Well your just not helping your cause much by going into every Reach thread and posting a bunch of Anti Halo stuff in everywhere. Also we've given you plenty of evidence to support Reach being just as big as 3 if not bigger. Here's a couple more points to help you out
1st. Its the FINAL halo game made by Bungie. "The definitive Halo made by the people who created Halo." This is their swan song and you can bet that their fans will want to show the love they have for Bungie and the Halo series.
2nd. ENTIRELY new multiplayer. Halo 3's multi is very very similar to Halo 2's mostly just tighter controls, different maps, and the addition of a few new weapons and equipment. Bungie has said many times that there will be significant new things added to multiplayer.
3rd. MLG HATES Halo 3. Now you might say "What does MLG have to do with Halo thats just a small percentage?" Actually that would be incorect. MLG is a huge deal with Halo in fact they have their own dedicated playlist for just MLG on Xbox Live and it is one of the most popular of all the playlists for Halo. They are very very excited for Reach and to drop Halo 3.
4th. The 360 now has a MUCH larger install base than when Halo 3 launched this will certainly reflect in first week sales.
5th. Halo 3 is still at the top of the most played Xbox Live charts just behind MW2 and not by much at all. This is truly incredible considering Halo 3 is going on 3 years old while MW2 is only several months old.
6th. Halo 2 is now no longer able to played online. This might not sound like much of a big deal but Halo 2 still had a HUGE community playing it every day, in fact it had a bigger community than prob 80% of new releases on live. These Halo 2 players will need somewhere to go and the answer is Reach.
hopefully that will be enough for now but if you would like more examples I'm more than happy to help you out.
