well again, it wont be very high. there are 6million or sp Halo copies out there, all of which can be played on the 360. Reach on the other hand will have massive DD numbers and probably much higher than halo3 (digital bundles will help).... indeed halo reach may well have outsold halo 3... and now here we have a proper sequel in Halo 4. To think it wont sell close to or above halo 3 is a bit silly if you ask me. |
Reach has massive DD numbers thanks to digital bundles like you said. But I believe actively paid digital purchases of full retail games are very small no matter what game it is or weather it's on Games on demand or PSN (likely a few 100Ks max for even the biggest games).
But then you probably mean that if Reach sold a few million through digital bundles, a significant part of those guys would normally have bought the retail copy. I agree.
But I also remember the arguments when Reach came out. "This will be bigger than Halo 3, people see Reach as a main Halo game, this is huge". Therefore i think Reach is a good indication when projecting Halo 4 sales (minus the shorter legs).
