What's the problem?

-Halo Reach had 16 weeks to sell in 2010.
-Halo Reach sold 7.1m
Halo 4 has about 8 weeks to sell in 2012
- Even if it sells at a faster rate than Reach (which it likely will), it won't be enough to compensate the fact that Reach had double the amount of time to sell.

6-6.5m this year you say? When next weeks numbers come in it'll be over 7.5m

BAHAHA!

At the time and with the given information, it was a good prediction and, which is probably why you are just now responding to my post. Unless predicting with blind hope, it's unreasonable to expect an unprecedented increase in sales especially when the data suggests otherwise. 

I'm guessing this is just to rub my face in it though right? Meh...unpredictable things are well...unpredictable. I can't say I regret my prediction or anything like that.

Congrats to Halo 4.

And congrats to MBP for finally making a prediction that turned out to be at least close to accurate.
