Xbox Live for a few months but Halo 3 came back up. Reach is changing up the formula some and it should make the multiplayer fresh again so no, I don't think COD will affect Halo's sales.

Okay, well thats CoD 4.
The Call of Duty franchise has gotten bigger since then. Where as halo hasn't mainly due to the lack of a full fledged sequel. I think that Halo has wasted its time with Halo Wars and ODST. I think that those two games straying from the usual Halo formula has hurt it's popularity as a whole.
I just CoD has stolen a good portion of Halo's thunder.
