Not more than 100k what it's doing now. You got to remember ... Halo fans already have a 360.
250-300k week of Halo Reach.

Being probably right about most Halo fans already having a 360 you are also partly wrong. You have to remember its been 3 years since a true big Halo title has released. 3 years ago the 360 was $100 more and had less features to entice certain people. Now you are looking at a $299 360s with built in WiFi, 250GB HDD, sleeker and more reliable. I'm sure there are plenty of people who haven't bought into this gen or only own a Wii or PS3 thinking about getting a 360 and Reach will be the game to push some of these people over the edge to get one. Reach is going to be one of the biggest games this gen. We are talking about a game as big in scale and hype as MW2 only available for a single console. It is a system seller and there will be a sales spike because of it. I broke down and bought a PS3 today and I'm sure there will be PS3 owners who will break down and buy a 360 because Reach is just too tempting. Not to mention you have Gears of War 3 around the corner.
Edit: I noticed after I typed this you put in a 100k sales spike which is probably about right, but I just wanted to state why Reach will sell consoles in my opinion and it could be more than 100k. I guess we'll soon find out.

What made you buy a PS3?

I just decided I wanted to have the best of both worlds and I wanted to play some of the PS3 exclusives. It wasn't GT5 as I think racing games are boring after about 2 weeks. I still like my 360 better but the PS3 is great. And to be honest if it was the other way around and I had bought a PS3 as my first system instead of a 360 I would be buying a 360 for Reach. I know there are some PS3 only users out there who would love to get their hands on the Gears of War series and I think Reach will push them over the edge to buy the 360. Reach is definately going to push some consoles.
