Absolutely no chance to beat Halo 3 lifetime (as games become ever more frontloaded 1st week sales are a different thing. I don't care.). Anybody who thinks this can outsell Halo 3 is fooling himself.
First we have the generation effect. It comes very late in a generation.
Then we have the competition (which I think is the reason for the slight downward trend of Halo games). Call of Duty will steal more sales from Halo 4 than what it did from Halo 3.
And thirdly, while the game looks graphically very nice (but so does the competition) I see no other reasons for it to be perceived as better than Halo 3. It's impossible to beat that 94% Meta of Halo 3 (for comparison Reach got 91%).
9 million lifetime.

i was going to say halo 3 had to compete against the orange box but it seems like that didn't sell even close to what i thought...btw i did not see a downward trend yet. odst was something totally different with no real new multi-player and reach was something different as well. it could be that trend and we will see it when halo 4 will release but i don't think reach or odst are good indicators.

At least they're some indicators. Plus the Combat Evolved remake had abysmal sales which I was very disappointed in.

i stll see no indicators^^ i'm a huge halo fan, i played even reach 500 hours or so with a huge break when i didn't play any game but didn't buy the remake because i saw no reason. i hate these remakes...they can only destroy your great memory about games you loved. maybe you will like them but maybe you will think "omg what a fuck" and odst sold even more than i expected because of the lack of multi-player. it had halo 3 multi-player and firefight but still...
