It all depends on how much they hype it, Halo 3 was hyped beyond believe. They never showed so many tv spots for a game in my country before, there was about as much advertisement as for a movie like Pirates of the Carribean 3. If they do that again then 6 million is possible under the best of circumstances.

Personally I think Reach will come close to Halo3 's lifetime sales but it will have a slow start. I know I got Halo 3 in the first week due to the hype. But I regret buying it so soon as I'm used to getting a long single player campaign from a full price game. So I wont be getting Reach until it's 50% off and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

So what do you consider a long single player campaign? Halo 3's campaign took me about the same amount of time as Bioshock, Killzone 2, or any other FPS, longer than a lot of them like Call of Duty 4 or MW2. Do you just not buy any FPS at full price then? That would make sense, in fact, you must not buy a lot of games at full price. I'm not attacking you just wondering what your buying preference is. I don't like any game with a single player campaign less than 10 hours or so for full price, 11 - 12 if no multi is included, but FPS with a nice multi-player suite can go as low as 8 and I'll be satisfied.
