| kowenicki said: it is actually tracking between 5% and 6% up... Halo 3 hit 5m in week 4. carry on. |
If the game continues its 6% increase over Halo 3... it'll be somewhere around 6,261,000 at week 10 (Halo 3 was at 5,906,000). I have its 10 week number at 6,850,000 on Machina's thread, so hopefully it'll start showing awesome(r) legs. 
Interestingly enough, week 11 was when Halo 3 saw its Holiday boost (going from 163,000 week 10 to 207,000 week 11). Still, Reach was released a week before 3 was, so I think it'll get its holiday boost at week 12 or 13. We'll see soon enough.
Microsoft planned the game's release very well. Release the game in September to huge sales, and right when it reaches the point where its supposed to dip, it sees a holiday boost instead. Will be fun to see its end of year sales.
