technacly speaking halo reach is the 3rd halo game this gen. halo 3 odst is an expansion thats why theres a 3 in there. and also wars was an rts and not a fps so no one should be tired of halo fps games because of a rts.also why do you expect reach to sell less then halo 3. halo 1 sold 6.43 million, 2 sold 8.43 and halo 3 has 11. thats a steady increase each game. also odst a expansion will finish off at about 6.5-7 million. going with past figures i expect halo reach to sell 13 million copies( worst case 11.5 million). and black ops to get to 8 million(9 million tops) on 360

ODST is not an expansion, since it was sold at full price on 2 discs. the only thing that was the same with Halo 3 was the multiplayer. And Halo 1 and 2 were really the ONLY ''must have'' games for original Xbox. Halo 3 sold more because it was a first Halo this gen, and it launched on much more succesful console than original Xbox. I excpect Halo Reach to sell 7-9 million copies and Black Ops 8-9.5 million copies

HALO 3 ODST is an expansion thats why it still had halo 3 in the title. and you are entitled to your own oppinion about halo reach'es sales. but 7-9 million is low. halo reach is on pase to pass halo 3's numbers in america and only a little behind what MW2 got. here im talking about preorders
at 12 weeks left to go mw2(360 version) had 430k
at 15 weeks left to go halo reach has 300k. it got about 30k preorders this week. over the next 3 weeks if it averges 40k preorders then it should be at 420k with 12 weeks left. i think it will average a bit higher.
so first week sales worldwide should come in no lower then 4.5 million copies. even with bad legs it should pass 9m copies

first week sales dont matter as much as the legs. ODST had a strong launch week but it didnt have strong legs (on Halo game standards). And if ODST was an expasion, it was probably biggest rip off ever. becaue the only thing new in ODST was incredibly short campaign and the multiplayer was the same as halo3's. No one is denying that Halo reach wont have a higher openning week than Halo 3 ( i think it will do 4.2-4.5 million) but it wont have the Halo 3 legs. The game is 3 years old and is still selling. its something i cant see Reach doing.
