Yeah, it's a very different situation than when Halo 3 came out. There was nothing else. There was no Call of Duty. Halo doesn't have the appeal it used it. I'm going to say 3.5 million and even that feels optimistic to me. |
When Halo 3 came Call of duty was already big Call of duty has 0 effect on Halo serie

Ok, sorry, let me clarify that: Call of Duty 4.
Call of Duty 4 had a signficant effect on the Halo franchise after it launched in November 2007. In regards to being the "go to" multiplayer. Halo was the premier competitive MP game. Halo 2 and Halo 3 were the pinnacle. That completely changed in November 2007 when COD4 launched.
Halo 3 was out about 6 weeks before COD4. Halo was the game of the era. On Xbox 360 you were either playing Gears of War or Halo. The COD era hadn't really started yet. I was an absolute hardcore Halo player, especially Halo 3. However, once COD4 launched that November, it was game over for me. The COD "formula" and gameplay won my heart over.
My point is, because of COD, Battlefield, now Titanfall, etc, Halo will never be what it was. And even if Halo 4 would have been an epic return to the series, the landscape has changed.

No it didn't Call of duty 4 launched in the same time as Halo 3 the best selling Halo game where do you see the effect,you give to much importance to originality even if a game is not innovative as long as it's good people will buy it.
People said the same about Gran turismo 5,they said Gran turismo is not popular anymore it's not innovative it's has stronger competion with Forza,Need for speed shift etc they said it won't even sell 5 millions and now Gran turismo 5 sold more then 10 millions

COD 4 launched 6 weeks after Halo 3. To say COD4 and the COD franchise in general had 0 effect on the sucess of the Halo franchise is a little naive. Halo 3 was the peak of the series in regards to sales. Why did sales decline from Halo 3 to Halo Reach?
The landscape has changed dramatically. This isn't 2007 anymore. People are playing other things; Call of Duty, Battlefield, Destiny, etc.
Back on topic: 3.5 million. That's my guess.

Halo 3 heavely bundled unlike other Halo that's why it's the best selling one it's just like Gran turismo GT3 was the best gran turismo ever yet GT5 sold more then 10m a lot better then pessimist guy like you.
The fact that people play Call of duty,battlefield and destiny dosn't mean people stop playing Halo.
You predict with your heart instead of you're brain
