If u guys are talking specifically about 2014 sales than Donkey Kong, Mario Kart and Smash Bros might outsell Halo depending on when it releases and what Xbox install base is by the end of the year.

Halo 3 sold just under 7m and 360 sales were slightly under 16m at the end of 2007. I doubt Xbox will be that high at the end of the year, im guessing more like 10-12m so If Halo 5 has a similar attach ratio than It would sell about 5m this year. Also Halo games have always released in either September or November, Halo 3 was in September but if Halo 5 releases in November than its attach ratio will likely be smaller for the year so maybe more like 4m. So assuming that One is around 10-12m by the end of the year I think Halo will be about 4-5m.

Donkey Kong releases in February so it will have 10 months of this year to sell, Mario Kart releases in Spring so thats 6-9 months and Smash Bros doesnt have a release window yet but IF it releases in Aug/Sept and Halo in November than its certainly possible that these games outsell Halo this year.

If Halo sells 5m WW it has it in the bag, not expecting any of those WiiU exclusives to do that. Is ANY WiiU exclusive above 2m yet?? (That hasn't been bundled)

Nsmbu was above 2M before being bundled and 3d world will reach 2M soon enough.
