Halo Reach. Not even a question in my mind.



Halo Reach should do it easily. Halo 3 has sold 10 million+ copies and was released to a user base of 18 million. Halo reach will be released to a userbase of about 38 million. You do the math.

Expect just first day sales of Reach to eclipse 5million+ and lifetime to hit about 14 million.

You make a valid point about the userbase.

Currently stands as:
Call of Duty 4: 8.16 million
Modern Warfare 2: 9.62 million
Halo 3: 10.83 million
Gears of War: 6.03 million
Gears of War 2: 5.58 million

Games in a series usually sell in similar numbers or grow rapidly as the fanbase grows. Seing as Gears 2 cant outsell Gears 1, Geras 3 wont come close. Although MW2 outstripped Cod4 easily its probably peaked so I doubt MW3 will outsell it. Halo 3, the current leader, came out at around the same time as Cod 4 when the Xbox 360 userbase was much smaller (around 11 million), so seeing how MW2 sold compared to Cod4, its likely Reach will do the same thing with Halo 3



Halo Reach...but close to MW2.

If they improve multiplayer then maybe, but still it wont over take Halo 3, be lucky to overtake Gears 1. I didnt play gears 1 but I hate Gears 2 multiplayer, especially the shotgun and that there is not Deathmatch variant



How about the natal sport game?
