Much less than expected. 300K would mean only 900K for Europe. Ain't that less than Halo 3?

Some analysts said today that Halo: Reach shouldn't surpass Halo 3 in lifetime sales.

For comparison... Halo 3 made $170 million in US only for first 24 hours... Reach did $200 million worldwide.

They also say that when they contacted MS:

When I asked if they could tell me if Halo: Reach outsold Halo 3 in the first day in the U.S. without releasing numbers they said ""Halo Reach" is officially our biggest "Halo" game yet."

If I just released Reach... I would say the same thing.
