HALO REACH is not a sequel.. its not HALO 4, you guys are thinking it is HALO 4 and will topple HALO 3 sales.

Its almost impossible, HALO 3 has sold well over 10 million copies, HALO ODST is an expansion to the HALO 3 experience, while HALO REACH is a prequel to the original HALO, MGS3 didn't do it, so why would HALO REACH? Prequels tend to sell LESS THAN HALF the orignal game.

classic line...  yeah, cos prequels are very common arent they...   wth are you talking about?

give me 4 examples of major (i mean really major) franchises that have had prequels that have sold less... you know, just to evidence "tend"

Kingdom hearts

Resident evil

Metal gear solid

Final fantasy
