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.

It definately won't have a slow start.  Off topic: Are you not a multiplayer person? If you only buy games for campaign I could see waiting but if you plan on waiting for 50% off you won't be getting the game till next gen or you will be buying a used copy a couple years down the road.

Naturally with a slow start I mean relative to Halo 2 and 3, the opening week will beat almost all games including million sellers I'm just expecting that it won't come close to Halo 3's and Cod:MW2's launch week.

I enjoy multiplayer every now and then, I just can't get myself to play multiplayer for more then 30 minutes in a row. Halo 3 has been 50% off for a long time now and ODST is 50% in my country aswell so I think I'll be able to get Reach before this gen is over.
