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.

I disagree with this. I don't think the audiences are completely different, but I don't think they're nearly as similar as you suggest.

they aren't the same audience at all. 8 out of 10 people you meet while playing Halo if you mention COD they tell you the game sucks, is made for spamming noobs, and to get out of the game and go play COD.
Halo players for the most part HATE COD. The gameplay of the two isn't similar at all.
Personally I enjoy both but thats certainly not the norm.
