If sales continue at the current rate, it will surpass Halo 3 in a couple of months. I don't think things will go quite as fast -- maybe it will take until 2H '08 to surpass Halo 3.
Right now SMG is outselling Halo 3 at a rate of approximately 1.2 million per month. 3 million sales would take 3 months to make up.
It will almost certainly surpass Halo 3 handily. If you look at the weekly sales, that's very clear. Both titles will slow down somewhat as the new year turns over, but it's clear that SMG, which has been in the top 5 in all three regions fairly consistently, will continue to track well above Halo 3 for a long, long time. 10m sales by the end of 2008 would require averaging about 1/3rd its current *sustained* sales rate over the year. Isn't that a foregone conclusion?
