Final OP update is done!

Halo 4 sold 7,520,654 copies in 2012, meaning I was 272,346 off.

Amazing sales!

I am VERY happy with Halo 4's sales. I originally thought it would sell slightly over 6 million by the end of the year. Never been so happy to be wrong.

 

What does everyone think it will sell this year?

Over 1.5m without bundling. So the worst case scenario is 9m+ by 2014 imo

1.5 million is pretty low considering Reach did 1.6 million. If it drops like Reach did I would expect 1.6-1.7 million. If word of mouth continues (which I think is really helping its cause) I think it could possible tie Halo 3 for about 2 million. But you're right; worst case scenario would be 9m by Jan 2014.

Although I'm going to keep my expectations low so I don't get disappointed. 

Halo 4 also has more momentum going into 2013 than reach did in 2011 because it was released much closer to the end of the year. HOWEVER, it must be remembered that 2011 was the 360's peak year and this year will be one of its poorest, so that will limit Halo 4's success. Anyway, without bundling, over 9m by 1st Jan 2014 seems inevitable
