Adding up the Halo series really is silly, when Halo first came out, and there still wasn't much competition at all for Halo 2. There was a little more competition for Halo 3, but Call of Duty was still nothing compared to what it is now, along with a couple other games like Battlefield becoming games of a lot higher quality. There is just plain too much competition to look at sales of previous Halo games and determine what the current one will do because of that.

No because all of this "competition" you speak of are all wartype shooters. How many sci-fi shooters out there? Halo has its own market with some crossover players and it has that market on lockdown. Halo:Reach will outsell Halo 3. The conversation is "should I buy Black Ops or Medal of Honor?" Not "should I buy Black Ops or Halo:Reach?"

Do you seriously think that the 11 million people who buy Halo aren't the same 11 million people who buy COD? I can understand the more hardcore gamers leaning towards other games like Battlefield, TF2, Medal of Honour etc, but Halo and COD are pretty much selling to the same casual group of people.

Notice I said crossover. I know for a fact some people buy Halo and not COD and vice versa. In fact multiple friends of mine only play Halo and haven't bought a COD a game as well as some of my friends have bought COD and not bought Halo. Until Reach that is. All of my COD friends are buying Reach so yes there are two different fanbases for the games. One look at a Halo:Reach vid or a COD vid on youtube comments page would tell you this. Just look at all the fanboy arguing over which series is better.
